The importance of unity

It is important for us to be united, because when we are united, we begin to have one spirit, one mind, and one heart. Unity allows things to run more quickly and without interruptions or delays. Unity attracts God's attention and blessings to manifest in our lives.

There must be a difference between Christians and sinners, and can be accomplished when Christians work together. In other words, the more we unite, the more the world will realize that we are members of the family of love, also known as the family of Jesus. 

And it becomes much easier for us to overcome a particular challenge.

It is difficult for a lion to attack an elephant on its own, but when the lion is surrounded by other lions, the task becomes much easier.  

When there is division, you either find yourself in one place or moving in circles. Because some members of the group want to return to Egypt, while others want to go straight to the Promised Land. So, in life, pick a winning team and surround yourself with people who share your values. When you associate with fools, you become one of them. 

"Holy Father, keep them safe through the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one" (See John 17:11). This prayer of Jesus, the last words he spoke while surrounded by his disciples, demonstrates how important unity among his disciples was to Jesus. 

The deep unity that Jesus had and continues to have with his Father is both the standard and the source of unity among his disciples. The triune God is responsible for Christian unity. His nature is thus revealed in the fellowship of his children. In his prayer, Jesus asks the Father to grant the disciples' unity to those who will listen to their message.  

It is my prayer that any disagreements we may have with one another will be resolved and set aside so that we can move forward and do everything God has called us to do.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
