United We Stand


In our study of Scripture, have we ever noticed one word that seems paramount in the heart of God, it can be found in verses which reveals unto us God's eternal plan;

"...to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ." - Eph 1:10
":until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God..." - Eph. 4:13

 Yes…. It’s Unity

God doesn't just desire to build a church in the name of a church, but a united church; in fact a gathering of un-united hearts cannot stand.

"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - Ecc. 4:12

It is the heart cry of God to the church today that we be united, because without it, there won't be progress. Also checking through scriptures, we see how much God respects the power of unity

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" - Matt. 18:20

 Notice the word 'together' after the gather,
Gathering is just to bring things closer to each other, but together means to bring into a relationship, that is the thing in a gathering of sons that can bring down the manifest presence of God, for he clearly told us that.

So, we all as a church, let's forget our individual differences, and move in unity unto the body that Christ came to establish.


May God Help Us.

‘THE ESSENCE OF THE PARTY’

Hello friends, trust you are doing good. Already we are in the Christmas season and safely, I can say that the ‘Christmas fever’ has caught us all. But briefly I’d like to share a short story with us, though a sad one but I believe we’ll get the message.  Its about a family who, after trusting God for a child for some time, finally got one and when the day of the naming ceremony came, I trust we know how colourful and ‘loaded’ it was going to be, the mother of the child was like the happiest person on earth that day moving from chair to chair, room to room, person to person, just greeting everyone who turned up, as the gust were arriving, she was welcoming them with a bright smile on her face and expressed total joy and happiness that day. the Father of the child also couldn’t hide his joy as he just felt like he was above the world at that time and was over-joyous. Then a guest arrived, who just went over to meet the mother of the child, asking to see the baby. so, the moth...

MUSTARD SEED FAITH

Hello friends, trust you are good. Today I'll be sharing a piece I titled Mustard Seed Faith. And our text is Matthew 17:14-20: 14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.” 17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Noth...

A Life Of Praise

Image
Good day fellow believers, today's post is going to be on a life that praises God. "Praise is something we do when we don't know what to do" - Bishop David Abioye The Bible recorded of Paul and Silas that after they prayed and it was like God wasn't answering, they began to sing and then a miracle happened. When we pray, angels come down to minister unto us (Heb. 1:14), just like the case of Daniel (in Daniel 10), but whenever we praise, God himself attends to our praises because as the psalmist recorded, 'God inhabits the praises of His people'. Angels can operate in an atmosphere of prayer but an atmosphere if praises is God's dwelling place. So, safely we can say that a life that praises God is a life that carries God, and when we carry God on our inside, we experience great and mighty things. One thing is that praises is not all about songs, though its a part of it, but praise is a thing of the heart, a heart that constantly worship God. Then y...
