The importance of unity

Greetings to you, my dear friends!Today I want to share with you on the importance of unity. Unity of goals and vision, unity of language and efforts always generate that great and powerful urge that is necessary for a project to succeed. This is precisely the thing that we see in this passage of Scripture:
“Then they said to one another, „Come let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. And they said, „Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, „Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” (Genesis 11:3-7).
This Scripture tells us that the people had one goal, they had one language, and they put forth a unified effort, and it says about them that “now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them”. God said that because of their unity they would be successful in everything that they do. In the Bible God often speaks to His people about unity. Unity is a very important key that allows us as God’s people or the Church to fulfill the will of God and our calling in this earth.A united and consolidated team will always succeed! That is why Satan so fervently fights against the unity of God’s people. Satan works extremely hard to obstruct understanding between people, causing them to grow apart so that the work of God and the establishment of His Kingdom in this earth do not go on. Today God wants to say to each of us that it is very important to strive towards unity and towards becoming one team that has decided to establish the Kingdom of God.Are you a part of God’s team? What is your place on this team? Are you trying to understand its vision? Are you putting forth effort to reach the goals that are set before your team so that the Kingdom of God may be established? This is the word of God for today: do your best so that the unity of this team would be preserved. Pride, selfishness, sin are common hindrances in the making of a team. Think about it today and ask yourself this question: are you putting forth the necessary effort to maintain the unity of your church?May God bless you today! Until tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • How to enter your ministry

    Yesterday we started discussing how we can enter our ministry. We established that, first; we need a strong desire to serve. This desire is tied to our understanding of God’s will and the purpose of our salvation. As we talked about, ministry helps us to reveal our potential. Ministry helps us to find out about ourselves, our calling in the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth and doing the works that are pleasing to God. God has predestined for us to do particular good works. God desires for us to be fruitful and glorify Him on earth. Through our ministry God wants to fill this earth with the knowledge of Him and His Kingdom. He wants us to establish His principles in every sphere of life and win people for Him by the ministry we do on earth.
  • Through prayer we invite God to take part in our lives

    God does not come into our lives without being asked. Praying means to invite God to come and help us. It is a realization of the fact that I am weak and there is One Who is stronger than me, Who loves me and cares for me. Prayer is an invitation to the One Who is stronger than me and my circumstances.Do you remember Jairus? We read about him in Mark (5:22-23).

  • Faith without love is not biblical faith!

    If you have faith, but do not have love, then, according to Paul, you are “sounding brass and a clanging cymbal” and you are “nothing”. Faith without love does not work. That is why it is so important to learn to walk in love. Otherwise our hearts won’t be able to go through the last day attacks. Faith will not work without love!What are you going to do when people will hate, persecute and hurt you? Will you get offended and look for the ways to pay them back and do evil? That is the reaction of flesh; that is the reaction of a natural man.
  • Changes through Ministry III

    Ministry helps us to live for others not just for ourselves. When a person has a servant or serving heart, his life is focused on making other people happy instead of waiting on the other people to make him happy. Somebody with such an attitude and life position has no time for depression or for self-pity. His life is rather focused on searching for and helping other people who lives in poorer conditions himself instead of sitting around celebrating self- pity party. The person who understands the purpose of true ministry doesn’t live for himself, but his goal is to love God and to love other people.

While hope always points our attention on the future, it already has auspicious impact on our life nowadays.In order to effectively use hope of salvation as a weapon, we have to undeerstand who we are in this world and how we should you this world.Paul wrote: « … and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away.» (1 Corinthians 7: 31).
