IN ONE ACCORD

Memorise:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! .. Psalm 133: 1

Read:
Psalm 133: 1-3

Message

God loves unity; wherever He finds people uniting in His name, He will show up. You can see a good example of this in 2 Chronicles 5:13:

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

In the above passage, as the trumpeters, singers and musicians all sang as one, God's presence came down like a cloud and filled the temple. God loves it when His children worship Him in one accord. This is why Jesus Christ said in Matthew 18: 20, "Where two or three people are gathered in my name, there will I be. " At the upper room in Acts 2, the Bible says that when the people were in one accord, the Holy Spirit filled the room with a sound like a mighty rushing wind. Wherever believers are gathered in unity, God will show up in His glory.

Today's Bible reading tells us that when brethren come together in unity, it is like the anointing oil that was poured on Aaron's head which went all the way down to his feet. Do you know what that means? It means that it is only when God's people are united that the anointing can flow amongst them. Without unity, the corporate anointing will not flow. The reason many churches are not experiencing the power of God amongst them is that they are not United. Where there is gossip, strife and backbiting, don't expect the power of God to flow. These vices are not of God, and so, God cannot be where they exist.

I Corinthians 12: 12 says that we are all different parts of one body. If the hand is envious of the eyes and the leg is keeping malice with the head, how can the body function effectively? When we become united in our local assembly and in the body of Christ as a whole, we will see great miracles amongst us that will amaze the whole world. If you are a pastor reading this now, you should ensure that all forms of strife amongst workers and/or members of your local assembly are resolved today.

Bible In One Year:
1 Kings 16-18

Hymn:
When We Walk With The Lord

Action Point:
Call a member of your local assembly and say, "I love you with the love of Christ."

King James Version

Psalm 133: 1-3

A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! [2] It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; [3] As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
RCCG Hymn

When we walk with the Lord

  1. When we walk with the Lord, In the light of His word,
    What a glory He sheds on our way!
    While we do His good will
    He abides with us still.
    And with all who will trust and obey.

    2. Trust and obey!
    For there's no other way
    To be happy in Jesus,
    But to trust and obey.


  2. Not a shadow can rise.
    Not a cloud in the skies.
    But His smile quickly drives it away;
    Not a doubt nor a fear,
    Not a sigh nor a tear,
    Can abide while we trust and obey.
  3. Not a burden we bear.
    Not a sorrow we share
    But our toil He doth richly repay;
    Not a grief nor a loss,
    Not a frown nor a cross.
    But is blest if we trust and obey
  4. But we never can prove
    The delights of His love,
    Until all on the altar we lay.
    For the favour He shows
    And the joy He bestows
    Are for them who will trust and obey.
  5. Then in fellowship sweet
    We will sit at His feet.
    Or we'll walk by His side in the way.
    What He says we will do,
    Where He sends we will go.
    Never fear, only trust and obey.
