"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
Ephesians 4 :1-6 (New King James Version)
This is something that the Lord has been teaching me more and more about over the past few months.... And its been a terrific learning process. The Body of Christ - The Church - which comprises of each of us has gotten so divided over the past decades.... I am so confused in the doctrine differences between each..... We need to realize that there are no man made rules that should interfere with the Biblical Truths of the Word of God. With the Bible as our guide , we need to join together in unity and pray for our cities, for our states , for our country , for the countries across the world....
We who believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour and is the only way , the truth and the life,....we need to be bonded with the love of Christ and battle the evil one together.
Sometimes we try to defend our denomnation as more superior or righteous over the other.... and we tend to forget something basic as what we read in Isaiah 64:4 "But we are all like an unclean thing,And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf,And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away"
It would be interesting to see if someone can stand up and say "I am righteous." ! ..... Our God is such an awesome Holy God....Lets not let the divisions weaken the body of Christ.....
The Bible says in Psalm 9:10 that the Lord will never forsake those that seek Him and those who know His Name, put their trust in Him . Praise the Lord !! The Lord is forever faithful....however we become so judgemental at times !
May the bonds of Christ unite us together that we may reach out to the heavens in one accord and change earth for His Glory.
"We will seek Your face Almighty God
Turn and pray for You to heal our land
Father let revival start in us
Then every heart will know Your kingdom come
Lifting up the Name of the Lord
In power and in unity
We will see the nations turn
Touching heaven changing earth"
