Unity

“Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” Psalms 133:1 ESV 

Unity is an important element for the advancement of God’s Kingdom in the earth and the fulfillment of His purpose among believers. Where Godly unity exists is where He commands the blessing, “It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.” Psalms 133:3 ESV. 

Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane as recorded in John 17 for unity among His disciples. His prayer was also for those who would believe in Him through their word which includes us. He prayed that we would be with one with each other as He is one with the Father. Such unity has an incredible impact upon the world which testifies of Jesus and cannot be achieved without God’s involvement. if there is no unity there is no power to accomplish His plan. Unity unleashes supernatural power.

Jesus prayed this crucial prayer for us… “That they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” John 17:20-23 ESV. This oneness Jesus addresses is speaking of a unifying effect in our lives that makes us a part of His family. The world is waiting to see unity among believers, a unity that makes us one with Jesus Christ and the Father.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we ask that you fulfill Jesus prayer in us for our generation as you did in the early church, in Jesus Name.

"Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul… 33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.” Acts 4:32-33 ESV
