THE POWER OF UNITY

“Two are better than one… If one falls down, his friend can help him up”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Main Text:

I will like to remind everyone of us today of ten things we should always do for one another; these I have mentioned sometime ago but the general state of the nation persuades my move today. With the power of agreement we can live in peace in Nigeria.

i.          Consider one another                          Hebrews 10: 24

ii.         Love one another                                1 Peter 1: 22

iii.        Have compassion for another             1 Peter 3: 8

iv.        Minister your gifts to one another      1 Peter 4: 10

v.         Comfort and edify one another          1 Thessalonians 5: 11

vi.        Serve one another                               Galatians 5: 13

vii.       Submit to one another                         Ephesians 5: 21

viii.      Have peace with one another              Mark 9: 50

ix.        Mourn with one another                     Ezekiel 24: 23

x.         Care for one another                           1 Corinthians 12: 25

God likes it when we live in unity. The Bible says in Matthew 18:18-20 that there is power when two or more pray in agreement. One can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand to flight! Where there are two or more gathered in His name, God is there. And just like Jesus sent the disciples out in twos to fulfill their mission, God will send a friend or partner to come along side you to help you fulfill your life’s mission in this 2018.

You may not see that special friend or partner right now; but remember, you are never alone because you with God, are majority. Why don’t you step out and be that friend that someone needs today. Is there someone in your life that you can reach out to and offer encouragement and support? Can you be that friend that helps someone when they fall? Sometimes a simple phone call or note of encouragement is all it takes. Be willing to support your friends. Get behind their dreams and encourage them to press forward.

Prayer: I ask that You show me ways to be a blessing and encouragement to others
