LOOK around and see...the increasing move of the Holy Spirit bringing about unity in the Body of Christ. In John 17 (our Lord's passionate prayer to His Father) Jesus prayed that we may be one, as He and the Father are one, so the world would believe that the Father sent Jesus for them. Since our Father in Heaven is utmost mindful of showing the world that He sent His Son, we must also be as passionately mindful for the same. Scripture says we should put away all that would cause division and love one another with sincerity of heart. What joy this would be to our Lord. Therefore, let us join with the Holy Spirit of Truth to help bring this about
1- PRAY John 17 and live to eliminate anything in our lives that would hinder our Lord's prayer for unity, sp the world will know Jesus!
2- PRAY with your church or prayer group for Unity and Reconciliation.
3- SHARE your ideas and love with others to increase unity.
In order to have broader vision from God, we must have unity. We have to serve together as the servants of God. Of course there is a risk faced by us when we serve together in unity - when we have to leave our individual interest and give priority to group interest. We must also have a commitment. A big work requires a big place. A big thing can happen if the small or separated things are gathered. Reconciliation between churches is needed to have unity.
Reflection:
Do you want to be His agent of transformation and shaped according to His will?
Commitment:
Just as Isaiah said, “Here I am, send me”, let Your will happen in my life. Be willing to pay the price to live as an agent of transformation.
