Scripture: Colossians 2:1-15.
Key Verse: “My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.” Colossians 2:2, NIV.
An old man was on his sick bed but sad that his children were not united. He knew that development and progress can only thrive in the atmosphere of peace and unity. He pleaded for unity among them as a request for a prolonged life for him and their mother. The children reconciled and the family lived the rest of their lives in joy and peace.
It is expected of all believers in Jesus Christ to walk, rooted and built up in Him as we have received Him – v.6,7. God bought Christians as His people and by His grace, He enables them to die to, sin, and live in righteousness and unity. Paul showed us that every believer is an individual participant and recipient of the divine grace. All followers of Christ should think, pray and show concern for one another about the prosperity of our souls. We should see that other brethren have a clear and distinct knowledge of the truth of the Gospel. How do you use Your gifts to promote unity where God plants you? A good knowledge of who Christ is makes us agent of peace to our world. Please, promote unity in your family, office, church and society.
Birthday Blessing: “…I will preserve you and give you for a covenant to the people; to restore the earth, to cause them to inherit the desolate heritages.” Isaiah 49:8.
RBT Passage: Psalm 104 – 106.
“Promises may get friends, but it is performance that keeps them.” Owen Felltham.
O! Lord our God, make us agents of unity, at home, church and the society at large; we pray in Jesus Mighty Name – Amen. Sabbath Shalom!
