"Any fellowship together in spirit?... Working together with one mind and purpose." (Philippians 2:1,2)
Do you like to reap the fruits of togetherness?
United we stand, divided we fall. Unity is the hallmark of Christianity. Nobody
can stop the united saga of any venture in the material and spiritual world.
Selfishness can ruin all our works. When we work together, caring for others'
problems as if they were our problems, we demonstrate Christ’s example of
putting others first, and we experience unity. Don’t be concerned about making a
good impression or meeting our needs at the cost of straining our relationship
with God.
In the bitter cold winter, a father and his 6 year old daughter went to Rogers
Centre in Toronto to collect tickets for a children’s program. It was half a KM
walk from the main subway to the center. The daughter had not brought her
gloves. Half way through the walk, she couldn’t bear the cold and her dad was
helpless in that situation. So she suggested to her dad, "Dad, why don't we
share your gloves, left hand glove for me and right hand glove for you and we
could hold our hands together, my right hand in your left hand." They did it and
they reached their destination in comfort.
Try the practical common sense of success of togetherness in all walks of life.
Jesus, let the people understand the fruits of
togetherness. Let the force of disunity be defeated always. We pray for the
families and Churches facing the problem of disunity. Save them from
destruction. All we ask in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
