1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

3. As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 DECEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

In our devotional today, we will consider the blessings of unity, which have been identified in the Scriptures Ito include joy, peace, and progress.

When you go through the Bible reading of today, you will observe the Psalmist lamenting, almost in despair. Perhaps this was so because he had seen how elusive unity was among the brethren, even in his time.

Today, despite the fact that we say united we stand; divided we fall in words, sing it in songs and rehearse it in poems, there are still divisions among us.

Sadly, this is also the case among believers who should be the leading lights for this dark world. This is the reason joy, peace and progress have eluded so many believers today.

This is why, as a Church, we have not been able to accomplish the Great Commission as effectively as we desire.

How can two missionaries commissioned by the same organisation to the same field of operation not be united? Sadly, this is the state of the Body of Christ in many places today. Believers now fall prey to the enemy, becoming casualties of this disunity.

If the Body of Christ can work together in unity, todays Bible reading says our blessings are guaranteed. The subject of unity is so important that our Lord Jesus Christ spent time praying about it in Johns gospel.

John 17:21, John 17:26 “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me…And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

The absence of love is a major cause of disunity. Jesus however, has prayed about this too. We see that in todays memory verse.

Beloved, let us begin to work towards the fulfilment of our Lords prayer, so that the Church can make headway in our missionary and evangelistic endeavours. Let us love – not in words alone, but also in deed.

This way, we will maintain unity. May the Lord help us all as believers to live together in harmony and work in unity, in the mighty name of Jesus.
 
OPEN HEAVEN 8 DECEMBER 2021 PRAYER POINT

Father, please let love – Your love, fill the hearts of all Your children and unite us all, in the mighty name of Jesus.

OPEN HEAVEN 8 DECEMBER 2021 HYMN:

IN CHRIST ALONE MY HOPE IS FOUND

1. In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

3. There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here, in the power of Christ, I stand.

Shalom!
