UNITY OF THE CHURCH

The unity of the Church is so important and precious to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the state where the Church can harness the power of oneness to reach her goals. Individualism isn’t necessarily division, instead Selfishness engenders disunity. The place of corporate anointing cannot be overemphasize as there is need for synergy amongst all.
In John 17:21, John prayed a profound prayer to God concerning the unity of the Church or the brethren. He says; “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.”
The unity of the Church should not be compromised by selfish and personal ambitions of church leaders. The disunity of the body of Christ at this moment puts a clog in the progress of the kingdom gospel. The acceptability of the Word is reliant on the unity of the body of Christ. That verse says; “…that the world may believe…”
The Church at this time must understand and do all she can to foster unity in the body; bearing in mind the power of oneness. The unity of the Church must not be relegated to the background, no matter what it will cost.
Acts 2:1-3 gives us a vivid picture of what unity can bring to the body of Christ. “And when the day Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord (unity, agreement) in one place.
The two verses that follows reveals the power, the glory and blessing that accompanies oneness. The much anticipated revival may be a thing to wait for in a long time as long as we continue in this game of division; where competition and apathy are the order of the day. The move of the Holy Spirit can only be provoked by a selfless, loving, and indivisible Church.
Psalms 133:1-3, 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 garment. 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.
1. It is a good and pleasant thing to be united
2. It is I valuable (Precious ointment); anointing of the Godhead that flows to the body
3. It brings freshness and revival ( the dew brings revival to the plants). The Church is the planting of the Lord and also the mountains of Zion
4. Release of blessings (healing, deliverance, financial prosperity, etc)
The pride of the Church should be her unity. Jesus’ prayer reveals the secret of his success; which is undoubtedly traceable to the unity of the Trinity (Godhead). “can two work together except they be agreed?” Amos 3:3.

ACCESSING YOUR FINANCIAL PROSPERITY: Introduction 1

Over the ages, the need for man to get himself out of lack and poverty has increased. Many people have worked hard to break out of the clutches of financial ruin and bondage. There is no less truth that;  “money is a defense.”
So many people live their lives in a rat race in the chase for final freedom, but very few out of the lot make it through in one piece. So many more people are confused and anxious about their present financial state and future. There are many more cases of suicides and attempted suicide cases all over the place. Depression is on the increase, families are separated, and marriages collapsing. What really is the problem? Is there solution? Hmmm! The truth is that there are no problems without solutions. The presence of problem is the opportunity to grow.
Have you ever sat down and think in this direction? That in this world we find the Rich and the in the same sphere? That everyone has the opportunity on earth? Then why do we have the Rich and the poor? We are all exposed to the same weather, same market, same natural resources, but yet the gap seems unbridgeable.
Reaching your financial goal is like reaching any other goals in life. People set marital goals, educational, and so on. Every intention we have must follow a direction; which are more like principles or paths that would lead to our desires. Life and its contents thrives on rules. There are physical rules and spiritual rules that govern the financial freedom, and in this series, we shall be looking into some of those principles or rules.
