40 Days of Prayer - Day 28
Day 28: Pursue Church Unity
PRAY
Would you pray today that God will help you be a person of peace in your congregation? Consider praying that God will give you a peace-making, conciliatory spirit to aid your
church as it moves forward toward revival.
Read Psalm 133:1-3
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!”
There are not many things more discouraging, or distasteful, than a heated church business meeting over a trivial issue. At the moment, when tensions are high and voices are raised, the ugly side of the church comes out. One of Satan's tactics is the discourage, distract and disunify the body of Christ.
In the local church, we have an obligation to live at peace with one another. We may not be best friends with everyone in the body but we should have a genuine love and concern for each other. We should put aside judgements, preconceived notions and any conflict. We should do our best to be a team player and be involved in the ministries and life of the church in a unified manner.
Consider the beauty and pleasing atmosphere created in the vision described in Psalm 133. When a congregation is unified around knowing and serving God in the fulfillment of His purpose and vision for the church it is a beautiful thing. Not only is God pleased with appropriate church unity, but also the people of God are pleased and enabled to experience more of the power of the Holy Spirit in their work for the Lord.
In what ways are you seeking to promote unity in your church? Are your words full of love and grace or judgement and gossip? And is there anyone in your church family with whom you need to seek Christian reconciliation?
