The word for today is - Unity!

Good morning,
The word for today is - Unity!
 
Let's look at Psalm 133:1,Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Did you get that? this is pleasant to God ( enjoyment or satisfaction).. Who or what is the body of Christ? The body of Christ is the believers, made up of all those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Each believer then, is a part of the body of Christ. The Body of Christ, like all bodies, is comprised of many parts and various members that, when left alone, are useless. That is why the word tells us in Ephesians 4:11-13, And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: (to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up),Till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ . Read 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 describe it like this: For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body:so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many, (a unit though it is made up of many parts they form one body). Every believer possesses a gift and is called to use it in service within the body to build up the body of Christ, to strengthen the body and to carry out its purpose within the world. Are you contributing to peace and unity within the body? We are called to promote truth and unity read Ephesians 4:25, Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour:  for we are all members one of another. Let's read  Philippians 2:2, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. This is the order for us ! This is the plan of God, read 2 Corinthians 13:11,Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.This makes it complete ! Thank you God for your word. Amen !
