Together we must work
Genesis 4:9
And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
In the verse above God asked Cain to give information about the whereabouts of his brother. God expects us to be our ” brother’s keeper” We have to look out for the welfare of one another. We need to work together.
Oneness or togetherness is a unique trait of the Godhead (Trinity). In John 17:20-23 , Jesus said
….I pray that they all may be one that the world may see that You have sent me.
When we work and live together, we show that we are truly sons and daughters of the most High God.
No individual or small group of people can spread the gospel to the whole world. We need to strategize together. We should be able to say:
– Church of Ghana reach out to the people in the West of Africa
– Church of Nigeria reach out to people in South of Africa
– Church of Europe reach out to the people in Asia
– Church of the North America reach out to people in South America. etc.
This is just an example. If we plan together, we can reach all the unsaved in a short time
Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works.( Paraphrased)
This verse from the new testament states that apart from spreading the gospel, God also created us for good works.
Take time to consider what good works you can do as an individual and as a church. Will you feed the hungry and homeless? Or provide clothing?
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Pray and ask God for direction on how we can work together as one big church.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song
Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand
Why we pull away from each other
So easily even though
We are walking the same road
Yet we build dividing walls
Between our brother’s and ourselves
But I , I don’t care what label you may wear
If you belong with Jesus You belong with me
So let’s join and sing
You are my brother
You are my sister
So take me by the hand
Together we will work
Until He comes
There is no foe that can defeat us
When we are working side by side
As long as there is love we will stand
Amen
