There's something special about Maureen and Ray. Every time I'm around them, I feel it. Wait…I know what it is. It's so rare. It's their unity in Christ. Every time they do something, God gives them success! I don't know many couples that exhibit this unity. Satan is always working to keep couples on different pages, because he knows what unity does!" Diane exclaimed. Maureen and Ray are an extremely Godly couple that work in ministry and have been glorifying God together for over 25 years. Watching them together testifies to God's love and powerand creates a desire within whoever's watching to possess what they've got.
In the scripture today from Chronicles 30: 12, it said, "Also in Judah the hand of God was on the people to give them unity of mind to carry out what the king and his officials had ordered, following the word of the Lord." In this verse, God brought the people together in unity, so that His will would be carried out. God wants all of His children to be unified as He, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are unified.
Unity displays God's love and His perfect will. In Romans 15:5-7 it says, "5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." We bring praise to our Father in Heaven when the body of Christ is united as husband and wives, families, as well as sisters and brothers in Christ. Unity in Christ is more powerful than we could ever fathom.
Lord, we ask that You would be in us as You were in Jesus. We pray that You would bring us into complete unity to let the world know that You sent Jesus and have loved us even as You have loved Jesus. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that all of us agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among us and that we may be perfectly united in mind and thought. In Jesus name, we pray, Amen.
