I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. – Matthew 18:19(NLT)
WHEN TWO AGREE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When two people agree when you ask God
He will approve it and anoint your plan
One of the causes why we won’t succeed
Is when we are alone in what we seek.
However, there is power in agreement
In division, you will find disappointments
When two or three are gathered in his name
There, you’ll find amongst you God’s presence.

Ecclesiastes 4 9-16 explains to us why two is better than one. The following reasons are stated in this book of the bible. First, it says that they have a good return for their labor. If one falls down, the other can help but if they are alone, no one is there to give them aide. These verses further give us the benefit of two better than one. They can keep each other warm while you can do that when you are alone. They can also defend themselves better if they are more than one. Like a chord of three strands, it has more strength.
The same thing when you have someone to agree with you when you ask the Lord for anything. If you look back at the Old Testament stories, they emphasized so much on agreements and covenants.

PRAYER
Lord, help me to remember to bring someone in agreement with anything I ask from you.
REFLECTION
Why do you think agreement is a requisite for answered requests?
