TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When two people are beside each other
They can easily agree and consider
When two people walk together
They become united and stronger.
Two is better than one
Care for another human
You were made for another
Be with others and don’t be a loner.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 states the benefits of being with someone. It says that two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing along can be attacked and defeated, but tow can stand back to back and conquer. Three are even better for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. God wants us to fellowship or be with others and not isolate ourselves. Proverbs 18:1 cautions us about isolation because it doesn’t make us make sound judgments. Isolation also opens the door for the enemy to throw lies to you and tempt you to sin since you don’t have to be accountable for anyone.
In the book of Amos, we see that two people cannot walk together unless they agree which direction to go.

AGREEMENT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you give honor to your relations?
Do you consider their opinions?
Can two people walk together without agreeing where?
Without agreement, conflict will arise between each other.
Agreement is vital for harmony to transpire
It is also important so that you can abide
When you agree with someone about anything
You will be able to overcome all things and win.

My old life was infested with conflicts and chaos. I didn’t understand for a long time why I thrived in turmoil. In fact, it became so second nature to me to argue and make my point heard. It probably was a result of not being respected and listened to as I was growing up. The enemy had so much clout on me that created a clash with those I have relations with. I was seeking approval and wanted to convince almost everyone that I have worth and that I deserve to be loved. It destroyed many of my relationships and kept me isolated and guarded.
The bible tells us the importance of agreement in our lives. God spoke to Israel through the prophet Amos in chapter three and told them how Israel have chosen to be astray. He stressed the importance of agreeing with his plans for them. By going against God’s commands, they will have no victory.
PRAYER
Lord, show me how to agree with you.
REFLECTION
How can agreement resolve conflicts in relationships?
