April 6 The Power of God’s Word
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. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there amongst them. – Matthew 18:19-20 (NLT)
THE POWER OF AGREEMENT
A poem by ILMA
When making requests and formulating blessings
Two or three who agree will be echoing
Agreement between believers
It guarantees a reply from God much sooner.
Do not take for granted the power of agreement
It brings positive results and gets you out of confinement
Jesus promised his presence where believers gather
He especially grants grace and mercy to all faithful followers.
When we get into a business relationship with someone or get married, we usually sign a contract or an agreement. The agreement signifies the boundaries that need to be executed in order to have a thriving business or marriage. The moment someone breaches the contract, the relationship is at risk.
The bible tells us that agreement between two or three followers of Christ will bear power over things they agree upon. Notice that it did not say one, but two or three. I am sure God will be there if you ask alone, but if there is more than one person, God is present. Each request in his name is granted.
PRAYER
Lord, let me pray with other believers.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God wants us to gather together and agree?
