TOPIC: PAUL’S WORD TO BELIEVERS. Live In Harmony (4)
MEMORY VERSE:
2 Corinthians 13:11
11 Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
BIBLE READING:
Amos 3:3.
“3. Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”
Today, we shall be looking at the fourth word of Apostle Paul to all believers. Paul said, “Live In Harmony”. First of all, what is Harmony? Harmony is the combination of different personalities, sounds or idea to produce a specific and unique goal. Harmony is submitting your ego, pride, knowledge to work with others in other to achieve a cooperate success. Harmony is based on Agreement, Sacrifice and humility. Harmony is what makes marriages work, it makes ministry move forward, it makes nation united and makes achievement in business easier. To live in harmony simply means accepting other’s ideas without neglecting anyone. Giving room to everyone’s idea in order to achieve cooperate success. This is what Harmony entails.
When Paul was speaking to the Philippians 2:2, He said,
“2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, And Working Together With One Mind And Purpose.” (NLT)
If I may ask, do we really live in harmony? Don’t you want your own ideas to be accepted even it won’t work? Problems in Ministry today is traceable to lack of Harmony. Amos 3:3, said,
“3. Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” This is talking about Harmony, not love. Harmony is the foundation of Love. When harmony is achieved, to love will be easier. Harmony is all about submitting to the best decision not to my decision. Apostle Paul encourages us to live in harmony in other to please God. Living in harmony may seems foolish but the result will be glaring in due time. Marriage can only succeed when the two live in harmony. Believers can make heaven when we live in harmony, submitting to one purpose and not doctrine of the church. Work towards Harmony and we will be making God glad.
Good Day and God bless you.
