- How Christians, the Body of Christ, should function together in todays world.
"Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Mat 18:18-20)
# Agreement.
Coming to an agreement with the people of the world is now a very difficult if not impossible thing today. Nations are against nations for the lack of this very valuable virtue. People are killing each other for the lack of the ability to understand each other in other to agree. "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." (Mar 3:25), because envying, strife, jealousy, etc; are deeply rooted anywhere mutual or corporate understanding is lacking.
So, how then should a Christian do business?
A very good example can be found in Gen 11:1-9, where we have the first record of perfect agreement in the world (without God)..."And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech." They were all in one accord with each other, and are able to put their minds together (very powerful imaginative ability: like super-human computer), in becoming one with the whole of their hearts. "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
What is the LORD saying to His people today:
"My people are one with the Word (one language), and whatever they can imagine together and then begin to do CANNOT be restrained."
# Fellowship or Partnership.
In the world of business we call it partnership, in the church we call it fellowship.
If this is your year of greatness, you must find partners to fellowship with IN the name of Jesus Christ, our LORD, and as touching anything (Family, Finance, Career, Health, etc) with the full understanding that ALL that we shall ask together WILL BE DONE by our Father in heaven. And if you choose not to have fellowship with other brethren, you've decided to work against the LORD. And here's what the LORD did to the world at Babel:
"Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." (Gen 11:7)... they were all scattered all over the earth. I pray you will not have any cause to provoke the LORD into scattering all works of your hands, amen.
