Hi guys, i had a revelation just now in Cell Group about unity.
I didn't share it in CG because i felt that i can express it better over here on the blog, and it seems many of you all read it. It'll be a better channel because you can read it over and over again rather than listening to it once and then (possibly) forgetting it again.
What i got was Unity.
This is something that you might seem as hard to come by. Yea, there's unity between a few people, or different cliques, different groups. But as a WHOLE, it's hard to find. It's not easy having true unity. Like Tiff's favourite verse:
Eph4:16 (NLT)
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
It is so true, that every single one plays a part, every single one does make a difference in every other person's life because we are inter-dependent creatures. We need each other to survive. Yes, we need God. But God has also put other people in our lives so that we can co-inhibit (SP?)
Ps133:1 (NIV)
How good and pleasant it is when brothers (and sisters) live together in unity!
- bolded is my own addition :)
Even David says so. Think about it, imagine if all of us, hold hands, and move together in spirit and in the natural, and we run together. Even if someone trips, the other 2 beside the person will naturally pull him/her up and continue running right? It is easier to go against 1, than to go against 18. Imagine if we put our differences aside, and have good strong bonds, a strong united cell group. WOW what power it would be!
Romans15:5 (NIV)
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus,
Col3:14 (NIV)
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
You might think it's probably kinda easy. But if you get a teeny weeny bit irritated by someone, or by something someone does, and you think just a small lil bad thought, you are more or less jeopardising your relationship with the person, and also sowing a small little discord between the friendship and unity. Even though you ultimately forgive the person and forget it, you tend to remember that small little bit when you talk to the person.
Anyway, when there is UNITY, there's QUALITY. Talk about evangelism? You gotta have the inner QUALITY, before God will send you the QUANTITY, because He must make sure you're able to take care of the QUANTITY that He entrusts you. Would you give something that's precious to you to people that you're not sure if they could look after it? Doubt so.
With your quality, definitely quantity will come, friends will come, souls will get saved. Starts off with you asking and reaching out, because if you don't, they won't get to see our quality right? Thus, let's all work together towards UNITY and QUALITY in this WONDERFUL cell group!
Hee, hope you got blessed, and maybe a revelation too. xD
