1 John 3: 18 says, "Little children, let us not LOVE in WORD or in TONGUE but in DEED & in TRUTH." Meaning we must stand, unite & join together as unto the Lord & do His will. Not just sit on the sideline of life & talk spiritual jargon. Love not in "word" but in "deed." To answer the call to not only DO SOMETHING for Him, but doing it together under & through the structure He has established on earth-His Church!
God is calling His body to stand together! It's when we answer that call that He can fulfill His work & plan for not only our individual lives but His plan for us corporately. And as we join together we have a greater impact on our community. Unity always results in the fulfillment of dreams & blessings. As being in dis-unity always results in strife, misunderstanding & eventually hurt. Thus it will alienate us away from God's purpose & plans for us & His body.
When we all stand together the Kingdom of God advances & the Kingdom of darkness is defeated! I guess if we all truly understood & believed we are in & part of a God's Kingdom on earth then we would stand together. By standing I mean supporting, coming together & moving in unity with one another. To do that would mean we move forward as an unstoppable force, having an impact in & on our homes, our families, our cities & the world. There the blessing of God would be!
Instead we have personal agendas, ulterior motives, selfish lifestyles & earthly Kingdoms that we are building. Each coming apart doing their own thing, their own way, in their own timing. Thus God's Kingdom suffers, where it could be stronger, could be better, could be doing more but due to lack of God's people standing together it is weaker, poorer & doing less. The result of NOT standing together!!
We need to ask ourselves where are we in doing our part in promoting the Kingdom so His will can be done & His will be accomplished on earth. Are we sanding together in deed & in truth or just in word & in tongue? One more time I encourage you to take your place, find your spot, do your part & help advance the greatest cause on the earth today, God's Kingdom. We cannot do that when we don't stand together!
