This note is for anyone, but it is really intended for my brotha's out there. Of course females are not obligated from reading this or being apart of this (I thank God for you all lol), but when I was writing this I really had the bro's in mind.
I was so strongly encouraged by this, that I HAD to write about this! I was reading Ephesians chapter 4, great chapter talking about unity within the body of Christ. Within in this unity I began to realize a much bigger spectrum about God's purpose/agenda. I would greatly encourage you all to take a look at Ephesians 4, but mainly look at 4:7-16. The message I got out of those passages will only make sense if you read them. I realized after reading these passages that God chooses to surround us with people who are different from us because He knows it will promote His purpose.
Verse 10 says, "He who descended (to earth) is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe." After reading the full context of these passages (4:7-16) I began to see how it can apply in my own life and interactions. For example, college, workplace, everyday interactions, etc. Therefore, in accordance with the theme of unity and being surrounded by people who are diverse from us, I began to think: What great things could God do to those who are fully committed to Him? 2 Chronicles 16:9 (NLT),"The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him..." With Ephesians and 2 Chronicles in mind, lets obtain and maintain a "New Year's" Resolution. Let's be unified, keeping eachother accountable, prayng for each other...let us truly impact those around us! This is no call for perfection, we all fall short but remember we do not have to be perfect in order to commit. SO May we Guard His Glory, and show His Glory SO that the body of Christ may be Built UP!....Are "yaw' ll" in??
