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.
Matthew 18:19
The most beautiful sight to behold is two people who are on the same page and work together through love and harmony… The word of God teaches us today that we must unite with other believers in Christ not only to grow but also to unlock the blessings and favor of God upon our lives… There are steps that must be taken in order to see the promises made in this scripture come to pass; the first step is that your desires must be on display and your actions must derive from that desire… You cannot touch and agree with someone if they don’t even know what path of life you have chosen to travel… To get on the same page you must let the person know the book and chapter that you are in… There are so many of us that go to others and ask for prayer; however, we don’t disclose the things which we are dealing with and therefore find ourselves having someone touching and not agreeing… In order to be filled by Christ you must be opened up to him… This is the same thing that applies to the physical church and why it is of the utmost importance that we fellowship with others… Some of the experiences that you have endured through life will not only be a testimony but can also be a teaching moment for others… You can share your experiences (no matter how embarrassing they may be) and possibly save a soul who either is where you were or is about to travel the same path… This is how we touch and agree, we get on one accord, we share our experiences and we look to God for the answers and directives that we need in journeying through this life…
The more people pushing and pressing toward the same goal, the less amount of pressure you feel or energy you have to exert when you are doing it on your own… Growing up I was always told that there is power in numbers… I was also told when searching for something that two sets of eyes are better than one…In today’s focus verse, we are reminded of this same principle… As a child of God, studying the word of God carries high importance; however, just as important is that we surround ourselves with believers in Christ as well… The Bible says that God is love, when we come together as a united body, love pours out from within… In coming together we overlook faults, in coming together we shut off all the gossip, in coming together we put our own agenda to the side and seek the path to better another… Love is the ability to look beyond faults, love is the ability to stop negative talk and love definitely is the ability to focus on the greater good instead of our own current circumstance or situation… All must be on ONE accord. God will not stand to have bickering in the church with everybody trying to fulfill their own agenda. We must first touch and agree, AND THEN it shall be done by our Father in Heaven. The key to this passage is that we must come to a point in our lives where we understand that we all have a different gift or gift(s) and together we comprise the body of Christ… As the bible tells us, we cannot see without the eye, we can’t hear without the ear, we can’t walk without the feet… Let us understand today, that we all are unique in our own way, we aren’t all feet, we aren’t all legs, we aren’t all arms, but together we form one body in Christ… The key is that we must be “together…” and walk together to be the powerful unit we were created to be.
Touch and Agree… That’s the key!!!
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
