Open Heaven Daily Devotional 14 April 2024 TOPIC: In One Accord
MEMORISE:
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” – (Psalm 133:1)
READ: Psalm 133:1-3 (KJV)
OPEN HEAVENS TODAY, APRIL 14, 2024 MESSAGE:
God loves unity; wherever He finds people uniting in His name, He will show up. You can see a good example of this in (2 Chronicles 5:13):
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
In the above passage, as the trumpeters, singers and musicians all sang as one, God’s presence came down like a cloud and filled the temple. God loves it when His children worship Him in one accord. This is why Jesus Christ said in Matthew 18:20, “Where two or three people are gathered in my name, there will I be.” At the upper room in Acts 2, the Bible says that when the people were in one accord, the Holy Spirit filled the room with a sound like a mighty rushing wind. Wherever believers are gathered in unity, God will show up in His glory.
Today’s Bible reading tells us that when brethren come together in unity, it is like the anointing oil that was poured on Aaron’s head which went all the way down to his feet. Do you know what that means? It means that it is only when God’s people are united that the anointing can flow amongst them. Without unity, the corporate anointing will not flow. The reason many churches are not experiencing the power of God amongst them is that they are not united. Where there is gossip, strife and backbiting, don’t expect the power of God to flow. These vices are not of God, and so, God cannot be where they exist.
(1 Corinthians 12:12) says that we are all different parts of one body. If the hand is envious of the eyes and the leg is keeping malice with the head, how can the body function effectively? When we become united in our local assembly and in the body of Christ as a whole, we will see great miracles amongst us that will amaze the whole world. If you are a pastor reading this now, you should ensure that all forms of strife amongst workers and/or members of your local assembly are resolved today.
ACTION POINT:
Call a member of your local assembly and say, “I love you with the love of Christ.”

1 Kings 16-18
