“ON ONE ACCORD” AND COMPREHEND

1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

ac·cord –  Agreement; harmony of minds; consent or concurrence of opinions or wills. They all continued with one accord in prayer. Acts, 1..

com·pre·hend – to understand the nature or meaning of; grasp with the mind; perceive:

“As the disciples waited for the fulfillment of the promise, they humbled their hearts in true repentance and confessed their unbelief. They prayed with intense earnestness for a fitness to meet men and in their daily intercourse to speak words that would lead sinners to Christ. Putting away all differences, all desire for the supremacy, they came close together in Christian fellowship. These days of preparation were days of deep heart searching. The disciples felt their spiritual need and cried to the Lord for the holy function that was to fit them for the work of soul saving. They did not ask for a blessing for themselves merely. They were weighted with the burden of the salvation of souls. They realized that the gospel was to be carried to the world, and they claimed the power that Christ had promised.” ( E. G.White)

As Follower’s of Christ we must daily ask our Savior to complete our praise, and glory in Him, and for Him, by allowing our mind and body to be “ON ONE ACCORD” with His, as we love as He loves, while constantly seeking a true focal point, or main source of His power, while through the sovereignty of His Holy Spirit all believers will be united through the body of Christ who are TRULY SEEKING HIS PRESENCE”.

Matthew 18:19 says “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, and it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” and through this Spirit filled body of saints the world will be convinced that there is a living God who gave His ONE AND ONLY SON who walked “The Via Dolorosa, road from the place of Pontius Pilate’s sentencing, to Golgotha, The “way of sorrows.”

Where He Hung on a cruel cross so that we may all who through his grace who are “ON ONE ACCORD” may COMPREHEND as we all FOCUS ON HIS WORD, LOVE, FAITH, and ENDURANCE. While COMPREHENDING these spiritual attributes that allowed the FATHER AND SON TO be “ON ONE ACCORD” as the plan of salvation was planned and implemented for all mankind through their love in the preparation for His Son’s and Daughters to enter His pure and holy kingdom and receive ETERNAL LIFE.

1 John 3:1-2 tells us For “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” And this will only happen, if through individual faith and commitment, all are “ON ONE ACCORD”

John 17:20-26 says “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

Romans 12:4-6 also says “For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individual members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the face that is given to us, let us use them; if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith.” So these text tell me that “ON ONE ACCORD can only be revalant to Christ in situations where the power of one does not defeat the lesser power of others.

Genuine unity is sustained in a spirit of humility, and love, in acknowledging each individual’s differences and joining together shared visions, and goals, that leads to finishing God’s commission. In Matthew 24:14 it states “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” once our focus stays on finishing God’s work here on earth then the unity we have in Christ with other’s becomes a gift of God’s Holy Spirit.

Joel 2:28-29 says “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.” while announcing the good news of Christ soon return. And once the Holy Spirit finds its way to each individual, energizes of new potentials that benefit everyone, will be revealed to God’s glory and honor.

So our mission statement as one. Must be a mission statement for all. As we reach a world, in the final day’s of this life’s history. In John 12:32 it tells us, And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people, and communities to myself.” as we all become open minded, just, and inclusive to everyone. each having An upper room, experience as we become “ON ONE ACCORD” while SPREADING the good news to a sinful and imoral world as we prepare for Christ soon coming.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
