One Accord

PSALMS 13:1 SAYS “BEHOLD, HOW GOOD AND HOW PLEASANT IT IS FOR BRETHREN TO DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY!”

I’M GLAD HE DOES ALL THINGS IN ORDER AND WE OUGHT TO BE LED BY THE SPIRIT. I’M TELLING YOU TODAY THAT THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD OUGHT NOT TO BE FILLED WITH CONFUSION. INSTEAD WE NEED TO BE FILLED WITH JESUS CHRIST.

GALATIANS 3:28 “THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOT GREEK, THERE IS NEITHER BOND NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: FOR YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.”

A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE THAT OUT OF ORDER AND THEY BRING OUT A LOT OF THINGS THAT AREN’T TRUE BUT WHAT PAUL WAS SAYING IS THAT WHEN YOU COME TO GODS HOUSE, FORGET THAT YOU’RE A WOMAN, A MAN, BOND, FREE, FORGET ABOUT THESE EARTHLY THINGS FOR A WHILE AND START THINKING ABOUT GOD. THAT’S WHAT WILL BRING ONE ACCORD IN YOUR LIFE TODAY. I HAVE JESUS CHRIST AS NUMBER ONE!

PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN SIN AND ADULTERY. ALL KINDS OF WICKED THINGS, CURSED WORDS COMING OUT OF THEIR MOUTH, GOING TO THE BARS ON SATURDAY NIGHT. LISTEN TO ME....IF YOU AREN’T IN ONE ACCORD, THEN YOU ARE FILLED WITH CONFUSION. AND GOD’S NOT THE AUTHOR OF IT. IF YOU LOVE GOD, YOU’D LOVE THE HOUSE OF GOD. YOU’D LOVE THE WORD OF GOD, YOU’D LOVE BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND WE COULD HAVE ONE ACCORD.

THESE PEOPLE WERE IN ONE ACCORD. THEY DIDN’T SAY HE HAS THIS AND I DON’T. THEY WEREN’T JEALOUS OF EACH OTHER. GOD DON’T WORK IN JEALOUSY AND PRIDE. GOD WORKS IN PEACE. HE WORKS IN LOVE AND ONE ACCORD. WE NEED ONE ACCORD IN OUR LIVES AND IN OUR CHURCH.

YA’LL REMEMBER MATTHEW 14 AS LONG AS PETER KEPT FOCUSED ON JESUS THE BIBLE SAYS HE WALKED ON THE WATER. BUT WHEN HE TOOK HIS EYES OFF JESUS AND STARTED LOOKING AT THE WAVES, THE BIBLE SAYS HE BEGAN TO SINK. EVERY TIME YOU TAKE YOUR FOCUS OFF OF CHRIST, YOU’LL SINK. I DON’T CARE HOW OLD YOU ARE, HOW YOUNG YOU ARE...IF CHRIST IS NOT THE FOCUS OF YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL FALL. HE’S ABLE TO HOLD US UP. A LOT OF CHRISTIANS HAVE FALLEN AND ARE FAILING GOD. AS A MATTER OF FACT IN MATTHEW 24 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT IN THE LAST DAYS, THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL WAX COLD. IF YOU DON’T HAVE THAT KIND OF LOVE THEN YOU’RE NOT IN ONE ACCORD.

I WANT TO SHARE FOUR THINGS....FOUR WAYS WE CAN BE IN ONE ACCORD WITH EACH OTHER.

JESUS HAS TO BE NUMBER ONE IN OUR LIFE. HOW CAN I HAVE A GOOD FAMILY LIFE IF MY LIFE ISN’T FOCUSED AROUND JESUS CHRIST? I DON’T JUST PASTOR A CHURCH. I’M A CHRISTIAN TOO. I HAVE A CHRISTIAN HOME AND I HAVE TO KEEP GOD FIRST IN IT. IF I DON’T KEEP CHRIST NUMBER ONE THEN I’LL FALL AND MY FAMILY WILL FALL AND EVERY THING I GO TO DO WILL FALL.

NUMBER ONE: WE NEED TO BE IN ONE ACCORD WITH OUR LOVE TO JESUS.

YA’LL REMEMBER JOHN 21 WHERE JESUS ASKED PETER, “PETER, DO YOU LOVE ME?” PETER SAID, “YEA LORD, I LOVE YOU.” AND JESUS SAID, “THEN FEED MY SHEEP.”

CHRIST ASKED HIM AGAIN, “PETER, DO YOU LOVE ME?” AND PETER ANSWERED, “YEA, LORD, I LOVE YOU.” AND JESUS SAID, “THEN FEED MY LAMBS.” THEN JESUS SAID THE THIRD TIME, “PETER, DO YOU LOVE ME?” AND PETER ANSWERED, “YEA, LORD, THOU KNOWEST I LOVE YOU.” AND JESUS SAID THEN FEED MY SHEEP.” YOU ASK WHY DID JESUS ASK PETER THREE TIMES? IF YOU’LL REMEMBER PETER DENIED HIM THREE TIMES. JESUS JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE HE LOVED HIM. HE DIDN’T ASK HIM IF HE LOVED THE CHURCH, HIS BROTHER AND SISTER IN CHRIST...THE ONLY QUESTION JESUS HAS TODAY IS, DO YOU LOVE HIM? IF YOU DON’T LOVE GOD, YOU’RE IN TROUBLE.
