  PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH’S FAMILY James 3:13-18 Devotional:- “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace” (V. 18) Understanding that the second purpose of God for man is to belong to the church family, there is therefore a strong need for you to protect the unity of your church. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than the church because he paid the highest price for it and He wants to protect it. For you to be able to protect the unity of your church, you need to focus on what you have in common and not your differences (Rom 14:19). God wants unity and not uniformity. God made our differences and that should be respected. We must not let our differences divide us. To protect the unity of your church you must be realistic in your expectations from people.

RIGHT COMPANY

Scripture Reading: Act 4:18-31
Devotional:- “And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them” (V. 23)

  Another beautiful avenue for us to receive the seed of encouragement is by been in the right Company. A company is a group of people you regularly fellowship with. But it becomes a right one when they value celebrate you and among them they always share the words that encourages each other. The company is right because the people there are godly and wisdom focused. In such places, they shared the truth of the word of God and can be supported and corrected when necessary.

The disciples of Jesus were discouraged by the leaders of their nation. They were threatened not to carry out their ministry anymore (Act 4:14-18). But when they returned to their company, they were encouraged.

Friend, stop living alone. You cannot be strong enough to face life alone (Ecclesiastics 4:9-12). You need an encouragement group among the children of God. And coming together will encourage you (Proverb 13:20). They will share with you sincerely and pray with you. This people does not have to be coming to your house regularly or you go to theirs. The purpose is not for material things basically but mutual benefit. God will always position such around you. Be humble to welcome them. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to find my right company
