Unity among God's Children

Christology: Jesus, the prayerful Son of God

When Jesus Christ was in the world He was so prayerful that prayer was more-or-less like food to him. He could not stay without praying. He was always communicating to God, His Father through prayer. In the gospel of John 17: lib-19 our Lord Jesus Christ offered his priestly prayer: "At that time: [Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying,] “Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves." 
This is the most powerful prayer in the bible. In this prayer our Lord Jesus Christ was not just praying for his selfish interest. He prayed for the interest and well-being of his followers. He actually prayed for the unity of his followers - that they may be one!
With this prayer our Lord Jesus Christ has taught us the importance of intercessory prayer. In prayer we must not just pray for our selfish interest but also for the wellbeing of others. 
 This prayer for unity is the only solution to all the problems we are facing in our world today. The world is facing all kinds of discrimination and disunity. We have political discrimination, cultural and tribal discrimination, worst of them all is religious discrimination. Even the Christians are not united! There is division and discrimination among the various denominations in the Christendom. Have you ever imagined how this world be if all the Christians are united! Like the early apostles, nobody will lack anything. The world will be a wonderful place! That is the reason why we must take this prayer of our Lord Jesus Christ seriously. May God deliver us from all forms of divisions and discrimination through Christ our Lord - Amen!

Inspirational Message:  One can only give what He has. Jesus was able to pray for the unity of his followers because He enjoyed unity with God, his Father and God the Holy Spirit.

·        Children of God can only succeed when they are united

Prayer for the unity of God's Children: Heavenly Father, King of heaven and earth, the Creator that was not created. Everybody and everything in this world were created by you.  Lord,  our world is in a mess due to disunity and discrimination.  You are the only One that can unite our broken world and broken relationships. Lord, make us one as you are one and may we remain united in you both now and forevermore - Amen!

Prophetic Message:  You are Divinely Chosen

To be chosen either by God or even by human beings is a special favour. No all those who apply for admission are admitted. Not all those who aspire for position are elected. Not all those who apply for admission into priesthood or ministerial services are chosen. Many are called but few are chosen. This was exactly the case among the early apostles in Acts  l:15-26when they wanted to replace Judas, "...they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was sumamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, “Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place.” And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles." Child of God, do you know that you are among the few chosen ones? Indeed, you are lucky to be chosen by the Most High God. As long as God has chosen you, you are blessed and it shall be well with you in Jesus name - Amen!
