Healing our land requires unity among God’s people Part 2


PRAY FOR HAITI DAY 38
GLOBAL PRAYER INITIATIVE OF HAITIAN CHURCHES

Theme Verse 2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Eph 4:2-3 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. For unity to be present in our midst we must lay the foundation for it. First we need humility. Phil 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. When we begin to put our own personal agenda aside; when we stop looking to take credit for the work being done; when we (the foreigners & Diasporas) don’t act like we have all of the answers and when we consider others better than ourselves, unity will begin to make its abode among us. Humility is the foundation unity is built on. Second, we must be gentle with each other. God’s people are from different denomination, different cultures and different languages therefore, we will disagree in many areas however; we are required to work together. Being gentle with each other will soothe the jagged edges of our differences and allow us to work together.

PRAY: As the Churches seek to work together, ask the Lord to give them a humble and gentle spirit,

ACT: Practice humility and gentleness with those who may be different from you.
