Children of God – Day 29

Malachi 4:6

He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.

The Thought

Today I feel it is important to go back to the verse that prompted this study, and apply it to church families.

All over the world churches have given birth to daughter churches, and that is what God intended. Many other churches have been started by division or disagreement.

In our day, the Lord wants to heal the scars. Jesus is returning for one Bride, for one united church. We need to repent of any division we have had even the smallest part in, and bless other churches in all the good things they do.

As I write this study for next month, it is the end of February 2023, and much of the Christian world is talking about the new wave of revival which has begun in Asbury, Kentucky, USA. Many of us are excited about what God is doing, and are pleased that it is simply university students who began to seek more of The Lord. There are no big names, no preachers of world renown, no well known worship leaders. Just people longing for more of God. God responded. And the news spread!

But sadly there are some reports of criticism because people from every denomination are being blessed. Those who think their style of worship is the only right one are denying that it is from God. How sad!

Action

Pray today for a spirit of repentance to fall on churches started by division or rebellion.

We need to pray for the Lord to purify His church. Pray for unity between the churches in your area.

Praise God that He is building His church. Praise Him that Jesus will have one united Bride. Pray that you and your church will be a part of that.
