Matt. 18:18-20 “Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall
bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say
unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that
they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together
in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
It is important to know the power that is involved in coming
together to do things, in the congregation of the house of God. When we come
together to permit or agree on something it shall be done. Amongst other things
it also shortens the time of waiting for manifestation. What does it mean to
agree? It means to be
as one, especially regarding a matter of opinion.
I Cor.1:10 “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no
divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind
and in the same judgment.”
When people do not agree what happens?
Matt. 12:25 “And knowing their thoughts, He said to them,
any kingdom that is divided against itself is being brought to desolation and
laid waste and no city or house divided against itself will last or continue to
stand” (Amp.)
The effects of disagreement, strife and the likes of them
are not instant but gradual, when there is no agreement in a house, then it is
like nothing has been accomplished.
James 3:16 “For where envying and strife is, there is
confusion and every evil work. But the
wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be
intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without
hypocrisy.”
There is need for adjustment in order to come into harmony
or agreement. One of the ways to know that an opinion is from above is when it
is peaceable and easily adjusted.
Deut. 32:30 “How should one chase a thousand, and two put
ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut
them up?
When you have someone who agrees with you, you should use it
to your advantage because it makes things easier but if you find yourself in an
environment of disagreement, move out of it so as not to hinder what God wants
to do in your life.
Eccl.4:9 “Two are better than one; because they have a good
reward for their labour.”
Vs.12 “…And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand
him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
When two people come together concerning a matter, it gets
accomplished faster. In marriages especially, husband and wife should make use
of the privilege that comes from being together to agree concerning a matter,
because together they will get a better and faster result. Living in an atmosphere
of disagreement and strife will hinder your faith. Don’t permit such atmosphere
around you. Get it out or you get out of it.
