5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Romans 12:5
Bible Verse Open Heavens Daily Devotional April 2, 2025
1 Corinthians 12:18-27 NLT
[18] But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.
[19] How strange a body would be if it had only one part!
[20] Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.
[21] The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”
[22] In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.
[23] And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen,
[24] while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.
[25] This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other.
[26] If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.
[27] All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.
1 Corinthians 12:18-27
Message Open Heavens Daily Devotional April 2, 2025
I started discussing yesterday about the impact of the day of Pentecost and how Christians must be focused and separated from the world for us to experience such a revival again. Another thing I must point out is that on the day of Pentecost, the disciples were in one accord. If we want to see the power of the Holy Spirit in action, there must be love and unity in the body of Christ, irrespective of denominations.
Psalm 133:1-3 says that God commands a blessing when people are united. He didn’t say that God gives a blessing; it says that he commands a blessing. In other words, he says, “blessing, you must manifest.” When there is genuine love and unity among the members of a church of fellowship, there is absolutely no doubt that every member of that fellowship will be blessed. God’s power will not manifest in a divided church or family.
Unity attracts God’s presence just as sugar attracts ant. Likewise, if a church is full of strife, jealousy and all sorts of canal works, God’s power will be far from that church. Paul had to rebuke the Corinthian church for having factions. While some said that they were for Paul, some claimed that they were for Apollos (1 Corinthians 3:4).
Paul called them canal for their disunity. The body of Christ is one, and if we want to experience God’s power and presence like on the day of Pentecost, we must lay aside our petty differences and focus on the one whose name we bear-Jesus Christ. We cannot attack one another and expect God to dwell among us.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed does ye be not consumed one of another.
Galatians 5:15
In the scripture above, we see that when we live in disunity, we will consume one another. Many believers have injured other members of the body of Christ with their words and actions. We must stop this and live in love and unity so that God’s presence and power can truly be manifested among us. Loving one another and being United is a sure way of showing the world that we are truly Jesus’ disciples (John 13:35). We should not let unbelievers reject the gospel because they do not see love among us Christians.
The body of Christ must unite. Gossiping, backbiting, and unhealthy competition among the denominations must stop if we want to experience a true revival by the Holy Spirit.
Prayer Point Open Heavens Daily Devotional April 2, 2025
