Agreement

An agreement is an understanding between entities to follow a specific course of conduct or a state whereby several parties share a view or opinion; the state of not contradicting one another.

Can two walk together except they be agreed? (Amos 3:3KJV)

Agreeing with someone is not just coming to a conclusion with words, doing something together, or aiming at the same goal. It is a harmony of opinion, action or character Don't get me wrong. These are parts of being in agreement, but not the totality of it.

It's walking through a path together to get to a destination and this often happens in realms that are unseen by human eyes, but the impact is known and tangible. It can end up having the same speech and goal, but the journey is more important for effectiveness.



Taking a good look at the life of Christ here on Earth. He had twelve (12) disciples, who became friends, family, and then carriers of His Vision–the reign of the Lord's Kingdom on Earth.

But before they could become anything affiliated with the Christ, they had a common ground — a change in government. On that basis or premise, they could come into agreement and say, "Okay Christ, let's do this" (in modern mission tone).

So, the reason for the agreement is that it's easier to work and produce results with someone who is in agreement with you. One shall chase a thousand, but with two that are in agreement, they can put ten thousand to flight. 

You both have the same basis on a matter. There is a knotting point that connects all the points and then moves you from just being in the same flow to exploring strengths and filling up weaknesses. Finding that point that bond is highly important in having an agreement with anybody.

"By your­self you're unpro­tected. With a friend, you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn't eas­ily snapped." (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

Agreement gives you security. You'll be safe that God has your back and He has placed people in your life that you have to agree with to be your covering, bond, and defense.

Productivity is easier from the standpoint of agreement. Remember the story of David and Jonathan (starting from 1st Samuel 18-23)? Building from there is easier and reaching a destination is faster and efficient. So, you need someone to work and walk with, but before you start, make sure you are on the same page on all grounds–spiritually, mentally, and physically. 

Shalom!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
