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!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
