One Body In Christ, The Church of Jesus Christ, In Unity

1 Cor 12:12-13
12The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.


God wanted the Body of Christ to be one. Paul speaks against division with the Body of Christ. This means within the same church, but also just as important, for all His people, because we are all called by the Spirit to be one, in one, through Christ Jesus.

Sometimes there is a feeling of division between Christians, that one goes to one church, and another goes to another, but we are all of the same Body of Christ, which God has called us to. We are all brothers and sisters in the Lord, and with one calling and one goal, we are one in Christ.

Father God, I pray against division of your Church, Your Body of Christ. I pray for unity in your people, that we may be one in Spirit. Let your will be done, and have you hand upon your people, to do the good works that you have called us for. I pray for a Spirit of Unity, especially here in Hawaii, as I can see your hand just blessing it and covering with your Body of Christ. I pray that you continue to have your Spirit upon it, and bless it. I declare that THIS is your generation, your people, who love and adore you, and be movers and shakers of your will. Be to you all the glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
