DAILY DEVOTION

SEEK DAILY (NBC)
Sunday, June 29
1 Corinthians 1:10-17

AGREEMENT WITHOUT DIVISIONS
...That you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you.... 1 Corinthians 1:10, KJV

Today's devotion is a call to harmony within the body of Christ and an emphasis on the need to do away with all that can bring discord. God has positioned specific individuals within the church to serve as agents through whom His blessings are communicated to His people.

Many times, our human natures are demonstrated when we show loyalty to one of these and relegate the other. We take sides with the vessels God uses and overlook the Source of the grace itself.

While God is not against our giving appropriate honour to credible leaders, we must be careful not to allow dividing spirit gain a foothold in God's assembly. When the unity of the church is tampered with, the free move of God may not be guaranteed.

Paul rebuked attitudes like this among the Corinthians. This is reflecting among us today. Christ must be exalted and rated over and above all in the church so that the glory would be His alone.

Have you observed any kind of division in your place of worship? Release yourself today as an instrument to bring the desired peace into the body of Christ.
