Day 5: Loving Unity

Day 5: Loving Unity / Love for the Lost 

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting” (Acts 2:1, 2).

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity” (Psalm 133:1).

“This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:12, 13).

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me” (John 17:20-23).

“In spite of all the good qualities a man may have, he cannot be a good soldier if he acts independently of those connected with him. Occasional and uncertain movements, however earnest and energetic, will in the end bring defeat. Take a strong team of horses. If, instead of both pulling together, one should suddenly jerk forward and the other pull back, they would not move the load, notwithstanding their great strength. So the soldiers of Christ must work in concert, else there will be a mere concourse of independent atoms. Strength, instead of being carefully treasured to meet one great end, will be wasted in disconcerted, meaningless efforts. In union is strength. A few men and women who unite together, having the glory of God in view, will be growing in strength and wisdom, and gaining new victories” (Signs of the Times, Sept. 7, 1891, par. 7).

Intercession Focus: Renewed Love, Especially for the Lost 

Pray for God’s people to experience renewed love in the following areas:

  • For God and His Word 
  • For fellow church members – our brothers and sisters in Christ 
  • Among family members 
  • For the lost, specifically: 
  • All those around the world who have never heard of Jesus 
  • Those who have heard of Jesus, but have never met him personally 
  • Individuals who once loved Jesus, but have fallen away 
  • Our family and close friends who are backslidden


THE LORD IS COMING, SOON, AMEN, YES, COME LORD JESUS!
