FAITH CAPSULE: Is your building in agreement or disagreement?

Acts 12:1-19

The agreement is an act of agreeing; it is a state of being in accord. 
It is accord, compromise, compatibility, consistency, complying, and reconciliation. 
Where the agreement exists, disagreement, dissent, disharmony, discord, disunity, dissimilarity, and divorce do not exist. 
Are you in the fellowship of two, three, or many with the character of agreement or disagreement? 
The roots of disagreement are lying, deception or manipulation. 
The Christian body is not with exemption from having agreement or disagreement. 
Is your fellowship in agreement with the word of God?
Is your fellowship rooted in the direction of God?
Is your fellowship building up like a Tower of Babel? 
When the people began to build the Tower of Babel, there was no agreement rooted in God. 
Building outside the command of the Creator of all is uncompromising, a disagreement with the only Creator. 
At the onset of building the Tower of Babel, the people state, “…Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:4) 
The people disagree with the word of God by building babel, not agreeing with their Creator. 
God responds to the construction by the people, “…Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.” (Genesis 11:6)
What is driving your fellowship to build up before God?
Is your building in agreement or disagreement?
Not counting on God in your fellowship is either engagement or disagreement to build or bring down a gathering fellowship.
Know that there is power in agreement when God is the center of your fellowship.
Jesus testifies to the power of fellowshipping, “…if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:19-20) 
The power of agreement is in coming together for the glory of God, not for self-glorification. 
In the name of Jesus, coming together in agreement is the manifestation of power. 
Once, Peter was facing death when the agreement of the fellowship answered for his deliverance.
There was no way out for Peter to escape the hand of Herod. 
The Bible records, “And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.”(Acts 12:6)  
He had deliverance when “…prayer was offered to God for him by the church.” (Acts 12:5) 
The coming together of the church in agreement delivered Peter from an untimely death in the hand of King Herod. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from religion and place you into the reality of Christ.
