FAITH CAPSULE: Walking in togetherness count before God.

Acts 3:1-9

Agreement is the evidence of unity and it always demonstrates togetherness. Where there is agreement progress and positive results becomes the identity. Jesus buttress the effect of agreement when He stated, “…If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 18:19) If agreement can be so effective, disagreement can possibly be destructive. Is there any area of your life where agreement or disagreement is having its place? It can be difficult for two or more to work or walk together without agreement. However, when two or more work or walk together in agreement, positive result becomes evident.
Peter and John must have been in agreement when they went together. It is written, ““Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.” (Acts 3:1) If there is a perfect time to walk together in agreement it should be the hour of prayer like Peter and John.
Today, many are walking at the hour of prayer and not in agreement but faking togetherness. The absence of togetherness is the absence of the manifesting power. In going together there is no bitter envy or self-seeking which are the author of confusion. Today, believers walk into the temple without paying attention to the importance of togetherness. Walking in togetherness count before God and it is among what moves the hand of God. Also it is what demonstrates the fear of God. There was power in the going of Peter and John because they were together and on time with the business of their God. At the gate of the temple Peter and John came in contact with the lame man. The lame man asked for alms and, “…fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.” (Acts 3:3-5) Peter and John had all that the lame man needed to get out of his lameness. Without attention there will be no expectation and when expectation is not in place there will be no manifestation. Peter and John called for the lame man’s attention and he responded to the calling of Peter and John expecting to receive. The obedience of the lame man got him more than he expected because his stagnation was transformed to motion. All the people that knew him to be a lame man and the ones that knew him to be a beggar saw the glory of God in his life and, “…They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.” (Acts 3:10) Peter and John were together in agreement; the lame man gave attention with expectation and manifestation had its place.

Prayer for today: Ask God to bring forth your wonder and amazing miracle that glorifies His name.
