FAITH CAPSULE There is power in agreement when God is the center of your fellowship.

Acts 12:1-19

The agreement is an act of agreeing; it is a state of being in accord. 
It is accord, compromise, compatible, consistency, complying, and reconciliation. 
Where the agreement exists, disagreement, dissent, disharmony, discord, disunity, dissimilarity, divorce does not exist. 
Are you in the fellowship of two, three, four, or many fellowships with the identity of agreement or disagreement? 
The roots of disagreement are lying, deception and manipulation. Agreement or disagreement is always the identity of the Christian body. 
As an acclaimed believer, where do you stand?
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. 
The people started with building outside of God; they wanted to build for self but not God. 
Building outside of your Creator 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 arrived to build babel without agreement 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 the drive of your fellowship in an attempt to build?
Is it in the building for self or God?
In your fellowship, God, cannot be counted outside of our engagement.
A failure not to count on God in your engagement, disagreement will intervene to disarray, to bring down your fellowship engagement.
Take note that there is power in agreement when God is the center of your fellowship engagement. 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 power. 
Once, Peter was facing death like that of James, the brother of John that was killed by King Herod. 
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)  Peter’s deliverance came through 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 Christ’s reality.
