“till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:13
To be a mature Christian, means we are continually GROWing in Christ, constantly thinking and acting like Christ. It is all about us being in alignment with all that God has called us to be. When we are in unity with Christ, we receive the anointing from God.
How do we GROW up? We get in unity. We get into unity by:
- Giving Honor…what you honor, you have access to. What you dishonor you push away from yourself. What you honor you draw to yourself. Unity happens when you give honor. (1 Peter 2:17)
- Giving Love…Love is important for unity to happen. The Bible tells us, Above all clothe yourself in love. Do not let sin separate you from love.(Colossians 3:14 NLT, 1 Peter 4:8, 1 Corinthians 13:13)
- Being Positive…Being a positive person makes unity possible. Nothing positive will ever happen in your life by being negative. Be prositive, proactively positive. (Deuteronomy 30:11-16)
- Giving Mercy…Unity works by mercy. Give mercy! (Matthew 5:7)
- Getting a Mindset…Get a mindset for unity to work. Do not be futile in your mindset. Set your mind toward God. (Ephesians 4:17-19, 21-24)
Let’s GROW! Grow past yourself. Grow better than yourself. Get into UNITY!
