"But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren."Matthew 23:8
Devotional Quote:
The work will soon be closed up. The Lord has instructed His people to be united and earnest in their prayers and in their work as they proclaim to the world the message of present truth. Thus they give evidence that they are sanctified by the Spirit, and their work is a success. The Holy Spirit always draws believers closer together, increasing their unity and happiness. —Manuscript 99, 1901.3
There are those who have an excellent understanding of the Word, but who are always criticizing the work of others. Let us pray that we may be of one mind and one judgment. Let no one think that it is a virtue to stand on the side of the criticizer, unable to see the great work to be done nigh and afar off. We know that there will be “some who will put into the minds of their brethren thoughts and suggestions that should be repressed. The sowing of this seed causes dissension and strife to spring up. May God convert the jealous and suspicious ones who see a yoke of bondage in uniting with their brethren in counsel and prayer regarding important movements. The Lord says, ‘All ye are brethren.’” —Manuscript 99, 1901.4
God needs the strength of the united action. The workers are to be faithful in all they do. They are not to move independently, without any reference to the counsel of their brethren. Those in one part of the vineyard should consider it a favor to have the counsel of their brethren in another part. Thus they guard against mistakes. One man’s mind is not to become a controlling power. Narrowness is not to be revealed in the plans laid. The cause is one. The aims of the workers should be one. —Manuscript 99, 1901.5
Those who are working for God should obtain all the advice they can from experienced workers. God grant that all may work in such a way that the great I AM may imprint His name on the work done. —Manuscript 99, 1901.6
Prayer for Unity
Lord Jesus, You are our only Master, and You have called us to live as brethren under Your name. We come before You asking that You remove from us every spirit of criticism, pride, and independence. Unite our hearts, minds, and purpose in the work You’ve entrusted to us. May Your Holy Spirit draw us closer together, sanctify our motives, and fill us with love and humility. Teach us to seek wise counsel, to labor with one accord, and to give glory to You alone. Imprint Your name upon all that we do. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Stand in the gap in prayer unitedly with believers worldwide.
