Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. And He will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction. (Malachi 4:5-6)

For as in one body we have many members, and the members not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. (Romans 12:4-5)

Prayer Points:

Think of brothers and sisters in Christ who have various types of giftings and abilities, and take a moment to thank Jesus for them. Pray for them as God leads.

Ask Holy Spirit to bring to mind areas where you've failed to appreciate the diversity and variety in the body of Christ. Ask the Lord to show you ways you may encourage those who are unlike you in their gifts and callings

Pray for areas of prejudice and judgment in your heart toward those in the body of Christ. (Are you judging another church's expression, or are you harboring racial prejudice? Are you bitter toward a person or group who has not recognized your calling?) Now is the time to repent and ask Jesus to conform your heart and mind to His perfect will.

Ask God to bring to mind at least one specific person you may encourage in his or her giftings today. Pray for this dear one and write a note, send a text, or give them a call to encourage and pray for them.

In the church, we are to accept and not judge one another when we differ on matters where the Bible does not give specific commandments.

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit - Just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call - one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:1-6)

Prayer Points:

Seek God for a fresh work of love, humility, and gentleness to invade and consume His people.

Repent for the ways you have not walked in a manner worthy of your calling, especially in the areas of love and unity.

Pray that pastors, leaders, and Christians will know and understand there is only one body, buy many congregations. Ask that a visible unity of the one church would be displayed in your community.

Ask Holy Spirit to fill your congregation, and the area congregation, in a visibly and unifying way.

Contend for a brighter display of our seven-fold city of one Body, one Lord, one Hope, on Baptism, one Spirit, one Faith, and one God and Father over all.

Many Scripture passages could be called to witness that love is the real key to Christian unity. In the spirit of true humility compassion, consideration, and unselfishness, we are to approach our problems, our work, and even our differences.

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages standing.efore th throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands. (Revelation 7:9)

By this all people will know that you are y disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:35)

Prayer Points

Let the Heavenly Father show you whom you need to forgive for any way they have failed to love you. Surrender your hurt to Jesus and forgive them now.

Prayerfully, make a list of anyone Jesus leads you to show tangible love to today. We are told to do good to everyone, especially to those in the household of faith (Galatians 6:10) Ask Holy Spirit to give you creative ideas and empowerment to put this love into action.

Do not waste time bothering whether you "love" your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. Whey you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. - C.S. Lewis

Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes!

I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in me, an I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as You loved me.
