Philippians 4:2 NKJV
I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
Philippians 4:2 NKJV
Paul addressed an important issue with regards to the conflict among the leaders in the Philippian Church. He calls out by name the two ladies who were ministers of the gospel.
Sometimes we can get lost in the conflict over our preferences and start to drift away from the truth of God and His word.
Many times we don't realise the issue we create with the whole body of Christ, our church and our community because of our personal differences.
Paul urged them to put away their differences and start to look unto Jesus and His plans for the church.
This can be applied in marriages, in how to raise our children, ministries and so on.
The situation that we are in that have got a hold of our attention will start to tear apart the vision and goals that we know God has given.
When we turn to the Lord and start seeing His plans above what we go through,most of the time the problem gets solved just like that.
Where we put our value is important, the conflict is not from God. Therefore, it would be wise to let go of those things and remain in the purposes of God.
We are all called to be of the same mind as Christ had, we need to apply this principle in ministry, in marriage and in everything we do.
The miracles are in remaining in God's plan. The enemy on the other hand wants us to take our attention from God to our situations.
Let us hold on strong when we are faced with challenges, when we have been pushed around by everyone. At the end, we will enjoy the fruits of His blessings.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
