Agreeing to Agree.
01/14 Daily Exhortation (Heb.3:13;10:25;Matt.6:11;Luke 11:3)
What can be foreseen this 1/14 in the following 1:14?
Philemon 1:14 (KJB) But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Note that Paul, even as an apostle, would do nothing WITHOUT Philemon’s agreement or “mind.” It would be a greater reward also for Philemon as well as Paul when things are done WILLINGLY rather than out of "necessity" or "duty."
Paul is writing to the church in Philemon’s house (house church model). Philemon later has this beautiful verse:
Philemon 1:25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
In the King James’ English, the “your” is plural but note that “spirit” is singular. This means ALL TOGETHER HAVE *ONE* SPIRIT. New versions obscure these revelations by mixing the plurals and singulars. I have heard many a faulty sermon/teaching in 3 decades because they were ignorant of this...
What can be foreseen is that local churches have over the millennia become more and more and more in disagreement as the Ecumenical Spirit of pseudo-love has competed with fervent charity and seeing eye to eye as Holy Ghost filled brothers/sisters who hammer out doctrine, thresh out the wheat, and allow the Spirit of Truth to lead and guide into all truth.
Even Satan’s kingdom is not divided against itself per Jesus (Mark 3:24-26)…
Often, rebellious, disagreeing sinners will join forces for evil purposes and use one another to some common goal:
Proverbs 1:14 (KJB) Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse… [Another 1:14 for today…]
Psalms 133 states that It is pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity and it brings the blessing of God, the anointing, and doctrinal dew to unify, etc.
In Neh. 8, they were all gathered together around THE BOOK and as ONE MAN. 1 Cor. 1:10 has Paul beseeching them in Jesus’ Name to ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING. 1 Cor. 12 says there should be NO SCHISM in the body of Christ. In Acts 2, the Holy Ghost was poured out when they were all IN ONE MIND AND ONE ACCORD IN ONE PLACE IN THE HOUSE CHURCH and tarrying for the Lord.
First agree with God/His word, agree with your spouse, your house, your local church, etc. Now, this doesn’t work necessarily beyond a local church as there are kuhzillions of voices out yonder, and Proverbs says that “only by pride cometh contention.” Satan has about near stamped out the scriptural local church in these last days. One single basic truth post on social media can bring the amped up spiritual bad grid in like a flood. But there is no excuse for not agreeing to agree in the local church, etc.
This day, will you walk with the Lord in agreement (Amos 3:3; 1 John 1) and will you agree with His body/church? –r <3
