Pleasant Pilgrimage!

Hi friends,

On this eternal pilgrimage, there is every need to make it as godly and pleasurably as possible so we can achieve heaven’s purpose and make it to be with the Lord and master of our soul ultimately.

Psalms 133:1

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell

 together in unity!

The word pleasant simply means friendly and considerate manner; likeable.

This feat of continuous unity is only achievable when we make deliberate and conscious effort to work in unity with the brethren irrespectively of offences and character flaws. We must also be willing to make sacrifices too.

I had a discussion with a friend who said his reason for not working for God and choosing to be a bench warmer in the church was because of his former pastor’s injustice and an elder’s misconduct.

As good and reasonably as this may look, it is still not a good enough reason for any Christian pilgrim to abscond from duty post or refuse to labour for the Master who is also the Lord of the harvest.

The meat of the matter is that because the devil does not want the work of God to prosper or want you to achieve divine purpose he will use anything and everything possible including using those very close to you.

You must chose to persevere, pray and be intentional to walk in unity with the brethren. Let’s us put our individual differences and character flaws aside. No excuse is good enough to walk in disunity.

The Bible further predicts that surely offences would come but woe unto that man by whom offence come. God has His way of dealing with all men irrespective of their class or status so let us look away from men unto our judge and rewarder.

Let us pray to overcome the evil one with all his devices so that unity can be attainable. You don’t need to be a friend to walk in unity. Intimacy is not needed either but focusing on the ultimate goal set by our dear Lord and saviour to whom we will give an account of ourselves.

Why the kingdom of the devil accomplishes irrespective of the fact that there is no love or any fruit of the spirit is because they focus on their mission. Apostle Paul admonishes us to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.   

Beloved Pilgrim, may the good Lord keep you, preserve you blameless, safe and in unity with other Christian pilgrims until we meet at the golden city of the New Jerusalem! 

Your friend and fellow Pilgrim in the Kingdom Race,
