Here are prayer points for unity in the church you can use to pray.
Do you want and desire real unity among believers of your local assembles and also of the entire body of Christ?
A lot of things can make that happen.
Foremost of them is your prayer and intercession for the church.
God wants His body to be one, united and be very formidable that Satan will not be able to touch the hinder part of it.
Yes, we may defer in doctrine and theological emphasis, but we are one and member of the body of Christ.
Unity in the church is so dear to God that Jesus had to pray in the 17th Chapter of the gospel of John, that God will make His entire body one in Him and in the Son. (See John 17:21, KJV)
It is that serious.
This is because it is in the churches’ oneness that the world will know the real true greatness, love and kindness of God.
Your part and my part today is to really seek the Lord in prayer for ways and how to have the body of Christ to really become one in practice.
Yes, the body is one in Christ right now, but it has to be in practice and in reality.
Prayer can help birth ideas and circumstances that may foster the unity of the church.
This is why you must not joke with these prayer points for unity in the church.
Ready to pray!
Let’s get started.
