Today’s Reading:
Matthew 6
Psalm 133
Romans 12
Proverbs 19
How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity! It’s as precious as the sacred scented oil flowing from the head of the high priest Aaron, dripping down upon his beard and running all the way down to the hem of his priestly robes. This harmony can be compared to the dew dripping from Mount Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed, that is where Yahweh has decreed his blessings will be found, the promise of life forevermore!
Psalms 133:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
The apiary is a model. The apiary is a Heavenly design — for unity of purpose, for being of one heart and one mind, for cultivating the sweet fruitfulness of many hands, many diligent hands making for lighter work and greater return. This is what I long to do with you. This is the model I want you to seek and follow. The heart of it produces sweetness and reflects the sweet unity of brothers, of sisters who have bonded together in worship that takes form through the work of your hands.
Be devoted to tenderly loving your fellow believers as members of one family. Try to outdo yourselves in respect and honor of one another. Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him.
Romans 12:10-11 TPT
Diligence is key. Unity is key. Aligned and singular purpose is key. Your singular purpose may accomplish many things, but the purpose is singular, clear, distinct and known. This is a blueprint for how to work: Make your purpose plain. Bring to the table those who agree and who have a mind to work. Ensure it is aligned with My heart, and set to work in unity and aligned purpose as an act of worship to Me. If your work has a direct, singular line from your heart through purpose to My heart, this will succeed. If this is true for all of the workers, you will more than succeed, you will experience explosive growth and sweet, rarified fruitfulness.
So above all, constantly seek God’s kingdom and his righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.
Matthew 6:33 TPT
This is the blueprint for fruitfulness, for success, for prosperity in anything you endeavor to do. Align first your heart to Mine, align and distill your purposes to be singular, clear, unchanging and known. And then gather and draw in those who are of the same heart and the same mind, and those who have a mind to work. The steps are simple. Align your heart with Heaven. In that alignment, make your purpose clear. Select and gather those who can go with you, those who are aligned in mind, heart and purpose and who have a mind to work. And then let your diligence, unity, connectedness and efforts be an act of ongoing worship and perpetual praise. This is the model. This is how you will gain success in your work.
How to Respond
- Pray, Lord help me to align my heart perfectly with Yours. Help me to understand and see the purpose You have written in my heart. And bring the people You have pre-ordained and gifted to partner with me in this, so we can build together for Your Kingdom’s benefit and to delight Your heart.
- Declare, A person may have many ideas concerning God’s plan for his life, but only the designs of God’s purpose will succeed in the end.
Proverbs 19:21 TPT - Decree, I will not lean on my own understanding. I am aligning my will, heart and life to the Lord God Almighty. As I do, He will reveal His purposes for me, and I will align with them as well. He will bring co-laborers, brothers and sisters with whom I can unite, connect and build for His Kingdom’s sake.
