HAVE YOU ever reflected on your relationships with Believers, and wondered why your common faith in Christ appears to bring more division than unity?

The desire for ‘unity’ is a common and ancient burden among our Native peoples. As Believers, we confirm and testify that ‘unity’ is important to our Creator and Christ.

However, those serving in First Nations ministry often witness more conflict and division, in the Body of Christ, than harmony and respect.

TODAY, I INVITE YOU to pray with me that those serving in Native Ministry, will actively pursue compassion for one another.

1 Peter 3:8-9 says "Finally, all of you should agree and have concern and love for each other. You should also be kind and humble. Don’t be hateful and insult people just because they are hateful and insult you. Instead, treat everyone with kindness. You are God’s chosen ones, and he will bless you."

Ask our Creator to allow our First Nations people and those serving in Native Ministry, to bless one another, while pursuing unity.

ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURES (4 translations: The Scriptures, CEV, Amplified, KJV):
"The Scriptures" is a translation that includes the original Hebrew names and has the books in chronological order.  The Contemporary English Version (CEV) is a translation that is written for 'oral tradition' peoples and it flows well while reading it aloud.  The Amplified version is one where meanings of words and phrases are 'amplified' for better understanding.  The King James Version (KJV) is the translation that works well with Strong's Concordance.
