Unity of all campuses being together | Ps Shane Martin
A few years ago I owned a Cruiser motorcycle. A 2053cc engine of pure joy and grunt that was larger than most small car engines, any day of the week. Along with polishing chrome and many washes, for me to look after the bike well, oil, air and care was involved on a weekly basis.
Oil was an extremely important part of the care process. As many of you would know, any engine without enough oil would run hot, have unnecessary friction and eventually burn out, leaving you broken down and travelling the road to nowhere fast.
In Psalm 133 the Bible visualises God's people dwelling together in unity as “precious oil”. Not too dissimilar to our modern day engines, unity makes life pleasant. It helps things run smoother, it reduces friction and it allows function to flow.
Unity is so deeply attractive and valuable to the heart of God that when the people of God come together in unity, it releases a corporate anointing that accelerates and builds momentum in the purposes of God, in and through His people, to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In September, not long from now, all our Horizon Campuses will be coming from near and far to dwell together in unity, at a specific time and place, to worship and come under the Word. This pleases the heart of the Father, and the anointing will be poured out. There is fresh oil to come under that will make things easier, lighter and more pleasant both for you personally, and for our church corporately.
It’s coming, Horizon! Get ready and prepare your heart, as God is moving us forward so that even more can experience the love, kindness, healing and hope of our heavenly Father that loves His church so dearly.
Sounds like revival to me… Don't you think?
Prayer Focus:
- Spend time in worship, focusing your attention on Jesus.
- Pray that love for God and each other would bind us together in perfect unity as we gather together
- Pray for each of our campuses as God leads you - Sutherland Shire, Sydney South West, Perth, Busselton, Stellenbosch, Rote Island, Online & those yet to come
About this Plan
“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:5. Over the next 14 days, we are preparing our hearts & spirits for revival. Revival calls us to return to our first love, to rekindle the fire of devotion, and to seek the face of God with fervent prayer & repentance. Join us as we pray and fast, consecrating ourselves before God to seek His will.
