“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3; KJV). “Together” means to be one, a unit; like a group of soldiers marching in synchrony. Walking together doesn’t just happen, we have to will or agree to go in the same direction. “Agreed” has the essence of coming together in complete agreement, like coming together in marriage.

This passage from Amos should describe our relationship with God; one with him, walking in union, complete obedience and being quick to repent when convicted. We cannot have our favorite scriptures and ignore others. We cannot be selective in obedience; however inconvenient or hard it may appear to be. If one of those soldiers decided to march at a different rhythm the whole group would be thrown out of step. Unity is a beautiful thing and important to God (Ps 133:1-3). There will never be unity in the body of Christ if we as individuals don’t first make the decision to bring our will into unity with him. We must be in complete agreement with God to walk with him.

Unity in the body of Christ is not just unity and fellowship with men, in our own strength but a unity driven by God’s Spirit in us and other men and women, by God’s grace through faith. Unity releases the power of God. In the early church the people were: “of one heart and of one soul”, no one lacked, the apostles preached with great power, signs, wonders and miracles and the church grew tremendously (Acts 4:32-33).

Focus on walking with God today and see how he will bless your relationships with others.
