Christian Unity

Christian Unity
By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit (1 John 4:13 NRSV).
Beloved members of the Body of Christ, the certainty that we are possessed and guided by the Holy Spirit, is the inward testimony that we are in real union with God and with one another as believers. What matters most is not simply the possession of all the necessities of life, although this is important; it is the unity of purpose, common aims, shared ideals, and the effort of each member to realize our goal. The same concept abides in the spiritual realm: union with God in Christ matters most. Working and walking together with each other become easier when each member is united with Christ.
There are many proofs of unity in the body of Christ, the Church. An inward assurance that we discover as we examine and evaluate our own experiences; those proofs that we discern as we live with each other in our faith relationships; and the practical fruits that manifest as we engage the presence of God. The greatest proof is the clear consciousness that we, growing with experience, become mature and are guided by the Holy Spirit. We learn to distinguish and evaluate our inner controls. They become clearer the longer we live and the more fully we respond to the Spirit’s impulses.
Now brothers and sisters, let us walk the journey of faith together in the bond of peace, by the Holy Spirit, and our Master’s work that is entrusted to us will advance.

About Gabriel & Grace Akinbode

My wife and I realized the need to have a website where our ministries and activities would be made available to a wider range of people and also have an on hand record for people at any time. It seems we are engaging in undocumented efforts when we move from church to church without being able to retrieve all the biblical studies, exhortations, and other relevant writings. We believe that from this website we would make a great impact in the lives of many people through Bible Studies, inspiring messages, testimonies of God’s faithfulness, ministrations, and prayers. People will be able to catch the blessings and benefits that God has for them. This website is a means of obeying the injunction of our Lord who says, “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). MISSION STATEMENT To reach out to the world with the gospel of Christ; sharing the good news that God has for people in whatever position or situation they may be, and to share our personal experiences about the faithfulness of God.
