2 Chronicles 28, Ecclesiastes 4, Matthew 18:1-20
What God said to me – Your walk with Me is not just important – it is essential. To walk in a manner worthy of your calling, this daily conversation is a vital part of your training and transformation into My image. But fellowship with other believers is also an important and necessary part of your growth. I never intended for you to walk with Me only, but I made you a part of a body, My church. Just as a hand or an eye or a liver cannot survive and thrive outside the body, neither can you. You need them and they need you in order for all to grow and minister as I intended. Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes that a cord of three strands is not easily broken. Think about that – a rope made with two strands wrapped around each other is easily pulled apart, but a rope with three strands woven together is difficult to pull apart. In the same way, “I AM” the third strand in your relationships with other believers that binds you together. When two or three are gathered in My name, “I AM” in their midst.
