Power of Agreement

Agreement means Accordance , or in harmony.
There is power in agreement.


Agreement does not happen with one party. Agreement needs multiple parties.

when multiple parties come together and get into Spirit of oneness , the agreement happens.

Most of the problems we see in life is because there is no agreement.

We see fighting between countries, because there is no agreement.

We see fights everywhere because there is no harmony.

Understanding Oneness that comes from agreement.

The concept of oneness can be learnt from this scripture :

15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,”He says, “shall become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

When a person goes to a harlot - what happens is they both become One flesh.

But when you joined to the Lord  - One Spirit.

Remember whenever you use your body, your mouth to immoral things or foolish things, you are declaring that you are becoming One with the world.

Joined to harlot - means coming to an agreement with harlot, then body becomes one.

Joined to the Lord - means agreement with the Lord , then Spirit becomes One.

You are either One body with the world or One Spirit with God. It is either Or.

There is always  One Ness in anything we do because we agree to someone/ something

Existence of man is because of agreement in GodHead.

The very existence of man can be attributed to the agreement that God said

Genesis 1:26
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;

For every other created thing, God said Let the waters, Let there be light , there is no agreement required ,you 

but when it came to creating the man, there is an agreement that God head has come and said Let Us make man in Our image.

Nothing else in this world is in the image of God, its only the man who is in the image of God. and when some thing so powerful as in the likeness of God is being created, that creation needs an agreement and so God said Let Us.

Heart of agreement:

Nehemiah 8: 1

Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was  in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded Israel.

They all gather as one man. This is really incredible. Even a physical gathering can show whether there is one Ness or not. We are so careless even in our gatherings which shows that there is not much of unity.

Most of the times our attitudes are like:

I don't have any problem with others but am of myself , so I will just come and go.

But when these  Israelites have gathered , they were like One Man. Not only physical appearance, but their hearts preparation is that I am part of the Church. I am going to join my brothers and sisters . Am One with my bretheren. Whatever decisions are taken to follow God , I will fully agree with it.

V3 - Ears will be attentive

A man who comes for agreement , his ears will be attentive to the Word of God.

So many times we come to Church , but our ears are not attentive.

If you come with heart of agreement, you will hear the Word of God with attention.

Agree with Words.

And Ezra blessed the Lord , the great God. Then all the people answered, “Amen, Amen!” while lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.

Nehemiah 8:6 NKJV

https://bible.com/bible/114/neh.8.6.NKJV

For us when we pray , at the end we say Amen.

But for us , Amen became so usual, that's the ending Word in our prayers.

During fasting prayers , when daadis pray I usually wait for their long prayers to end, I will be waiting for the last line - Sambda Sweekar Karu - So I can quickly say Amen 

Amen is agreement , Yes I agree.

First come in agreement with God.

Then those of Israelite lineage separated themselves from all foreigners; and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.

Nehemiah 9:2 NKJV

https://bible.com/bible/114/neh.9.2.NKJV

Separate from the world and confess your sins.

First sign of agreement with God is Separation.

Second sign of agreement with God is confession of sins.

Third sign of agreement with God is declaration.

“And because of all this, We make a sure covenant and write it; Our leaders, our Levites, and our priests seal it. ”

Nehemiah 9:38 NKJV

https://bible.com/bible/114/neh.9.38.NKJV

To walk in godliness is not just a matter of decision in heart, you got to declare it in prayer or have an accountable person in life a Jonathan and declare that God is leading you to walk in this area of godliness so I declare this to you . It is not for boasting but for accountability.

Here we see the Israelites made declaration s to walk in godly ways and they signed bit.

Even for bringing the tithe they declare  it 

to bring the firstfruits of our dough, our offerings, the fruit from all kinds of trees, the new wine and oil, to the priests, to the storerooms of the house of our God; and to bring the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites should receive the tithes in all our farming communities.

Nehemiah 10:37 NKJV

https://bible.com/bible/114/neh.10.37.NKJV

Declaration is part of agreement.

Agreement brings results

Matthew 18: 19-20

19 “Again[d] I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

Agreement reveals Presence of God.

When two or three gather together in Jesus Name, the presence of the Lord is revealed. 

Where the presence of the Lord is the miracles are done.rhe breakthroughs are seen 

The victory is seen.

The secret of marriage is agreement.

God brought  man and woman in marriage to agree.

Agree to God's will.
