Understanding the Unity for which Christ

Prayed

Since March 25 Adventist believers around the world are in prayer for the
Unity of Gods Remnant church. In reality I find many people have their own
ideas of what unity means and how it should be wrought. Apostle John records
the last prayer of Jesus before crucifixion Chapter 17 the Prayer for Unity,
especially verses 20-23, where Jesus prays for all His followers through the
ages, who will believe through the Word of originally sent apostles, that they all
may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one
in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You
gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them,
and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may
know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. This
is the prayer that is yet to be answered! I have witnessed how peoples personal
opinions divide congregations.
Some think that as long as we are in union, united as one denomination, it
will suffice. Union is not unity. There are United States, United Kingdom,
without unity. There are families who enter into the union being disagreeable
and are united in fighting one another. Others see unity as uniformity,
expecting all to conform to certain standards. Mennonites, Amish, some Jewish
Hassidic communities strive for uniformity in dress, etc., yet it is not unity! The
example of unity was the early apostolic church in the upper room when the Holy
Spirit descended their unity is described as a harmony, being of one accord,
Greek term homothumadon (Acts 1:14; 2:1,46; 4:24; 5:15). This musical term
implies unity in diversity it takes at least three different notes to make an
accord and a harmony! The unity is the tune of the spirit, the attitude, being of
One Spirit. I discover the key for Unity promised by Christ (John 17:22) is in
verse 5 the Glory of being in Gods Presence. When we seek Gods Presence,
when Gods Presence is in our lives we cannot help but be in unity, by the Holy
Spirit! When people are not in unity one may wonder if they are of the same
spirit.
As I consider statements made by our pioneers on the subject of unity they
indicate that we all need to reform, to change, to align ourselves, and that will
follow the revival of the Spirit. It also comes with a warning that in every revival
Satan will bring those who are unsanctified in heart and unbalanced in mindin
all the history of the church no reformation has been carried forward without
serious obstacles.there are some who bring heresies, that, if received, would
eventually crowd out the love of the truth. (Great Controversy, 396, Ellen G.
White) Notice the result of heresies crowding out the love and accusing spirit.
Jesus warned that toward the end the love of many will grow cold (Matthew
24:12-13) and we must endure in love to the end in order to be saved. Loving
heart is the evidence of Gods Spirit, of Gods Presence in our lives. Whatever
the issue may be ordination, spiritual formation, financial management,
evangelism, going door-to-door a telling factor is non-accusatory and loving
heart. First examine yourself, are you moved by non-judgmental loving spirit?
When you listen to people who claim to challenge things are they being loving,
non-accusatory, non-judging? Only being in tune with Holy Spirit will make us
sound in one accord.

your servant, pastor Alex Golovenko
