Unity Pack by Keith Craft



In 1752, a group of Methodist men, including John Wesley, signed a covenant that each man agreed to hang on the wall of his study. The six articles of this solemn agreement were as follows:
  1. That we will not listen or willingly inquire after ill concerning one another;
  2. That, if we do hear any ill of each other, we will not be forward to believe it;
  3. That as soon as possible we will communicate what we hear by speaking or writing to the person concerned;
  4. That until we have done this, we will not write or speak a syllable of it to any other person;
  5. That neither will we mention it, after we have done this, to any other person;
  6. That we will not make any exception to any of these rules unless we think ourselves absolutely obliged in conference.
My prayer is that God will help me live this way and that He will connect me to others that will seek to  live this way! I believe if we do, we will impact the world for God. I love the church. I want US to be everything that God is dreaming we can become.

The enemy of our soul, thrives on discord and disharmony. Disunity is his goal because he knows that he cannot do he cannot do one thing about God commanding a blessing where there is unity (Psalm 133). Being the “accuser of the brethren” is his specialty and his best recruits are “church people.” The devil delights in God’s children backbiting, gossiping, letting everybody know what they don’t agree with, and not understanding their power as sons and daughters of God.

I pray that God would help you to know the power of agreement and that you would make “solemn agreements” with other people of God to be Armor-bearers for God, His kingdom, His people and everything that concerns God.
