TODAY’s SCRIPTURE : Ezekiel 37-39 Chapters
DEVOTION
Read Ezekiel 37:20-25,
Ezekiel 37:17
1.Resurrection Must Lead to Reconciliation
In Ezekiel 37:1–14, God breathes life into a valley of dry bones. But immediately after this miracle, God commands Ezekiel to take two separate sticks which represent Judah and Ephraim and bind them into one (verse 20–22).
God did not raise an army to let them fight each other. Revival without unity is incomplete, God raises us up not to stand in separate camps, but to walk as one body.
Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” – Psalm 133:1
2.Gifts Without Love is Worthless
We often prioritize signs, wonders, theological knowledge, and speaking in tongues. Yet Scripture makes it clear that if our gifts feed our egos and divide people instead of bringing them together, they are utterly useless.
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal… and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” – 1 Corinthians 13:1–2
Spiritual maturity is never measured by power alone, it is measured by the ability to build peace. Every spiritual gift God gives you has one core purpose that is edifying the church and uniting hearts around Christ Ephesians 4:2-3
3. One Shepherd, One Flock
Ezekiel prophesies that God’s united people will have “one king” and “one shepherd” (Ezekiel 37:24). Jesus echoed this exact promise in John 10:14, 16
“I am the good shepherd… and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.”
When sheep look at each other, they clash. When sheep look at the Shepherd, they converge. True Christian unity is not uniformity but it is alignment with Jesus Christ.
THE CALL
Are your words, gifts, and influence acting as glue or a wedge in God’s house? Lay aside division, bring what is broken into the Father’s hands, and let Him join us into one stick for His glory.
