 Agreement
 Agreement is an essential principle of the
Kingdom. Without agreement, it is
impossible to unleash the power of God in
our lives.

 Natural Examples
 A natural example: in order for us to have
mobility, our legs must be in agreement
with one another and they, too, must be in
agreement with our brain.
 Another example, marriage: the greatest
indicator of a sick marriage is the absence
of agreement. Without agreement on
communication, fellowship, child-rearing,
and finances, a marriage is doomed!

 Agreement
 Agreement is the point of power in the
Kingdom of God. When we are in
agreement with God and fellow believers
and citizens, he reveals His plan, His
purpose, and His promises.

 The Bridegroom
 What would a bridegroom say if he

found his bride filthy and disheveled? If
this is unsatisfactory for an earthly groom,
how much more so will it be for the King of
Kings?
 So-called prophets keep looking up hoping
for Jesus to “crack the sky!” Jesus isn’t
coming until our divine assignment is
complete!

Kingdom of God have much work to do!
We have some housekeeping to do before
our Savior’s return!
