"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" - Psalm 133:1 KJV
Good Morning Agape Family — Churches can have crowds, but God gave us family. That's our DNA. Agape is not just a name on a sign, it is how we treat each other when no one is preaching. For 31 years we have dwelled together — in unity, not uniformity. Through funerals and birthdays, we stayed family. God is pleased with family.
1. BEHOLD — hinneh (look, pay attention) God points God says behold your family! Stop counting who left and behold who stayed. Behold the ones who prayed you through, who wiped floors, who watched children so you could preach. Behold what God built.
2. HOW GOOD — tob (good, beautiful, beneficial in God's eyes) Good in God's eyes is family that forgives. Good is not perfection, it is commitment. 31 years of forgiving, showing up, loving again — God calls that GOOD.
3. DWELL TOGETHER — yashab yachad (to sit, remain, live as one) Yashab means we didn't just visit, we remained. Yachad means as a single unit. You are not attendees, you are dwellers. You live here spiritually. This house holds your history.
4. IN UNITY — yachad (together, in oneness, like oil running) Unity is not that we all agree, it is that we are all anointed by the same oil. That oil ran from Pastor Walcott's head to the whole body for 31 years. Unity is our anointing preserver.
Prophetic Word For You Today
The Lord says: Agape, you are MY family portrait in Plainfield. When I wanted to show Plainfield what love looks like, I showed them you. You didn't just preach family, you became it. I saw you feed each other when money was short. I saw you show up at hospitals at midnight. I saw you love people back from the edge. This is why you lasted 31 years — love held you when doctrine alone could not. And I tell you, the same family anointing that kept you will now attract many who have never had family. COME HOME TO AGAPE.
Today’s Declaration
Say this out loud three times: We are FAMILY! We dwell together in love and unity — Agape is home, and we are staying for generations!
I love you, I'm praying for you.
