The Power of Alignment.
I recently had a very productive meeting with some of our very key leaders at Life Church Brisbane. In this meeting we discussed upcoming vision and ministry goals. What struck me was the spiritual alignment in the room. While there were many differing opinions expressed there was a strong cohesion to the shared vision and a commitment to honour each other and to walk together. This alignment is vital in our homes and marriages, and businesses if we are to step into God’s blessing. Ed Cole a very prominent speaker to men used to say “agreement is the place of power”. Agreement in our homes and relationships is not about the absence of differing opinions, if that is the case in any relationship then one brain seems to be redundant. True agreement and alignment flows from personal ownership of a shared goal, and a commitment to draw on collaborative wisdom, skills, and perspectives to see God’s purpose established.
Psalm 133:1-3 (NKJV)
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!

3……….. For there the LORD commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.
Yours in Him

Awesome post Geoff, I like your distinction between having differing opinions and a spirit of agreement. That is important to recognise.
