Twos
Double of one; 2
It is the natural number following 1 and preceding 3.
Last Sunday morning, I shared some thoughts about “ones”.
All week long, Monic and I have met with many “ones” in our interviews.
I’ve realised however, there is great power in two.
From one-by-one, to two-by-two.
Daily, just as the disciples of old, more than 68,000 missionaries go forth two-by-two into all the world to invite others to Come unto Christ.
Each companionship (two) is the basic organisation of the 408 missions of the Church, speaking 60 languages and serving in 150 countries.
Scriptural Foundation
The scriptures teach; “In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” (2 Corinthians 13:1)
“Ye shall go forth in the power of my Spirit, preaching my gospel, two by two, in my name, lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, declaring my word like unto angels of God” (D&C 42:6)
“Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow…” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)
Two are better than one, if they act as one.
This week Camille N Johnson shared; “There are many famous statements out there about the “power of one.” Culturally, societally, we have celebrated the accomplishments of the individual. I testify of the power of two! Bound to the Saviour, through the covenants we have made with God, we stay aligned with Him and “can do all things through Christ [who strengthens us].” (Philippians 4:13)
Two become three in “The Lord, My Companion, and Me”.
The Lord, my companion and me,
Are a great combination, we three:
For where He would lead us, we go willingly,
The Lord, my companion and me,
The Lord, my companion and me,
Have a work that is endless, you see.
For the good, honest souls must be gathered, we’re told
By the Lord, my companion and Me.
The Lord, my companion and me,
Must pull as a team, constantly,
If we would have power, we will remember each hour
It’s the Lord first, then my companion, then me.
(Lula Anderson)
Why not reach out today, to one of our twos throughout Belgium, the Netherlands or around the world.
