The Wesley Covenant:
“It is agreed by us whose names are underwritten to:
First, that we will not listen or willingly inquire after any ill concerning each other;
Secondly, that if we do hear any ill of each other, we will not be forward to believe it;
Thirdly, that as soon as possible we will communicate what we hear by speaking or writing to the person concerned;
Fourthly, that until we have done this, we will not write or speak a syllable of it to any person whatsoever;
Fifthly, that neither will we mention it, after we have done this, to any other person;
Sixthly, that we will not make any exception to any of these rules, unless we think ourselves absolutely obliged to do so.”
I believe God is looking for character and people who will join their hearts together in a bond of fraternal affection that will be both fruitful and protective. As we enter what will perhaps be the most strategic era since the resurrection of Jesus, let us purpose in our hearts to walk in a Christ-like manner and fulfill the prophetic prediction of Jesus when He said: “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35
