2Kings 23:20 KJV And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

*As believers, we should hold onto all promises of God because they are reliable. Leveraging Josiah's bold step of exterminating evil in his kingdom, saints and ministers of God should courageously stand for the truth, stamp out all kinds of evil practices around their places of influence, and rest assured that none can harm them.*

There is no basis for arrogance, pride, and self-aggrandizement in the church of God. Rather, we should seek to promote love, peace, and unity among one another in the church. Where we have hurt any, let us humbly and sincerely admit our fault, and ask for forgiveness. And where we have been offended and feel hurt, let us be gracious to forgive and reconcile with others.

There is no space for ill in a room occupied by love!
