Psalms 133:1
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity!
Jesus said through the unity and oneness of the body of Christ, the world will know that God has sent Him. Our unity is a great testimony to the world and it is a good and pleasant thing.
Unity among believers makes tremendous power available to us in all our gatherings. Praying for one another, supporting one another, forgiving one another, getting along with one other and considering others better than yourself is a great thing in the eyes of God. Paul said endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace, which simply means that unity is work. Unity doesn't just happen, we have to endeavor and give diligence at maintaining unity among ourselves. We have an enemy, Satan, who is the spirit of division and works tirelessly in creating strife, discord and division among believers. Division is powerful because Jesus said, Any kingdom or house divided against itself cannot stand. Therefore we must use our faith, pray and work with God in producing and maintaining unity among the church. Unity doesn't just happen, it requires diligence and sacrifices but it's worth it.
Friend, God himself testified about the power of unity when he saw people coming together to build the tower of Babel. He said, nothing that they have imagined to do would be impossible for them. Unity is powerful. As long as they were in one heart and one mind, no one could stop them but as soon as there was confusion and division, the work stopped immediately. Start with youserlf. You take a step towards unity. Forgive. Forget. Bless. Appreciate. Resist the spirit of division. Live in peace with all. You are a peace maker and this is your time.
