POWER OF UNITY

Text :  Genesis 11:6.

The LORD said, “Look! They are one people with the same language for all of them, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. Nothing that they have a mind to do will be impossible for them!

There was a time when the entire earth spoke a common language with an identical vocabulary.  As people migrated westward, they came across a plain in the region of Shinar and settled there. (Genesis 11:1-2).

They decided to build a city and a tower, with its summit in the heavens, in order to make a name for themselves so they won’t be scattered over the surface of the whole earth.” 

God's specific instructions to man from the very beginning was for man to fill the earth, subdue it and spread over the earth. But by Genesis eleven, man had decided to do the exact opposite.

They said, “Come on! Let’s build ourselves a city and a tower, with its summit in the heavens, and let’s make a name for ourselves so we won’t be scattered over the surface of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4.

They embarked on this anti-God project and they were making huge progress. One reason for this progress was nothing but Unity. They were united in thoughts, purpose and language. Hear God's remark on this matter.

The LORD said, “Look! They are one people with the same language for all of them, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. Nothing that they have a mind to do will be impossible for them! (Genesis 11:6).

God Himself said nothing will be impossible for them to do because they were of one language and one mind. This is the power of unity.

To stop them in their track, God had to bring division into their camp through confused language. He said, _Come on! Let’s go down there and confuse their language, so that they won’t understand each other’s speech.”_ 

 *The first step towards unity is understanding each other and the opposite is true for disunity too.*

Confused language is not just about speaking different languages but more of not being on the same page. One major weapon the devil uses against Christianity and humanity as it were is disunity.  

Always seek to understand what your partner, parents, children, friend or anyone around you is saying. At times, you tend to hear what your partner is not saying and refused to hear what he or she is saying. This is not always ordinary, the devil has a way of polluting the air in order to create chaos.

Psalms 133:1 says, *Look how good and how pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!*  As much as it lies in your hand, see to it that you walk in unity with your brethren.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I ask  that you fill me with  heavenly wisdom to walk in unity with those you have placed around me in Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
