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.
