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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
