The importance of unity

Greetings to you, my dear friends!Today I want to share with you on the importance of unity. Unity of goals and vision, unity of language and efforts always generate that great and powerful urge that is necessary for a project to succeed. This is precisely the thing that we see in this passage of Scripture:

“Then they said to one another, „Come let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. And they said, „Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, „Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” (Genesis 11:3-7).

This Scripture tells us that the people had one goal, they had one language, and they put forth a unified effort, and it says about them that “now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them”. God said that because of their unity they would be successful in everything that they do. In the Bible God often speaks to His people about unity. Unity is a very important key that allows us as God’s people or the Church to fulfill the will of God and our calling in this earth.A united and consolidated team will always succeed! That is why Satan so fervently fights against the unity of God’s people. Satan works extremely hard to obstruct understanding between people, causing them to grow apart so that the work of God and the establishment of His Kingdom in this earth do not go on. Today God wants to say to each of us that it is very important to strive towards unity and towards becoming one team that has decided to establish the Kingdom of God.Are you a part of God’s team? What is your place on this team? Are you trying to understand its vision? Are you putting forth effort to reach the goals that are set before your team so that the Kingdom of God may be established? This is the word of God for today: do your best so that the unity of this team would be preserved. Pride, selfishness, sin are common hindrances in the making of a team. Think about it today and ask yourself this question: are you putting forth the necessary effort to maintain the unity of your church?May God bless you today! Until tomorrow! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye
