GOD DISLIKES DISUNITY

  


By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi 

"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble."Ecclesiastes 4:9‭-‬10 NLTBible 

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12 NLTBible 

    The Lord wants us to dwell in unity , the body of believers is like the human body that can only function optimally when every part is functioning effectively and contributing its potentials to the other parts of the body. 

   Disunity is like losing a part of your body , this results in loss in strength and potentials and capacity to perform . The lord wants us to be united. " Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you." 2 Corinthians 13:11 NLTBible It is in unity we experience love and peace . 

God hates disunity . "There are six things the Lord hates— no, seven things he detests: a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family." Proverbs 6:16-19 NLTBible  Disunity is a major reason why prayers do not get answered . Under a state of disunity ,you cannot enjoy grace meaning you will be living by your strength. When Hagar was sent away due to disunity ,she soon ran out of divine purpose and out of strength , she was instructed of the Angel of the lord to return to her family . (Gen16:1-11) verses 9 -11 says her return will result in her multiplication. 

   Disunity opens doors for Satan and demons to wreck havoc amongst God's people. ( James 3:14,15) Unity makes it easy to achieve common goals . 

United families tend to make greater progress than disunited families. It is easier to win life's battles when united (Eccl 4:12, 1 Sam 14:6,7 ) 

  A united church will win more souls for the kingdom of God ." On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all." Acts of the Apostles 2:1‭-‬2‭, ‬41 NLTBible. 

   The early church was driven by a common goal : soul winning . It is important to reiterate family goals as much as possible . When goals are not known disunity is inevitable. 

 Jesus prayed that we be united as one  (John 17:11,21,22,) .". May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me." John 17:23 NLTBible  Disunity makes a mockery of our claims to being followers of Jesus Christ. The world cannot see Christ in a disunited family or church . False prophets prey on disunited families. They plunder their resources without sparing.

    We should be working together as a united body . " so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other."  Romans 12:5 NLTBible we belong to each other therefore there is no winner in any fight amongst members of the same family  . There should be no divisions because of sex , race , social standing . ( 1Cor. 12;13,Gal.3:28) 

Prayer: Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power for the promotion of peace and unity in Jesus name.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord....

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

Image
 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God wa...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

Image
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative...
