TOPIC: The Law Of Unity

MEMORISE
Now l beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1 Corinthians 1:10

READ: Genesis 11:1-8

11 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

RCCG Open Heaven Daily Devotional MESSAGE

The law of unity is one of the most amazing laws that God set up on the earth. The Bible states that one will chase one thousand and two will chase ten thousand (Deuteronomy 32:30). This doesn’t make any sense mathematically, but I have found it to be true.

Jesus said in Matthew 18: 19 that if two people shall agree concerning a thing, it shall be done by His Father in heaven.

In other words. if you have prayed and are yet to get an answer, find someone to agree with you in prayers, and you will receive the answer.

In Psalms 155:1-2, the unity amongst brethren is likened to the anointing. Unity is a very powerful force; it is so powerful that even the Holy Spirit did not descend until the disciples were in one accord in the Upper Room (Acts 2:1-4).

You will never achieve certain things until you apply the law of unity to it. A husband and wife who are always fighting are denying themselves of many great things.

If they can only humble themselves, resolve their differences, and agree as one, they will become a great force against all their problems, and nothing will be beyond their reach.

Church members always gossiping about each other or quarrelling amongst themselves and don’t know what they are losing.

In our Bible reading for today, some people came together to build a tower that would reach heaven. God saw them and said that they would achieve their goal because they were united.

This was thousands of years ago when there was hardly any technology. In other words, God was saying that even without adequate resources, unity alone was enough for those people to build such a tower.

In the early days of RCCG, we had no money. We didn’t even have money to pay all the staff, but we were very united.

As a result. we did many great things including building the greatest auditorium at that time. There is absolutely no gain in being divided.

Matthew 12:25 says a house divided against itself shall not stand. Whenever the devil wants to destroy a move of God or hinder Christians from achieving something, he sows discord among them.

One of the many reasons I bless God for the wife He gave to me is that she is always facilitating unity everywhere she goes. She is always bringing people together; never allowing disunity in any group she belongs.

Even with my extended family. she is a binding force. She will never allow anybody to carry a long face around her, whatever the problem is must be solved before anybody goes to bed that day.

That quality is a divine gift that has been a great blessing to my life and ministry.

Never give room for disunity. Don’t let the devil win

PRAYER POINT
Please pray for my wife that the Lord will continue to bless and use her mightily, as she celebrates her birthday today.
