A house divided can not stand!

Have you ever noticed how hard it is to complete a task even if it is picking out a vacation spot or what movie to watch for family time when no one can get on the same page? It is extremely difficult. Now imagine if everyone was always for themselves in every aspect of life. Wouldn't it be hard to get anything accomplished if it was every person for themselves? There is so much power in unity. There is so much power in being on one accord. "Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?"~Amos3:3 Great things can be accomplished when two come together and do what God has directed them to do. The word of God reminds us that if two are gathered in His name He is there in their midst! "For where two or three gather together as my followers,[a] I am there among them.”~Matthew18:20 I don't know about you but that is where I want to be.

A house divided can not and will not stand! "If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand."~Mark3:25 We have to understand that this applies to any house. This applies to our spiritual house. As believers of Christ our bodies are His temple. "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."~1Corinthians6:19-20 That means we can not confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and continue to feed our flesh with foolishness through what we watch, what we hear, and what we do. A house divided can not stand applies for our church house. We can not allow foolishness to cause us to be divided. We can not be mad at sister Jones because she always wears hats and you can't see the choir because of it. We can't be mad at brother Ross because he claps off beat. We can't get mad at the preacher because you were hoping to be at lunch by a certain time and when they preach it always take forever in your mind. A house divided can not stand applies to our natural homes. There can not be strife against the husband and wife. Or against brother and sister. There has to be unity or the house will be divided and will eventually be destroyed!

There is so much power in coming together on one accord. Coming together with one voice is powerful. Coming together with one agenda is powerful. When we come together with a common purpose and that purpose is to exalt the name of Jesus mountains will be moved and strong holds will be pulled down. When we come together and are all on one accord with a made up mind that if God said it we believe it and that settles it we will see God move like never before! When we rise up and uplift our brother and our sister with the love of Christ, God will be glorified and the house of God will be transformed into what He desires for it to be. When the body of Christ gets on one accord we will see the miracles, the signs, and the wonders that the Bible speaks so clearly of.

It is time my friend for us to be on one accord and be about our father's business! It is time to lay aside foolishness and any and everything that would cause us to be divided against one another! It is time to go forth with boldness in love and declare that you will uplift your sister and brother. Declare that you will stand in the gap for your neighbor. It is time to lay a firm foundation in Christ Jesus so that when the storms come and when the trials come your house will stand! It is time my friend to rise up to where Christ desires for us to be. It is time out for selfish gain. We can not and will not do all that God desires for us to do all by ourselves! It is time to yoke up with other believers and call upon the name of Jesus and move when he says move and stand when He says stand! A house divided can not stand, but a house rooted and anchored by the word of God will flourish in the knowledge of Christ! Remember a house divided will eventually lead to a house that is destroyed!
