The Power of Unity

In the apostle John’s gospel chapter 17 and verses 20 through 26 Jesus prayed for all believers (that’s us) that we would walk in unity so that the world would believe in Jesus. Paul exhorted us to: “keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace”, and to pursue the: “unity of the faith” (Eph 4:3, 13; KJV). He said: “Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind” (Phil 2:2). In other words, we must walk in the unity the Spirit brings, walk in God’s love, and pursue peace and the one faith in Christ that we all have; be in agreement.

We should never grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph 4:30). Unity will only come as we humble ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit and to teach us from God’s word and change us.  In that beautiful Psalm of unity, Psalm 133, we are clearly shown that God loves unity and that the blessings of God come with unity.

In the early church, unity heralded the coming of the Holy Spirit, with signs, wonders and miracles. Many people were added to that early church, a church characterized by great grace and powerful preaching (Acts 2:46; 4:32; 5:12). Do you get the point?

We should search our hearts; do we contribute to unity or do we stand in the way?
