Condition of the Church: Divided we stand. The enemy of Jehovah has plotted against the Almighty since Lucifer’s original rebellion to divide Yahweh’s allies, isolate them, destroy them, and prevent Yahweh from later promoting a kingdom building plan to restore Eden. The satan has employed every craft to conquer the Church, but especially division. Sadly, unity has often become a byword for compromise and betrayal of the Truth, but from the beginning, it was not so. The Church has lost sight of the Truth: This earthly kingdom is only a picture of the True Union Yahweh desires with His people. “The kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21 KJV). The satan cannot ultimately defeat the Almighty, but he can forestall God’s judgment. “Now I 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” (1Corinthians 1:10). Only God’s Spirit can unify His fractured body. LORD, teach us to depend upon Your Spirit for all things and cease to divide between secular and sacred. Show us how to give You preeminence in all things, especially where our intellectual prejudice thinks we know better. Humble us. Teach us. And, Lord Jesus, do come quickly. Amen and amen.
