A HOUSE UNDIVIDED (2)

“ANY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL BE RUINED, AND A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL FALL.” LUKE 11:17

The Importance of Unity in the Bible.

IF YOU TAKE DIVISION LIGHTLY, YOU CANNOT SAY, YOU TAKE UNITY SERIOUSLY.

People all around the Church are taking Division lightly.

Why? They are calling it perspective or opinion.

Some of us have exalted our own opinion above what God says.

I don’t know where or when we as followers of Christ have believed that our opinion is greater than Gods.

Social media, the way we were raised.

That our thoughts are greater than HIS.

DIVISION IS DEMONIC

We are going to see it in scripture.

No Human being can prove that being divisive is Godly of Sciptural.

We are seeing everywhere in the church.

WE HAVE TO BE REMINDED JUST HOW DANGEROUS DIVISION REALLY IS, BUT ALSO JUST HOW POWERFUL UNTIY IS.

GALATIANS 5:19-21 NLT

19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

All these sins are in the same bucket in Gods eyes.

Do we look acting at people or ourselves

2. THE ATTITUDE OF DIVISIVENESS IS A HEART WHICH CONTAINS JEALOUSLY AND SELFISHNESS

James 3:14–16 LEB

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.

This is far more serious than we can see. We don’t pay attention to it. DIVISION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU 3 THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO COME INTO AGREEMENT ON.

SO WE CAN KICK THE SPIRIT OF DIVISION IN THE TEETH.

WE DO IT BY WALKING IN THE SPIRIT OF UNITY.

THE CHURCH MUST AGREE AND BELIEVE ON WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT DIVISION.

GENESIS 3:1

“The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”

THE DEVIL IS A TERM - THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE -DIABLOS

IT SHARES A ROOT WITH ANOTHER VERB -

DIABLOLAIN. - SPLITTER

Satan in the garden divided Eve from the Truth.

Satan in the garden divided Adam from Eve.

Satan in the garden divided Adam and Eve from God.

Satan in the garden divided Adam and Eve from the Garden.
