Division

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This scripture is a reminder that some struggles are spiritual. The spirit of division is running amok. We are divided by class and wealth. We are divided by our race. We are divided by our religion. We are divided in our homes. We are divided by our education. There is division everywhere. We need to recognize it, call it out and address it. The cure for the division is unity. It is recognizing that we are all God’s children. We all are created equal. We all bleed red. We all are the same and we have more in common than we think.

Division

Matthew 18:19 (KJV) Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

There is power in numbers. We were never meant to walk this road alone. In fact, God’s word state that when two or more are gathered in his name, what they ask will be granted. Sure, there are other stipulations, but look at the power of agreement. Our friendships have power because of agreement. Our relationships have power because of agreement. We are empowered because of agreement. Yet so many us lack this power because we want to be independent. We want to do it all by ourselves. We let division win.
