THE GLORY OF UNITY (PART 4)

THE GLORY OF UNITY (PART 4) June 11^th

TEXT: Psalm 133:1-3 (KJV)
¹  Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
²  It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
³  As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

The power and force of unity is second to none. When a man operate in his own ability he is able to achieve some result but when it is a coming together of several abilities and gifting there is almost nothing that will be impossible for them to accomplish. That’s why our text for today started with a call to attention “Behold” and ended with an exclamation.

The writer then went on to compare the effect and power of unity with the sacred anointing oil poured on the head of the holy priest of Israel Aaron. It also gave an indication that unity would become possible and effective when it flows from the head of the leader. This shows that it is much more possible for a home to be united when the father promotes unity, a body or group will be able to work in unity when the leader of the group or unit is actively involved in promoting this unity, A church is likely to work together with other churches when the pastor is not apprehensive about his members being snatched by another pastor and a nation would be more progressive when the leaders are people interested in the progress of all than in their selfish agenda. When this happens, the tranquillity that comes from unity will cause an unusual blessing to rest over the place like the dew of Hermon upon mount Zion. And it ended with these words “there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.”  When we get to this point “there” we will begin to see the true blessing of unity. If you truly love life and wish to be blessed, then you should do all you can to promote unity because there are blessings you will not be able to walk in until you get to the place of unity. Go for it and go for it with all your heart and might.
