THE GLORY OF UNITY (PART 3)
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.
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 true
glory of a place or a group of people can never be actualized until they choose
to walk together in unity. There is nothing that destroys a place as much as
when people are more passionate about their selfish gain than in the collective
progress of all. When in a body or organization people are more concern about
their personal gain they may on their own make great progress but it will
create a great imbalance in the body or organization because eventually there
will arise a serious class mentality. When this is the case a strong disparity
between the rich and poor, the high class and the low class will become a
concern. In this place, peace is not easy to come by as some people will always
have something to complain about.
It is
therefore imperative for every one of us to do all we can within our power to
promote unity. It is true that some persons may want to make this an impossible
mission for you but that notwithstanding, you must try to do all you can to
promote peace and harmonious living for in this is a greater blessing.
