Division is of the devil

And unity is of the Lord.

As born-again Christians, we are called to let our light shine within this world. We are also encouraged to love one another. But If we fail to exhibit this secured connection as Christians, we are out of the loop with the Lord. Division is of the devil. God’s plans for all nations equals togetherness, which is nothing short of unity of faith, which by the way, is strength in numbers. But when there is a disconnect between two parties, a breach has occurred.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abide in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. {John 15:5-7}

In other words, unless we are connected to the vine, which is Jesus the Christ of God; we are then separated from the nourishment that is delivered to our minds and souls on a daily basis. Without this connection, we are susceptible to develop a mind replete with uncertainty, otherwise, known as division. When we are connected, we have strength through the connections and prayer of the other believers. Meaning, we are not alone. The word brethren in the scripture below means “other Christians.”

BRETHREN, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are Spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another’s burden, and so fulfil the law of Christ. {Galatians 6:1-2}

However, if you find anyone who is confused and fighting against the word and power of the Lord, well then, such folk have been conformed to the ways of this sinful nation. The other side of this equation is the devil and his wicked demonic children of deception. Listen, standing along the side of the devil means such folks have been duped to be some simple-minded souls, ones who either lost their way or they never knew the direction because of rejection.

BLESSETH is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. {Psalm 1:1}

So then, division can come about when two parties have an opposing point of view. Meaning to say, one does not want to be a part of the new direction. In other words, wickedness wants to have its way, but morality say it is the ungodly path which ultimately leads people down the path of deprivation. People who clearly stand with what is right and moral are the folk we can attach ourselves to. But when it comes to those who are only in the situation for self-gain at the expense of others, saved people can never stand or agree when they see death in the form of division.

Let us look at the Black Lives Matter movement for a moment. After all the murders and finally the protest, now suddenly, the government wants to find a peaceful solution to the killing of black people, which they knew about for decades, but did nothing. Also, let us not forget about the so-called media whose only desire is to tell and show what they want the people to see and hear. It was not until our Caucasian brothers and sisters were finally fed up by way of that undeniable murder of George Floyd (that No one except people who are clearly connected to the ungodly counsel could deny) that this was plain murder with the world as a secondary witness viewing the footage. But all those who have rejected the ungodly counsel, now they are standing with us in this fight, and I pray it is until the end of this way of life for the people who reject the way of morality and Justice.

Listen, people, listen, my brethren. This too shall pass, and they will find another way to continue the killing. This my friend is not a divisional statement, but it is a divine warning. With this being said, I admonish you to get connected to the vine and live through the next wave of deprivation. Unity brings everyone into the direction of good and fairness. Without divine unity, the perfect common denominator in the situation, then there will be no hope for unity whatsoever. As of this very day, many Politicians are jockeying for first position without any regard for the welfare of the people that they are supposed to be serving. Listen, no lives matter to them, it is just one cause they are concerned about and it is rooted deep within self-executive order. This is clearly a breach of honesty, integrity, and morality. Once more, I am compelled to reiterate to you again, that it is truly clear with the Bible, that where there is no vision the people will perish. Therefore, if God is not our leader, we are lost and need to prepare ourselves for another round of disappointments. Division is a built-up deep wall of deflection for billions of people who have been hoodwinked by the devil. Listen, even a blind man can notice that we are now without leaders who are bound by moral fortitude And the other sad part of this situation is the fact that we do not have a visible Christian leader standing up, one with power that is. Listen, when it is pertaining to God the Father, all lives matter. That is why He sent His only son down to this earth to be an example and then die for the sins of this world.

For God so love this world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. {John 3:16-21}

That is why He sent his only begotten son that whosoever believes Him should not perish but have everlasting life, but what we see today is billions of people who have rejected God and His plan consistently. Despite God’s warnings and His grace and His mercy, they still choose to be separated from Him, and when you were separated from the people or the persons who are caring for you, you’ll become vulnerable because you know longer have protection in this realm. Therefore, without unity, you cannot help but become a person of division, because you have been separated from the truth. So, now here comes the lies flooding into your unconverted mind, heart, and soul, and now you are no longer represented by the truth. The Bible says:

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. {James 1:8} For let not that man think he shall receive anything from the Lord. {James 1:7}

This is meaning to say that when a person has two thoughts (one good and one bad), and all they know is negativity, they will act upon that negativity in every situation that they encounter. Like the looters as their actions make the legitimacy look bad at first glance. Such folk have been corrupted by the devil through evil communication.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. {1 Corinthians 15:33-34}

Once more, saved people cannot sit, stand, or walk in the counsel of the ungodly because you will be corrupted through the tool called emotions, and anger. At that point it will be truly clear that the light of Jesus is not within you. On the other hand, people who know God and have tasted that he is good, and His mercy endures forever, they know that when a storm comes, God can calm the storm. They know that they can hold on; they know that there is nothing that God cannot do. They know what they know because they have a connection to God because they have not been separated; therefore, they cannot become confused about what is going on around them. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. {Proverbs 3:7-8}

If I had a conclusion, it might go like this: God is a Father who gives love and protection to all His people. He is also a God who sits on high and looks down on the earth that He created. He is fully aware of what is taking place down here, and that is what He sent his son down here to be the example. Again, He did not come to condemn us but to show us through a living example that we could live a saved life and be the only moral compass that this world must be guided by. But when we as Christians, the light of the world, do not stand so that we can clearly be seen, well then, we have failed the Lord and we are walking in the counsel of the ungodly. So, then division comes from a man not being in compliance with the will of the Lord. Apart from unity, condemnation of what is right for the nation will be fought against. Because unconverted people are lovers of pleasure and haters of God; therefore, killing people is the norm in their minds without any remorse unless they are caught. This is why it is especially important not to align yourself with anyone or anything that is not of a unity nature. So, let us not forget, not even for one moment that for everyone that doeth evil and hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that hide deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God. In other words, division keeps us in the dark, and the word says, “what does light have to do with the dark?” Which means that when the light you are born again to as Christians is around, the devil should not be having his way because you do have power from on high, unless you have been around the ungodly, and then have been corrupted. The Bible says this: “First bind the strong man and then you can take all that he has in his house.” In other words, when you have been conformed to this world the devil has subdued you, and you are disconnected from the vine. Please understand this is no accident but your own will in play that has you caught in this division trap. With God, all things are possible, but without Him you are on your own alone in the land of division. So now listen, when the times comes, I believe every born-again believer should take a stand and look the devil in the eye and say, “enough is enough leave God’s people alone.” We cannot disregard the sinful people on this earth, but we can stand in the gap for them. The key word is STAND IN THE GAP FOR THIS WORLD… Politicians who are not moral should not hold office because they will never help us but only hurt us. So, you know what to do when the times comes. The people must use their voices and lawful action in order to bring about real change in this this nation. But do not be fooled nothing can change without us pleasing God first.

I pray that these words have blessed you to the point that you can now consider salvation as real, and then take the step to become persons that the Lord wants to use as vessels of honor.
