24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom
cannot stand. 25 And if a house be
divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Mark 3:24-25
We live in a world where unity is far from the minds and
hearts of the people. After all, the
people cannot unite outside with others because there is no unity in the
homes. If the head which should be the
father (if present in the home) or mother (if no father is present) must teach
unity within the home first so that when the family goes outside of the home,
they will know how to work with others.
This is one reason a house divided cannot stand if everyone is pulling
in different directions!
Remember, if we are not united within our homes, we cannot
unite in the body of Christ. For
example, when Euodia and Syntyche had a disagreement in the church, they were
pressed to rectify their disagreement because of their role as leaders that
help spread the Good News near and far.
If these two had not rectified the issue and realized that unity was
more important than their disagreement, many people would have been delayed in
knowing Who Christ is. It’s important to
be unified rather than divided because others are affected by what we do.
What we do behind closed doors will display when we open the
doors. Let’s strive daily to bring unity
in our homes so that when we step outside of the home, true unity will not be
hard to see.
God is calling for the head of the homes to unite the
families because if not, we cannot unify His Kingdom.
