UNITY
REVIVAL AND
P
In Genesis 11:1-9, the people of the world united to build a city and tower (the tower of babel). They were succeeding to such a degree, it concerned God Himself. So much so, He came down and confused their languages so they couldn’t communicate to complete the tower. Why? Because they were doing it for selfish, demonic and evil purposes. Now, if godless, sinful, evil people can unite and succeed in doing such a great thing for godless, sinful, evil purposes, how much more will God cause us (the Church) to succeed when we unite to pray, intercede, praise, worship and do the work of the kingdom.
salm 133:1 (NKJV), “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” Mark 29:18 (NKJV), “If a kindom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”
Unity is ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT in the kingdom of God. Jesus Himself, as well as the devil, fully understands the power of unity. Unity is so important, even satan strives to maintain unity in his own ranks while attempting to destroy it in marriages, families, relationships and churches. The word of God states in Matthew 12:25-28 (NKJV), “But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.”
18 / UNITY AND REVIVAL
When the early church (the church of the book of Acts), were united in spirit, mind, vision, purpose, prayer, intercession, praise and worship, the Holy Spirit moved through them on the day of Pentecost to bring the first, greatest revival to Jerusalem, Israel and the world (Acts 2:44, Acts 4:32). Notice, in Genesis 11:1-9, God confused the languages of the people so they could not be united to build the tower. However, in Acts 2:44, God gave the Church one language (the gift of tongues) which united them to preach ------the Gospel.
