Let Their Be No Divisions In The Church, Rather Be In One Mind, United In Thought And Purpose

1 CORINTHIANS 1:10
“Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
”‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭NKJV‬

Paul in his second missionary journey founded the church in Corinth. But just eighteen months after he left, divisions arose within the church and some members slipped back into an immoral life-style.
Paul wrote this letter to address the problems and to clear up any confusion about right or wrong, that they would remove the immortality from among them, and that they would walk together in unity, sharing the same message of the Kingdom of God.
Christian unity, is not about appearances, rather it is unity in belief, direction, and the bond of mutual love and esteem (EPHESIANS 4:14-16).
Today, we have a divided church and many have closed their doors completely.
Over six thousand churches have closed throughout Europe in the last few years.
Many say politics and religion doesn’t work, but our governments are supposed to stand upon the shoulders of Jesus Christ (ISAIAH 9:6).
Sadly this attitude is systematically destroying our world.
We are seeing more and more corruption in church, government and world leadership who are even promoting immortality in our schools.
Rather than holding our world leaders accountable and maintaining high moral standards, much of our church leadership are at best standing back, or at worst, joining them.
We see the church accepting sexual immorality, same sex marriage and so much more immorality as acceptable and justice will come upon those who promote such things.
Surely it is time for the church to reunite and stand for what is right.
We cannot sit back and allow our moral standards to slip away.
Today, our world leaders are using propaganda as a tool of control, taking away our human rights, even our freedom of speech.
Now is the time to say no! Now is the time to join together in prayer and battle the spiritual source that is bringing so much corruption and division in our church .
It is not surprising that we are seeing an increase in mental health issues, anxiety/ depression, and even suicides in our schools and communities more than ever before.
Therefore, “Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
