Mark 4:19 (KJV)
[19] And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
The cares of this life!
Can rob you of your energy and attention toward God!
The Word Is Precious Take Care Of It!

Matthew 18:21-22 (KJV)
[21] ¶ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? [22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Sins against me are the greatest threat to Unity in the Church!
We’re concerned about overall sin… We’re alarmed about sin against the Church… We’re aghast about sin against God… We’re appalled about sin that breaks God’s laws… But… We’re Almost Unforgivable When Your Sin Is “Against Me”
The Greatest Enemy to Unity Is What You’ve Done To Me!

1 Peter 4:11
Romans 16:17 (KJV)
[17] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Some troubles are a part of life…
Some troubles we create…
Some troubles we chase…
And Some Troubles Can Be Avoided!
Be A Part of The Solution
Not The Problem!
Don’t Repeat What Cannot Be Changed
But Rather
Change What Shouldn’t Be Repeated.

Galatians 5:15-16 (KJV)
[15] But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.[16] This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
When your personal opinions and feelings supersede Unity of the Church then your Church will be Consumed…
Unity is Power!
Division is Destructive…
You Choose Your Own Outcome!

1 Corinthians 1:10 (KJV)
[10] Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
“Divide and Conquer”
A device that is very old and successful!
The devil knows that if he can just divide us as a church we will be as salt with no saltiness…worthless!
Unity Is Our Anointing
Division Will Be Our Destruction…

1 Peter 4:11
Psalms 68:19 (KJV)
[19] Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
Selah means to pause in the psalmist song!
But scripturally God wants the singer and hearer to Pause and Reflect, reflect on what has just been said!
Today take a moment, pause and reflect on this scripture!
Wow what a great God!

Proverbs 24:1-2 (KJV)
[1] Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. [2] For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
You may find Good in anything but God doesn’t!
Evil negates all good.
The very thing you admire may very well expose you to a contamination you can’t escape!
