Matthew 12:25 “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”
One kingdom cannot stand in two parts. Envision a mighty kingdom, separated into two smaller kingdoms by being divided through confusion, or hatred, or greed, or jealousy… Now, when the kingdom is ONE, it is mighty; it is able to withstand attack from the enemy and able to defend itself and be victorious! However, once the kingdom becomes divided against itself, the divisions of the kingdom are vulnerable to attack and will not stand firm against the enemy.
It is the same in life! When we are strong in our faith and our homes/lives are governed by the power of the Spirit of God and are motivated by the love that only comes from Him, we are able to stand tall against Satan and boldly declare WE SHALL OVERCOME YOU BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY!! (Rev. 12:11) A house that is divided falls victim to the world, but a house that stands as one remains victorious through the promise of the King.
We can be together but yet divided or we can be separated and still be as one. When we follow God’s commands, we always stand as one.
