A House Divided Cannot Stand

Mark 3:25

²⁵And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Mt. 12:25

²⁵And 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

Amos 3:3

³Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Philippians 2:2

²Fulfil you my joy, that you be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

ONE = H259 (from Strong’s Hebrew & Greek Dictionaries)

Properly united, that is, one; or (as an ordinal) first: - a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any (-thing), apiece, a certain [dai-] ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.

ACCORD = G3661 (from Strong’s Hebrew & Greek Dictionaries)
ὁμοθυμαδόν
homothumadon
hom-oth-oo-mad-on'
Adverb from a compound of the base of G3674 and G2372; unanimously: - with one accord (mind).

=========================================================

We need to be ‘on the same page’. We all need to be in ONE MIND and ONE ACCORD. God can not bless the church if we are in divided. Simple as that. The church will fall.

I did a search on “one accord” and came up with 14 verses. It MUST be important to God if it was mentioned this much.

Take a look for yourself:

Jos 9:2  That they gathered themselves together… with one accord.

Act 1:14  These all continued with one accord

Act 2:1  … they were all with one accord

Act 2:46  And they, continuing daily with one accord

Act 4:24  … they lifted up their voice to God with one accord

Act 5:12  …and they were all with one accord

Act 7:57  …and ran upon him with one accord

Act 8:6  And the people with one accord…

Act 15:25  …being assembled  with one accord, to send chosen men unto you

Act 19:29  …they rushed with one accord

Php 2:2  …being of one accord, of one mind

========================================================

There should not be division in a church.

Simple as that.

Go To The Other Side

^{I thought I would give us all a little reminder…}

^{Matthew 8:18}

¹⁸ When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he told his followers to go to the other side of the lake.

Did you notice that?

Jesus said “GO TO THE OTHER SIDE”

Here is the rest of the story…

²³ Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him.²⁴ A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping.²⁵ His followers went to him and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We will drown!"

²⁶ Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith." Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm.

What about us?

Do we have enough faith to make it to the other side of the trial we are going through?

Don’t we realize that Jesus has promised us that we will make it to the other side?

Matthew 6:30-32

³⁰ God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So you can be even more sure that God will clothe you. Don't have so little faith!³¹ Don't worry and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'³² The people who don't know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in heaven knows you need them.

Philippians 4:5-7

⁵ Let everyone see that you are gentle and kind. The Lord is coming soon.⁶ Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks.⁷ And God's peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Don’t worry!

But PRAY!

Ask God for what you need in faith & give thanks! Praise Him for what He has done for you! God is so good to us even when we are in the lowest valley, He is faithful to us!

Are we faithful to Him?

When everything in life is going great, we shout from the mountain tops & praise Him… but what happens when we are down in the deepest valley?

Do we say,

“Hallelujah Jesus!”

“Thank you Lord!”

“Glory to God!”

We should. Because look at where He has brought us from

My worst day as a believer is better than any of my best day’s were when I was lost.

Jesus will not leave you to sink. He will get you to the other side.
