And the whole earth was of one language and of one accent and mode of expression. Gen 11:1 (AMP) What do you think would have happened if God had not multiplied and mixed up the language of the people who were building the tower at Babel? Would that tower have actually reached heaven? Well, the Lord said that nothing could be restrained from the people as long as they could imagine it. The UNSTOPPABLE force of unity. Can you even begin to imagine what the world would be like today if the Church spoke the same language; If in spite of our denominations, we could still come together to achieve one purpose – the establishment and advancement of God’s Kingdom. I believe that was the kind of Church that Jesus had in mind as he prayed in John 17: 20 – 21 My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. Apostle Paul was surprised when this epidemic of disunity broke out in the Corinthian church. Some were promoting the gospel according to Apollos, while others were promoting the gospel according to Paul. If only we can look through his eyes and say what he said: “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.” The focus should be on this God who makes things grow. If only we can stop advertising our denominations when we evangelize and actually spread the gospel according to Jesus Christ. This is our commission as soldiers of the cross. Where did we start going off our original course? God please let your spirit break out and break our walls down. Let Jesus be our focus and let our one goal be the advancement of God’s Kingdom. Let your glory fall.
