[Luke 11:17-26 KJV] “But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. [18] If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub”.
[19] “And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. [20] But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you”.
[21] “When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: [22] But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils”.
[23] “He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. [24] When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out”.
[25] “And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. [26] Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first,”.
The Lord taught in no uncertain terms that any kingdom that is divided against itself cannot stand, and He admonished us to take a cue from devils and learn to network to create synergy. The Lord said demons don’t fight themselves, they rather collaborate to accomplish their purpose. This is the time and season for us to network and collaborate to create synergy.
The whole church must operate like a choir, we must operate in resonance. Whatever is happening here must create some ripple effect there. We are one body and members one of another. This is the time for partnership and collaboration. We are one church in many locations.
You may be strong, armed, and vigilant but if one stronger than you overpower you, he will take away your armour and divide your spoil. This is the time to collaborate to create a fortress. Two are better than one, they have a better reward for their labours. When one is overpowered, two shall withstand, but a threefold cord is not easily broken. We must collaborate and be there for each other.
The selfishness must stop, the fighting must stop, the segregation must stop. We must stand by each other. We must begin to continue together, then the fear of God will reign among us.
Devils don’t take chances. One will collaborate with six more wicked devils. They connect and network with stronger and more deadly partners. We can win over them by learning from them.
It is important to remember that it is the lesser that seeks the collaboration of the greater, not the other way round. This is the time to learn humility and connect with higher graces.
Stay blessed; I love you!
