MEMORY VERSE: “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” – Psalm 133:1
TEXT: Psalm 133:1-3
1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3. As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
INTRODUCTION:
Unity is a powerful force in the universe; it can accomplish almost everything on the face of the earth. In Genesis 11:5-6 God said, that if the people on the earth were left with one language and as united as they were in building the city and tower, they will be unstoppable. The united are unstoppable; they are adorned with exploits. They achieve what others cannot. The death sentence on the Jews in the days of Esther was reversed by the power of unity as they cried unto God for divine intervention.
TEXT REVIEW: Psalm 133:1-3
i. God releases His blessings upon His United Children.
ii. Unity is pleasurable.
iii. Unity yield fast and great result.
iv. Unity is divine.
v. United we stand, divided we fall.
