THE DAILY FOUNTAIN

DAILY DEVOTIONAL OF THE

CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2024

(Trinity 20)

TOPIC: THE SEVEN BLESSINGS OF UNITY

READ: PSALM 133: 1-3 (NKJV)

133:1. A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] For brethren to dwell together in unity!

133:2. [It is] like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments.

133:3. [It is] like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing — Life forevermore.

THE MESSAGE:

The absence of unity in the society has brought uncountable ills and consequences to all fabrics oflife today. The Scriptures lay great emphasis on unity and God also testified about what unity can achieve in the building of the tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 6). Jesus taught that a house divided against itself will surely collapse (Matthew 12: 25) and prayed for the unity of His Church (John 17: 11). Apostle Paul enjoins believers to “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond ofpeace (Ephesians 4: 3).

The benefits of unity in today’s text are:

1. Good and pleasant relationships (verse 1),

2. Healing and peace (verse 2),

3. Positive impact on every part or member ofthe body (verse 2),

4. Enables followers to enjoy blessings of leaders (verse 2),

5. Attracts material blessings (verse 3; cf. Genesis 27: 28 – dew of Harmon is like the dew of heaven,

6. Makes God to command His blessings of peace, joy, good health, progress, victory over enemies and prosperity (verse 3; 1 Samuel 11: 7c),

7. Leads to abundant life, both here and hereafter (verse 3).

We must repent today in any way we have been used to bring disunity where we are. We must intentionally seek and pursue things that promote unity in the body of Christ. It is only in Christ that we can find real unity.

PRAYER: We pray for unity in our families, Churches and nation, O Lord!
