Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 2 March 2020 – The Power of Unity
Topic: The Power of Unity
Scripture: Judges 1:1-10
Message: The tribe of Judah invited their brethren – the tribe of Simeon – to join them to wage war against some of the Canaanite nations around their inheritance. Together, they made swift raids that gave them resounding victories. Mighty kings like Adoni-Bezek were subdued and made to pay for their past sins(v.7). Judah knew that they could achieve little fighting alone. “How could one chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had surrendered them?” (Deut. 32:30).
Nehemiah received the vision of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. He did the survey and the preliminary work alone but he had to involve people for the actual execution. That got the project completed in 52 days(Neh. 6:15). Many of us do not achieve much, either for God or for ourselves, because we love to do it alone.
Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 2 March 2020 – Out of selfishness and out of the desire to take the glory alone, many of us struggle with our vision. The vision may have come to you alone but you may need to share it to achieve more. Working alone delays projects. The Tower of Babel progressed fast because of unity that even God observed(Gen. 11:6). Do you wish to do great things for God this year and beyond, look for credible partners?
Prayer: Oh Lord, may you help me to identify credible partners to work with as to achieve greater things for you.
