TOPIC: THE BLESSINGS OF UNITY
MEMORIZE: “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.” Psalm 133:2.
SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 133:1-3
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 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. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing-Life forevermore.”
EXPOSITION:
Being united in oneness of purpose as brethren is an act of obedience to God. It surely carries the blessings of God. The proof of the excellency of brotherly love and unity is that loving people are blessed people. For,
1. THEY ARE BLESSED OF GOD, AND THEREFORE BLESSED INDEED: There, where brethren dwell together in unity, the Lord commands the blessing, an abundant blessing, including all blessings. It is God's prerogative to command the blessing, man can but beg a blessing. Blessings according to the promise are commanded blessings, for he has commanded his covenant forever. Blessings that take effect are commanded blessings, for he speaks and it is done.
2. THEY ARE EVERLASTINGLY BLESSED. The blessing which God commands on those that dwell in love and godly unity is life for evermore; that is the blessing of blessings. Those that dwell in love not only dwell in God, but do already dwell in heaven. For God is love. As the perfection of love is the blessedness of heaven, so the sincerity of love is the earnest of that blessedness. Those that live in love, unity and peace shall have the God of love and peace with them now, and they shall be with him shortly, with him forever, in the world of endless love, unity and peace. How good then is it, and how pleasant! It has no equal. Therefore, the life of love and unity worths paying any price whatsoever to gain it.
Example of brotherly love and unity that existed between David and Jonathan is a good example of unity God is expecting fro the Church. It is the pattern of oneness which rescues one’s partner from evil. Where there is true love and sincere unity, there is peace and security.
PRAYER POINT: Lord, unite us together in sincere love and truth to experience the wonders of your blessings in Jesus name.
