But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of
God and keep it!”
“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a
house divided against a house falls. If Satan also is divided against himself,
how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. And
if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out?
Therefore they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons with the finger of
God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man, fully
armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than
he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armour in which
he trusted, and divides his spoils. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he
who does not gather with Me scatters.
The power at work in us does not divide but makes us a
family of strangers.
A family of strangers with one goal that by the power in us have learnt to love
one another.
We do not come in race; social economic status or education; but
by the Power of the Spirit at work in us and through us we come in the name of
Jesus.
It is fervent prayer that we would keepers of the Word.
I was tempted to copy and paste verses 37-54 but I
ask you to read and apply to our own journeys..
We often think of ourselves as better than the
lawyers; the pharisees; and tax collectors but the lessons aimed at them
are our lessons too.
Our Lord is always looking to build not to destroy.
In
whatever sphere of influence we find ourselves in let us always remember to
build just as our Saviour did.
