FOSTER PEACE, NOT DIVISION

11/10/2026

“So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.” Romans 14:19 (NLT)

Nothing happens by chance, especially miracles, signs, and wonders. God desires to manifest His power among His people, but we must also be intentional about creating an atmosphere that reflects His nature.

The miracles of God in a church are not merely about what happens on the platform; they are also connected to the love, unity, and harmony among His people. This is why love and unity must be non-negotiable. We cannot celebrate the presence of God while embracing attitudes that contradict His nature.

James 3:16 says, “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.”

Child of God, do not underestimate the power of unity. Your words, attitudes, and actions matters a lot. They have the ability to either strengthen the atmosphere of faith or create room for division. 

Psalm 133:1–3 tells us how good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters live together in unity. The Scripture compares this unity to the precious anointing oil poured upon Aaron and concludes that there the Lord commands His blessing. This shows us the importance God places on living in harmony.

You must therefore be intentional about keeping peace with others. In 2 Corinthians 2:11, the Bible warns us not to be ignorant of Satan's schemes. The context reminds us of the importance of forgiveness. Unforgiveness and bitterness can give the enemy an opportunity to cause division.

Remember, people are not perfect. They will sometimes disappoint you, but you must learn to respond with love and forgiveness rather than judgment, gossip and bitterness.

Proverbs 6:16–19 tells us that God hates the person who sows discord among brethren. Therefore, do not entertain gossip or conversations that speak negatively about others. When someone has an issue with another person, encourage them to speak directly to that person instead of spreading the matter around.

Jesus gave us this instruction in Matthew 18:15–17. He said that when someone offends you, go to that person privately and address the matter. If it is not resolved, involve others who can help. This is God's way of handling disagreements and restoring relationships.

Today, I encourage you: Do not destroy what God is building in and around you. Choose to promote peace rather than division. Let your words encourage others, your actions express love, and your attitude reflect Christ.

Be a builder, not a destroyer. Pursue peace and build others up.

God Bless You!
