Philippians 2:2, Unity

[pppp]

Philippians 2:2 
Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

[pppp]

There is a deeper issue,
which many believers are facing.
One of the issues which believers are facing is differences leading to opposing each other thus leading to disunity.
The earth can never be like Heaven,
because Heaven is perfect with God at the center & all the Angelic beings who are pure, without any form of ungodliness.

But the earth has got negatives.
Some are influenced by Satan & his evil beings & others who believe in God are inspired by His Word.
Because of Satan, there is much pain & suffering.
And the innocent suffer.
It's not that good people don't see what's happening. They do & try very hard to remove this suffering.
Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't.

But when they can't they really need help from their fellow Christians.
If there is unity, then Christians will help each other & where there is lack of unity,
Christians begin to suffer.
That is why Satan wants the Christian people to get divided.
And Satan does not stop at this.

He & his evil beings influence some,  to become greedy for finances, power & disobedience against God.
Those who get swayed become like Satan,
those who choose remain inspired by The Word of God, remain upright,
 its the upright who through their light, shared kindness & compassion, their unity & adherence to The Word bring about a change in the  conditions of sorrow & suffering in the world.
The earth never promised a path of rose petals rather paths of thorns & brambles.
When did life ever promise rainbows & days of good weather.

Ever since Satan was thrown down from Heaven, he vowed to deceive humanity & cause as much pain & suffering as was possible.
But just because there are storms, will there never be good weather,
just because there will be thorns, will there never be rose petals,
just because there is the passing away of people, will there never be resurrection,
just because there is Satan .....there was always & forever will be God, Amen.
But since the earth is full of sorrow & pain,
it does not mean that believers will keep struggling.

The Nephilim were taken away in the flood, but still Satan's Nephilim remain,
as darkness which covers the earth.
And by leading people with greed & disobedience,
he leads people astray.

But The Word of God,
is a lamp in the stormy weathers,
it enables believers to remain calm & yet with resilience, courage & inner strength in their hearts & souls, & to move ahead with Christ's  light to lead them.
Satan often brings challenges to believers to defeat them,
but are the believers in Christ so weak? NO. Instead with every challenge that darkness prresents, believers become stronger & more resilient,
because these two qualities are given by Christ Himself.


Did God ever leave His people? God never left His people,
but those who have left him have plunged into sorrow,
yet those who continue to believe in Him,
though they may suffer but together & united they can withstand even the harshest storms.
What can greed for power & money really buy?
They can't buy anything except temporary peace & joy but what they take away is far greater.
Greed for money & power leads to disobedience.
And wealth gained from disobedience to light & obedience to darkness,
though looks reassuring for a while but later takes away the real joy & peace which obedience to God brings.

That is why all those who are faithful to Christ,
must stay together,
togetherness of God's people is truly blessed.
when believers are together, Satan trembles & hell shakes,
when believers stand united, it disrupts the evil & dark schemes of Satan,
& staying united leads to blessings.
Those who walk away from Christ stand alone,
but those who are equally yoked with Christ,
remain united with each other as well,
they help each other,
walk together through thick & thin,
& survive every hardship together.
And that is true gain.

The earth can never be like Heaven, but it can be something like that by continuing to  believe in Christ, staying together,
remaining calm & peaceful in the harshest situations created by Satan,
& yet with the guidance of Christ,
His supernatural resilience, inner strength, determination & courage,
believers can move ahead to remove the darkness of Satan by the light of Christ,
Amen.
