But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. Luke 11:17 ESV
Strategies of warfare in history included divide and conquer. Set up your enemies to fight among themselves and you can conquer them. Jesus said that every kingdom, ruler ship, dominion, authority structure divided against itself will not stand, and even a divided household falls. Yet so many household don't live in harmony. They want a happy life but they keep shouting at each other. They want peace and quiet but they can not treat each other as civilized people. They wanted to prosper but they treat outsiders better than they treat family members. They can say and dream all they want but until and unless a family is united, and they actually exert effort for the unity of that family, it will fall. We say family matters, and as believers, next to out relationship with Jesus, wife comes next, kids comes next, then church... May we actually protect these relationships in order of priority. 3 Nov
