(Matthew 5:9) "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of GOD". Divide and conquer is one of satans most effective strategies for hindering the effectiveness of any effort undertaken by two or more people. He knows the power, synergy and blessings that result when we work in harmony; therefore he makes every effort to bring division. Sometimes it is hard to believe there are people who deliberately engage in bringing dissension. I had a cousin who had experienced much domestic turmoil durning her childhood years. Later at our family gatherings, she was not satisfied until she had pick a fight or maneuvered somebody into an argument with another person. Being a peace-breaker seemed to make her happier than enjoying family. Dissension and division were so ingrained in her that she embraced them as normal. She professed a relationship with GOD but her behavior overshadowed her claim. (Proverbs 6:19) "Seven things that the LORD detests; among them is a man who stir up dissension among brothers". We cannot afford to be IGNORANT of satan's tactics to keep us at odds with each other. He set traps all the time cause he know that conflict, unforgiveness and discord is a blessing blocker. Have u used ur tongue to sow discord? Know that anytime u tell another person something negative that someone else has said about him, ur action will probably causes division. This is not to say that u should avoid warning a person about another who is not acting in his best interests. But do it in truth and with the right motives, if u have been using ur tongue a a tool of divisiveness, are u ready to repent for this sin?
(Today's Affirmation): I will make every effort to speak words that engender peace and to refrain from any communication that creates disunity.
Be blessed today! Try to walk in peace and give no place to the devil. Blessed are the peacemakers for they are the people of GOD!
