The human spirit is an extremely powerful force to be reckoned with on its own, it doesn`t know when to give up, no matter what you throw at it, like a boomerang it will come back stronger, ready to take on the next challenge. I am a fan of super hero movies like Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, X-men etc, it is here where you see how powerful the human spirit is, when they fight evil without giving up, even when facing incredibly strong opposition.
Now being fully equipped with the above knowledge, now imagine the power that one human spirit possesses, and then think of the incredible power that would be on display when two or more people decide to join forces and become one, they would be unstoppable, unshaken and unrelenting in whatever they decide to do.
In the book of Genesis 11:1-9, the power unity was clearly portrayed when a city and a tower brought different people together for a common goal. They found a piece of land and in one accord the decided to build a city that would exhibit the tallest tower (skyscraper) in the world at the time. Before they started building everything they said “Come, let us build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous…”
I have to hand it to them, they became one in spirit, set out a clear target, made a plan to achieve it, and they executed relentlessly with extreme focus, diligence and determination. The power of unity is mighty strong and once two more people come into agreement, it is absolutely difficult to come in between them, unless they themselves allow it to happen. They stuck together like conjoined twins and made what seemed to be impossible happen, which is what unity does. When a certain situation, task, project seems to be impossible to handle or complete alone, it will be a lot easier to accomplish when approached by two or more people.
A certain political party of this country, has a slogan that if executed would set up this country into a force to be reckoned with globally. It goes like this, “working together, we can do more”, I would slightly revise it and say, by working together as a country we could achieve great feats, if and only when we are unified, attaining that which is unprecedented in this day and age.
If there is one thing the devil specializes in, it has to be sowing division among human beings, it is something that we see happening in the verse mentioned above, God divided their unity by making them speak different languages. For many eons, divide and conquer has always been and will always be the ultimate battle strategy in any type of war.
If we are to do extraordinary things in this life and beyond, they won`t be accomplished by going at it alone, it needs us to be united. One of the great serial entrepreneurs of our generation Steve Jobs said, “Great things in business are never done by one person“, no man is an island in this world, we only accomplish phenomenal exploits by standing up together as one.
