How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe (Psalms 133:1-2 NLT). Something happens when people can live together with a common goal, in peace and harmony. This scripture compares it with the anointing. That the action of choosing to cooperate in unity makes the anointing from God available. Therefore, we can expect everything the anointing can do to be present when there is true unity.
The bible exalts the need for unity of purpose and harmony within groups. The Acts of the Apostles talks about how the early Church was united in hearts and minds and made it clear that was why they grew as fast as they did. This is also something that has been observed in modern times. The work is better in quality and quantity when the people operate in unity. Modern business establishments pay a lot of attention to staff morale and try to reduce any negative energy between team members. When organisations fail, you can always be sure that the unity and “team spirit” was lost.
If you are serious about doing great things, you must first make peace with the idea that you cannot do it alone. You will need to work with people. Then, you must decide to work with others in an environment of unity and harmony. We all have to share a bond, a strong connection around some well defined purpose. These are the requirements for building something great. It is useful to remember that when we cooperate with each other in unity and harmony, the power of God is made available in our midst. Unity makes anything achievable, anything is possible.
