📖 Mark 3:24–25 (KJV) A Kingdom or House Divided

 

📖 Mark 3:24–25 (KJV):

“And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

“And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”

  • A kingdom torn by internal strife will collapse.

  • Jesus shows the absurdity of claiming Satan is working against himself.

📖 Daniel 2:44 (KJV):
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”

👉 Meaning: Earthly kingdoms fall when divided, but God’s kingdom stands forever.

“And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

  • Division destroys not only kingdoms, but also households.

  • Families, communities, and churches fall apart when torn by strife.

📖 Psalm 133:1 (KJV):
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”

📖 1 Corinthians 1:10 (KJV):
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”

👉 Meaning: Unity is essential for strength; division leads to ruin.

🙏 Reflective Prayer from Mark 3:24–25

Abba Father, in the name of Jesus,
I thank You for the wisdom of Christ’s words: “A kingdom divided cannot stand, and a house divided cannot stand.” Lord Jesus, keep me from division in my heart, in my home, and in the body of Christ.

Unite us under Your lordship. Where there is strife, bring peace. Where there is brokenness, bring restoration. Teach us to walk in humility and love, so that Your kingdom may be revealed through our unity.

Let my life, my family, and my church be houses that stand firm, built on the Rock that cannot be shaken.

In Jesus Almighty name, Amen.

Knowing God and Doing Exploits: A Study on Daniel 11:32

Daniel 11:32 (KJV): "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." In a world filled with deception, compromise, and spiritual battles, Daniel 11:32 offers a powerful contrast between those who fall away and those who remain steadfast in their faith. This verse reminds us that intimately knowing God results in spiritual strength and extraordinary action . Let’s dive deeper into what this means and how we can apply it in our lives today. 1. The Context of Daniel 11:32 The book of Daniel contains both historical prophecies and end-time revelations. Daniel 11 specifically details conflicts between powerful kingdoms, particularly focusing on the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a king who severely persecuted the Jewish people. The first half of the verse ( "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries" ) speaks about those who compromis...

The Tribe of Benjamin: A Warrior’s Legacy and Biblical Significance

  Introduction The tribe of Benjamin was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descending from Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob (Israel) and Rachel . Throughout biblical history, the Benjamites played a crucial role in warfare, leadership, and spiritual significance. Despite moments of near destruction, they remained resilient and left a lasting impact on both the Old and New Testaments. Key Characteristics of the Tribe of Benjamin A Warrior Tribe The Benjamites were known for their exceptional skill in battle.

Strategic Location Their land was centrally located, between Ephraim (north) and Judah (south) (Joshua 18:11-28). This position made them influential in politics, trade, and warfare. King Saul’s Tribe The first king of Israel, Saul , was a Benjami...

Five Ways to Hear God Speak to You

Hearing from God is a transformative experience that deepens one's faith and spiritual understanding. Here are five key practices supported by Scripture that can help you tune in to God's voice: 1. Remain Pure "Purity of heart leads to a clearer vision of God," as Jesus states in Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." To remain pure, one must strive to live a life free of sin and full of grace.
