UNITY!......
how shall we find it, how shall we have it, what shall it cost us???
- Is it cheap, costly or free???... 2 Corinthians 9:7-11.
Where there is unity, there will always be sacrifice.. I am
talking about true unity, the only unity that will stand the test of time and weather all
battles .. in the home, ministry, church, society or nation… Philippians 3:7.
In Australia at present and I would expect it to be no different anywhere
else in the world there is a type of unity, it is not the real thing but only a type ..
the devil satan is a specialist in the (look alike business).
In the USA at present we have moslems, roman caltholics, baptists, buddhists and who knows
who else in the one room together called love and unity. You can also add to the small
list the aboriginal faith, they too have their god, they call ..the rainbow serpent ..
Revelation 20:1-3.
This is the unity and love that will amount to nothing in the end, only a miserable life
in hell fire for eternity ... 2 John 9-11.
- Cross bearers can never have unity with compromisers ..
sooner or later the life of the cross bearer will offend and stir the compromiser to anger
and even physical violence.. remember what they did to Jesus the Christ, they hung Him on
a tree ... the sacrificial lamb, so we could have unity with Father.
- Cross bearers can never have unity with the lukewarm ..when
the lukewarm look at the cross bearers all they see is these poor pitiful servants that
have no honor from men nor do they have the goods of this world in abundance, sooner or
later they shall depart company for good, even eternity.. Luke 16:19-21.
When the cross bearer looks upon the lukewarm religious people of the world ... all they
see are people who have never grown up and never given up their lives for the one who gave
His life for them. The cross bearer weeps for the laodecian church attendees... Jeremiah
4:22.
- Cross bearers can not have unity, true unity with pharisees
.. the cross bearer is bold and raw in his ways while the pharisee is forever thinking on
how he may interpret the holy bible .. pleasing man and God. The cross bearer is a man
that answers with a yes or no and a pharisee always searches for the most convenient reply
lest he fall out with the highly esteemed by men. Sooner or later they will lock swords
and the line will be drawn.. Luke 16:14-15.
- Cross bearers are not able to have unity with other religions
all because holy ghost convicts them that if they were to betray the faith, the doctrine
of Lord Jesus the Christ .. they may have the fellowship of many hypocrites but they will
have no place in t e celestial city neither any part with the Christ. They would not be
true servants but false... 2 Corinthians 6:11-18.
- Cross bearers despise money, therefore money lovers
despise the cross bearer for they know that they are not able to buy the souls of these
cross bearing servants, they can not afford them .. this is an offense to the money lovers
and it will be very quick for these two to become enemies.. Matt 6:24.
- Cross bearers are forever looking to serve the Christ and
His kingdom where the selfish are forever wanting to serve themselves a bigger slice of
this present life and its dainties, the cross bearer will never keep company with the
selfish .. he will flee, lest the disease strike him also. A little leaven will leaven the
whole lump... 1 Corinthians 15:33,34.
- The cross bearer will never make light work of the straight
road, lest the pilgrim take his ease and stray but the mere professor of christianity
will always make concessions for sin and slackness toward the master for after all the
OSAS, once saved always saved teachers don't dare talk of the requirement and condition of
carrying a cross in order to enter the kingdom of God. Hence the cross bearer has no time
for the wide road ministers and ministries, churches and synagogues... Hebrews 2:3.
- Cross bearers are partakers of His holiness therefore are
very much content with Him alone and have no need to look to the left, and the right but
look to Him. There is no room for prosperity preaching with the cross bearer because he is
convinced that the reproach of the Christ is greater riches than the riches of Egypt. The
covetous can not sit in the assembly of the cross bearer and visa versa... Hebrews
12:10.
- The cross bearer has clarity of mind, because he carries
his cross while the love and unity seekers are filled with confusion from the souls of
their feet to the tips of their hair. Their doctrines change by the years and they are
tossed to and fro with every entertainer that hits town. All because they say my will be
done. The cross bearer will never receive counsel from such a one as this... Psalm
60:1-3.
- The cross bearer will always find that he has the greatest
friend in the universe in the Christ therefore will cease from being a man pleaser and die
daily that he may draw nearer to Him whom he loves with all of his being .. the man
pleaser and the woman pleaser will only ever know Jesus by name and story but never in
intimacy .. for they have no cross.. 1 Corinth 2:2
