How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
– Psalm 133:1(NLT)
WHEN HARMONY PREVAILS
A poem and essay by ILMA
As people choose to live in peace
They will start to see its benefit
When someone follow God’s word
They’ll have a weapon against this world.
As a believer gets deeper into his relationship
He will grow with other believers in fellowship
It is wonderful to live together in harmony
When there’s unity in Christ, there’ll be victory.

One of the many reasons for relationship breakdowns is disunity. The devil’s tactic is to lure us into thinking that we are always right. He wants us to think that everyone else is wrong but us. He is the father of all lies and he always plays cunning tricks on our minds. A little whisper in our minds that compromises our cravings can be easily used against us to create disunity. The devil wants us to focus on our self instead of on God. He will use anything to keep us in conflict with others.
I lived many years in conflict with those I have relationships with. I was kept captive by the enemy to think that many people were out to get me and so I had trust issues. It made it hard for relationships to thrive because of such mistrust and suspicion I had towards others. I learned to live in harmony with others when God revealed to me the truth.
