Unity

Unity is said to be one of the vital cords that binds people together. The only thing that brings peace among people is the character of unity. I once read a very fascinating story about a certain rich man and his three sons.

This rich man was very wealthy and has a lot of properties like farms, firms, schools and other things. When the man was alive he used to advice his children about the merits and imperatives of living in unity because his sons used to fight all the time. Unfortunately for them death met their father and he went to the land of the ancestors.

Now the sons were to manage the properties and all the wealth of their father. They started well in the beginning but as time goes on they began to show up this sore behaviour of disunity. This led them to the sharing of their father's property and each one of them left to his own way. As time went on they all misused their portion and even one of them ended in death. Before his death he had a severe stomach attach but his brothers turned death ears to him. After the death of their brother they realised they made a great mistake, so they reconciled to each other.

This story gave me a profound lesson on the essence of living in unity. Unity is the basis of a successful life. Without unity we cannot be successful in this life. This confirms the adage, "two heads are better than one".
Let's all adapt the attitude of living in unity. It will help us to achieve our goals and purposes in life. Even the bible in Genesis 11 tells us about the power of unity. All the people around the world were one people and of one accord. The Lord even said these people are one and nothing can stop them from what they have planned to do. This connotes the power of oneness which even God cannot overlooked.

Brothers let us all live in unity to achieve success in life.
