While there may be unionism in unity, there may not be unity in unionism. People may form a union to achieve a common goal but they may not be in unity. Just like the formation of All Progressive Party in Nigeria in 2014. The party was formed by a union of several political parties and other aggrieved members of People’s Democratic Party, with a common goal of wrestling power from the incumbent President Jonathan – a common enemy. The union succeeded in their goal but hardly have they won the election when Nigerians began to see the disunity among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">Unity is a strong force that can get anything achieved under heaven (Genesis 11:5-7). In-fact the strongest force in heaven and earth is unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">Unity is so important that it was the main theme and focus of the last high priestly prayer of the Lord Jesus for the Church before going to the cross (Jhn.17:11-26).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">Unity is a sacrosanct to growth and progress. Truly the benefits of being united and working together cannot be over-emphasized. The unity among the ants both preserves them safely and enables them to do great exploits. The unity of the ants can kill a python, turn a king or a president of a nation to a mad man in the market, can disarm a strong and ferocious soldier and naked a bride in a public.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">The most potent and greatest weapon of the devil against the Church of God on earth is disunity. Ho! What a great thing it would be if as a Church a community of believers or a family would endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph.4:1-3). This is a great lesson the Church, the family and community must learn from the ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">I have taken time to study different set of creations, I see disenchantment, disunity, fighting and rancor among them but never have I seen any of these among the ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">Like the ants, the early Church was in unity, they were in one accord in the upper room at Jerusalem (Acts 1:14), “in the spirit of unity or one accordness in one place” they were baptized in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:1-3). The unity brought an exponential growth through the power of the Holy Ghost about 8,000 people were added to the Church within three (3) days. These lived in unity as a community of believers. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house…….” (Acts 2:42-47).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">And like the ants, they were of one heart, no segregation, no classification, no tribalism or ethnocentrism, neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things in common” (Acts 5:1-11), then the Hellenists came up with reports of neglect and segregation (Act 6:1), and since then, it has been a battle till today.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">Believers must learn this great lesson from the ants so that we can do exploits and achieve greatly for the Master before the final whistle is blown.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":153,"text":154,"type":136,"level":148},"9f9ed5cf-6729-4c34-a670-f9406cc3f3a8","SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION",{"id":156,"text":157,"type":141},"f76c243a-5f7c-4fdb-b216-825aa8618612","\u003Cp class=\"text-align-justify\">To keep the unity of the body of Christ, we must endeavor, that is to say we must struggle or strive by every means possible to do this.
