Unity is Controlled by God - 2 Chronicles 29-32

2 Chronicles 30:12 (ESV Strong's)
The hand of God was also on Judah to give them one heart to do what the king and the princes commanded by the word of the Lord.

Unity is Controlled by God

There is a lot of money spent in our country on the aspect of “teamwork.”    There are gurus and magicians that change big dollars to help teams work together.   Any successful sport team has at its core teamwork.    One of the best examples of teamwork might be a negative experience for mankind, but a great example of the strength of teamwork.  In fact, this group was so united, God had to disperse them to make sure they didn’t use the unity He provided for the wrong spiritual and moral purpose:

Genesis 11:1-7 (ESV Strong's)
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.”

Or, consider the unity that Aaron used when Moses was in the mountain getting the Ten Commandments from God.  They were so united they created a golden calf and had a party to celebrate.  

In the above passage in Chronicles we read that God gave them a unifying spirit centered around the Passover.  It says He gave them “one-heart” to serve him.   That is what we need to accomplish the mission of the kingdom today.  We need one heart that God can give us.  We can accomplish great things with one heart. Here is how Jesus prayed it before He went on the cross to provide it:

John 17:11 (ESV Strong's)
And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

Jesus wants unity in the Church.  He died to supply it.  Help us to be one.
