define unity.. The state or quality of being one; singleness. 2. The state or quality of being in accord; harmony. 3. a. The combination or arrangement of parts into a whole;
this has to be with a body of believers .working together for a common cause . the book of Nehemiah is a great place to start. as Nehemiah home town was destroyed walls down timbers burned etc. it bothered him to the point even the king could see it. he was granted permission to go view the carnage . he went by him self and soon he got folks involved .
so to have unity in a group there must be a leader with a vision. next those who are willing to work must have a vision also. proverbs 29:18 Where there is no revelation,[a] the people cast off restraint;
But happy is he who keeps the law.
Nehemiah was a visionary he was able to get a group of people to work together. they built the wall and had a mind to work.
if GOD is in the vision (out reach programs) building the church in numbers , grow in grace and knowledge. the holy spirit will empower this to happen. unity can only come if every body is in agreement . here is some scriptures on unity
Ephesians 4:2-4
King James Version (KJV)
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Ephesians 4:11-14
King James Version (KJV)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;---{leaders wiling to work with every body}
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
so often in groups every body had ideas and soon the body can fall apart as everybody wants to do there own thing.
the Bible says a house divided against it self can not stand. if people are not of the same mind to work. unity will not take place. this day and age it is very hard to keep the spirit of unity. mainly due to us getting in the way.
what ever project your taking on .. don't give up hope*:yes
