We are also enjoying a higher level of unity in the church today. I believe the Pentecost Sunday '95 effort was instrumental in helping to bring about a greater measure of unity among us. If you help another skier you are lowering your own chances of winning. I am personally concerned that in the United Pentecostal Church we too often consider our fellow-pastor across town to be the competition. Together we can make a difference.
Unity is our most powerful asset.
On the other hand, when we choose to work independently of our brethren, or when we manifest an uncooperative spirit, we are inviting failure. The real enemy is the devil . . . But, you alone can make the decision to work in harmony and appreciate your brethren. The bigger man is not the one who gets his way all the time. The bigger man, in God's eyes, is the one who preserves the unity and does what is best for the Kingdom.
