Pro17:14 “Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.”
Contention creates an environment where confusion and every evil work can thrive. When believers engage in strife, it does not only halts momentum but also opens the door for further discord and dysfunction.Where envying and strife is, there is confusion and evil work thrives.”
Unity multiplies our efforts making our work more effective and fruitful. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.”Psalm 133:1-3: says “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.”
To overcome contention and build synergy, we must actively pursue virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, and love. By considering others above ourselves and looking out for their interests, we can foster a harmonious and productive community. Contention disrupts momentum and destroys synergy, hindering the body of Christ from fulfilling its mission effectively. By embracing unity, humility, and love, we can overcome strife and create an environment where God’s blessings flow. Let us commit to being peacemakers, fostering unity, and working together in harmony for the glory of God.
