Division is not always bad
Growth comes in many ways
Christ caused division everywhere He went (John 7:43; 9:16; 10:19)
He even acknowledged that He had come
Into the world to bring division (Luke 12:51)

When two ministers of the Gospel collide
They should not expel the thought of simplicity
Often the purpose is to divide and
Multiply at the same time…

Romans 16:17 is often misquoted
"Mark them which cause divisions and avoid them."
That is not what Paul says—
We are to mark and avoid those who
"cause divisions and offenses contrary to [sound] doctrine...."

This principle should rectify
Some thoughts upon division
Here, the Holy Spirit has an opportunity
To solidify the widespread of the Gospel
In order to extend the Kingdom as we
Draw close to His side by fulfilling
The life of His bride

When doctrine is despised today—it is one of the clearest signs of
The last-days apostasy, which is growing at an alarming rate—

Let us simplify the issue
Nothing can go to waste
People’s lives are at stake and so
Friendships at times might be sacrificed for a season
We might not fully understand the reason but we must
Know that the Lord’s purpose has respect for nobody!

Let us continue to magnify the Lord
In the face of division, loss of friendship and
Marriage disorders—
The Gospel has a ‘wonderful border’ and
Nothing will deprave its order,
The book of Acts gives us a vital clue so
Let us get the facts straight

When two ministers of the Gospel collide
They should not expel the thought of simplicity
Often the purpose is to divide and
Multiply at the same time…

Let us not fear DIVISION because the
Gospel of the Kingdom has respect for NOBODY
Christ caused division everywhere He went (John 7:43; 9:16; 10:19)
He even acknowledged that He had come
Into the world to bring division (Luke 12:51)
