We&#8217;re to mirror the oneness between the Godhead which will serve as a witness to the world around us (Jn. 17:20-21). Satan, God&#8217;s enemy, doesn&#8217;t want that to happen so he will do want he can to thwart God&#8217;s purposes.<\/p>\n<h2>Ways the Enemy Gets Us to Avoid Coordinating with One Another<\/h2>\n<p>God specializes in bringing unity out of diversity. We&#8217;re better when we bring all of our differences together (1 Cor. 12:4-6, 12). But, Satan will scheme and try to deceive us into seeing coordination as a bad thing rather than the good God intends. He will try to get us to &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle; padding-left: 25px;\">\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">view our differences as liabilities rather than assets (Eph. 2:14-24)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">let disagreements destroy rather than learn from one another (Rom. 14:15-19)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">manipulate to get our way rather than speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:14-15, 22-27)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">think and act like we&#8217;re in control rather than looking to the One who is the Head who will unite us (Matt. 28:18; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:15-16)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">make the church according to our liking rather than God&#8217;s design of interdependence and unity (1 Cor. 12:12-27; Eph. 4:1-6)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">base coordination on common interests and comradeship rather than the fellowship we have in Christ (Phil. 2:1-4)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">compare and compete with one another rather than genuinely accept and affirm the part each one has in the Body (Eph. 4:16; Phil. 2:3-7)<\/li>\n<li>become cliquish rather than work toward the good of the whole (1 Cor. 12:27)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In so doing, we&#8217;re fighting each other rather than the real enemy (Eph. 6:12).<\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t Let Satan Outwit and Divide<\/h2>\n<p>Though Satan seeks to destroy unity so we don&#8217;t function as a coordinated whole, we can overcome. We don&#8217;t have to be rendered ineffective when we&#8217;re &#8220;strong in the Lord and His mighty power&#8221; (Eph. 6:10). Let&#8217;s do the following:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">Acknowledge the real source of disunity and don&#8217;t give the enemy a foothold. (Eph. 4:22-27; 6:10-12)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">Believe that God is greater than Satan so we do have power to overcome. (1 Jn. 4:4)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">Put aside worldly solutions and pull on God&#8217;s power to be the Church of His design. (2 Cor. 10:3-4; Eph. 6:10-13)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">Stay alert rather than merely coasting along expecting that everything will be okay. &#8220;Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.&#8221; (1 Pet. 5:8)<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\">Identify the lies and schemes of the devil and combat them with truth. (2 Cor. 10:5; Eph. 6:14)<\/li>\n<li>Resist the devil&#8217;s ploys by putting faith in the One who wins in the end.
