In his song, One Of Us, Bob Fitts wrote, “just one of us can put a thousand to flight, then two of us can send the legions fleeing, just one of us can put a thousand to flight, then two of us can rout evil principalities!” This song is about strength and power in unity. United we stand, divided we fall. A very important truth about fighting the enemy is that we need to fight him together, not alone. The devil loves to destroy our unity, divide us and get us to be out on our own with no fellow believers standing with us. He would try every way and means to achieve this. He would tell us lies about each other, discourage us, disturb us through in-fighting, through sickness, through laziness, personal sin, etc. etc. An affected believer would begin to go to church and cell group meetings infrequently. He or she would begin to avoid too much contact with church friends before and after church services, coming after the service has started and leaving before the service ends. Finally, the victimized believer stops going to church altogether because she has allowed whatever is bothering her to destroy her from within. As you begin your walk with God today, beware of the enemy’s devices and choose to hang around and spend quality time with fellow believers. Choose to go to church even when you don’t feel like it. Do not stop attending cell group meetings because of a disappointment which is exactly what the devil wants you to do. Persevere in true Christian fellowship and God will honor your determination and bring healing and restoration to you. Enjoy Him, love Him, serve Him.
“7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. 8 Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.” (Lev.26:7,8)

Today’s recommended video: Here’s a song that talks about what we believe in, great words to pronounce too ……
One Of Us (Bob Fitts)
Just one of us can put a thousand to flight, then two of us can send the legions fleeing
Just one of us can put a thousand to flight, then two of us can rout evil principalities
Oh, and there are many of us here exalting the Name of the Lord
And in His Name we declare a victory in spiritual war
We bind the powers of the air by wielding the Word as a sword
