[1] Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: 
[2] and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: 
[3] and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? 
[4] And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: 
[5] and he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him. 
[6] This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

We have learnt about the causes of unity and some of its negative effects. Today, we will consider the fruits of unity.

The first fruit of unity is that it makes it possible for people to work together for a common goal. Amos 3:3 says, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed." Marriage, career, ministry, friendship, partnership and collaborations will not yield the right dividend if the partners involved are not united in purpose and going in the same direction. Matthew 18:19-20 further underscores an important benefit of unity, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, There I am in the midst of them." It shows that the Lord loves and encourages unity among the brethren. Similarly, on the day of Pentecost, the Bible affirms that there was an atmosphere of unity that marked the arrival or descent of the Blessed Holy Spirit. The Bible says that the disciples were all with one accord in one place (Acts 2:1). In Philippians 1:27, Paul enjoined us to stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.

The second fruit of unity is that it produces strength. There is strength in unity. Those who are united will stand, upheld by the hand of the Almighty while those who are divided will fall. In Judges 20:11, the Bible records that the army of Israel were gathered against the city of the Benjamites and were knit or united together as one man. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 and 12 says, "Two are better than one... for if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow. If one prevail against him, two shall withstand the foe and a three-fold cord is not... broken."

The third dividend of unity is called the good fruit of united outreach. In Acts 2:1-2 and 41, the believers were all with one accord in one place and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. In addition, they witnessed and 3,000 souls were saved.

Beloved, now you can see why Jesus prayed for the unity of the Church in John 17:11, 21-23. We should be one body, working together unitedly!
