Ecclesiastes 4:12
"And if one prevail against him, two shall
withstand him; and a threefold cord
is not quickly broken"
Solomon is pointing out the advantages of companionship, as he presents the illustration to show how God in mercy provides help to those who will depend on Him. In Ecclesiastes 4:9-11, Solomon explains examples how this concept of companionship is beneficial. He shows that there are definite advantages to working together. He also revealed how terrible the circumstances would be if one had to face adversity alone.
This concept of unity and working together is show throughout the Scriptures. From the time of creation, God provided companionship by making a help for Adam (Gen. 2:18). Even Christ, in the commissioning of His disciples, sent them "two by two" (Luke 10:1-3). He knew that they would face adversity and persecution from the world. Churches and Believers today has some what forgotten this concept of companionship that God has given us. This my friends is a very important help that God has given to us. However, since creation man has so easily ignored this concept of "unity with God as the body of believers" and have no care for one another as we should. Churches let's pull together and put "unity" back in God's House and our own as well. Amen!!
