Working in unity Part 3: Kingdoms of the earth

Working in unity Part 3: Kingdoms of the earth(Which kingdom do you belong to?)Scripture:📖 Genesis 11:3-4 NKJV“Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.””This message contrasts the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of man, and the kingdom of Satan, using the story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) and the calling of Abram (Genesis 12). The people of Babel were preserved from the flood because of Noah’s relationship with God, but their sinful nature remained untouched. Without redemption, pride quickly surfaced. Pride has been central to sin since the fall of Adam and Eve, when humanity desired independence from God rather than obedience to Him.The serpent’s deception in Genesis 3 planted doubt, encouraging Adam and Eve to act apart from God with promises of self-exaltation. That same message still echoes today—suggesting that disobedience to God leads to progress, freedom, and greatness. Babel reflected this mindset: “Let us make a name for ourselves.” It was unity without submission to God.There are three kingdoms at work in the world. When the kingdom of man operates without the Kingdom of God, the kingdom of Satan infiltrates it. Satan has no authority except what people give him through unbelief and disobedience. His nature is to exalt himself above God, as seen in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. In contrast, Jesus taught us to pray for God’s kingdom and will to be established on earth.God has given humanity a powerful weapon against Satan: the Name of Jesus and the Blood of Jesus. Our warfare is spiritual, not physical, and through Christ we can pull down every proud thought that opposes God (2 Corinthians 10:3–6).Nimrod and the people of Babel used the right tools but with the wrong heart—building independently of God. Abram, however, responded to God with an uncalculated “yes.” He left everything in faith, trusting God to make his name great. From this point, the kingdom of Genesis 11 (self-made) stands in conflict with the kingdom of Genesis 12 (God-made).Babel sought to gain the world while losing their soul; Abram was willing to lose all to gain God. Faith, not self-effort, pleases God. Without faith it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6). God rejected Babel’s work because it was built without faith, but He approved Abram because of his trust in Him.Key Truth: A fallen world needs a Savior, not self-made greatness. Faith in God is the foundation of true unity and lasting impact.Which Kingdom Do You Belong To?Today the question is not about unity, progress, intelligence, or ability. The question is which kingdom do you belong to? The people of Babel were united, skilled, and strategic—but they built without God. Abram had no plan, no structure, and no certainty—yet he had faith, and that faith pleased God.Many today are building lives, careers, families, and even ministries while quietly leaving God out. Self-made success may look impressive, but without God it leads to emptiness. You can gain the world and still lose your soul. God is not impressed by towers built in pride; He is drawn to hearts surrendered in faith.Right now, God is calling people the way He called Abram: “Come out… and trust Me.” He is calling you to step away from independence, pride, fear, and self-reliance, and to give Him an uncalculated yes. This is not about religion; it is about surrender. Not about making a name for yourself, but allowing God to write His name over your life.This moment is for you.Jesus is standing at the door of your heart. He is not asking for your perfection—He is asking for your faith. Step out, come forward, and surrender your life to Him. Today, choose the Kingdom that lasts forever.
