THE POWER OF ONENESS
By Josimar Salum
“And the Lord shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be— “The Lord is One,” And His name One.” Zechariah 14:9 NKJV
““Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One!” Deuteronomy 6:4 NKJV
The word Lord here is YAHWEH, not Alah, not even God in English.
Yahweh shall be King over all the earth.
One of the funniest verses in the Bible for me is this :
“Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; *I know not one.’ *”” Isaiah 44:8 NKJV
Yahweh is ONE - that is the point !
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24 NKJV
“But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.” Malachi 2:15 NKJV
I am going beyond the concept of unity, I am sharing Yahweh’s revelation of Oneness - as One.
Unity is like a fleet - a group of ships sailing together, engaged in the same activity, or under the same ownership, or under one commander.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!” Psalms 133:1 NKJV
Dwell together in unity literally means being shoulder to shoulder, rubbing each other, side by side.
“It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments.” Psalms 133:2 NKJV
What part of the body gets more oil?
The feet — all oil runs from the head, runs down and accumulates at the feet. The servant hearts are more anointed than anybody else.
What about oneness?
Let me say what it is as simple as I can.
Potatoes are units, let us see each of us like potatoes.
Unity is the state of being united or joined as a whole. Like a bag of potatoes, but a unity you can identify each potato separately, individually. Each one is still each one.
Oneness is getting all these potatoes, to smash them, and put them in a pan of mashed potatoes. Now they are more than united, they are ONE. As one there is no more separate or independent units. They are ONE.
Our Father is ONE.
Jesus said there will be One Shepherd and One Flock .
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:4, 6 NKJV
He is in us all, as One.
““I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;
21 - that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
22 - And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:
23 - I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” John 17:20-23 NKJV
We manifest Unity through relationships,
We manifest Oneness being who Our Father is.
Our Father is ONE.
I don’t see the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as three. I believe the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is not a heresy !
But the Scripture says they are ONE. If they are One they are not three. At least I see them as ONE. And we should live, function, operate, testify, as ONE.
As One we are like God. Don’t be offended, please ! Let us check this out in the Bible.
“7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.” I John 4:7, 11, 16-17 NKJV
