Divisive - creating dissension or discord which is strong disagreement or lack of harmony.
I've heard it said that God's Kingdom is like math, God will add and multiply for His Kingdom, while satan will subtract and divide to try and break it apart.
I see the destructive effects of this use of the tongue daily. In my workplace, my immediate and extended family and sadly in the church.
Deborah Pegue writes, ' Divide and conquer is one of Satan's most effective strategies for hindering the effectiveness of any effort undertaken by two or more people. He knows the power, synergy and blessings that result when we work in harmony; therefore, he makes every effort to bring division.'
In Proverbs 6 it lists seven things the Lord detests, vs 19 says 'a man who stirs up dissension among brothers'.
To God disunity is serious business. Are you bringing peace or division by the words you speak?
Speaking the Truth
'Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.' Ephesians 4:2,3
'Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy...' Hebrews 12:14a
