Article 4: The Locust: Unity in the Spirit

“The locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank.” (Proverbs 30:27, ESV)

Locusts, though without a king, move together as one. Their unity makes them invincible. In the body of Christ, unity is not about formal organization, but about being led by the Spirit. “One puts a thousand to flight, two put ten thousand to flight” (Deuteronomy 32:30).

We need a basic loyalty to what God is doing – to the Spirit, not just to tradition or structure. Like the tools in a carpenter’s hand, each of us has a unique role, but together we build God’s temple.

Let us be inseparable, moving forward in synergistic action. In diversity, we go together.

Prayer: 

Holy Spirit, unite us as Your people. Help us to value each other’s gifts and to move forward as one body. Let us be loyal to Your leading above all else. Amen.
