GOD SHALL BRING A GREAT DIVISION, A GREAT SEPARATION By: Major Frank Materu
Key Scripture:
Matthew 10:34-36 (KJV)
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."

INTRODUCTION
In the times we are living in, God is bringing about a great separation. Many have built their confidence on systems, ideologies, and structures of men, yet the Lord is calling His people to stand firm upon His Word and truth. This message is a divine warning and encouragement that as God moves in His power, a great division will occur—separating the righteous from the wicked, the faithful from the unbelieving.
The Lord is calling His people to unwavering faith, obedience, and separation from the works of darkness. Those who stand firm on His Word shall see His power manifest, while those who cling to the world will be left in confusion and destruction.

BELIEVE IN GOD AND HIS POWER OVER DEMONS
Mark 16:17 (KJV)
"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues."
The power of God is evident in those who believe in Him and stand upon His Word. Many fail to walk in victory because of unbelief. When we truly believe and declare God’s name, demonic powers are defeated and cast underfoot. However, when people choose to entertain the lies of the enemy, they align themselves with darkness and lose their authority over demons.

OBEDIENCE BRINGS CLARITY, DISOBEDIENCE BRINGS CONFUSION
Deuteronomy 28:1 (KJV)
"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth."
A clear mind is a result of obedience to God. Those who walk in partial obedience or make excuses find themselves in confusion. The Lord is calling His people to complete obedience, for when we obey, we walk in the clarity of His will and direction.

GOD WILL BRING A GREAT DIVISION
Luke 12:51 (KJV)
"Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division."
God is shaking the foundations of the earth and causing a great division. Things that seemed immovable will be shattered. Even relationships will be tested as God separates the true from the false. Many will stand in awe as systems and institutions crumble before their eyes.

DO NOT TRUST IN THE SYSTEMS OF MEN
Isaiah 31:1 (KJV)
"Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!"
Many have placed their trust in human institutions, thinking they will last forever. But the Lord declares that He will bring down everything that is not built on His foundation. He is calling His people to trust in Him alone, for He alone remains unshaken.

A GREAT OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT
Joel 2:28 (KJV)
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."
Even in the midst of chaos, God promises a great outpouring of His Spirit. This move will not be controlled by men but will rise from unexpected places. It will be a revival led by the Spirit, bringing transformation to those who remain faithful.
