Let’s move into another divine principle from Joshua 4.
“Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe.”— Joshua 4:2 (NKJV)
This wasn’t just administrative—it was prophetic.
It’s not just history—it’s a life lesson.
Write this down: God is a God of unity and equal representation.
He didn’t ask for twelve random men. He asked for one from each tribe.
He didn’t say, “Give me two from Judah, because that’s where Jesus is coming from.” No, He said, one from each.
📖 Unity Reflects God’s Heart
The tribes were different—Judah, Issachar, Ephraim, Benjamin, and more. But to God, they were one nation.
He chose one man from every tribe to carry the stones from the Jordan—symbolizing unity in diversity.
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”— Psalm 133:1 (NIV)
No Favoritism in Leadership or Families
Dear leaders, dear parents—hear this clearly: “For there is no partiality with God.”— Romans 2:11 (NKJV)
Favoritism kills unity. It causes bitterness, rebellion, and division. Whether in a team, a church, or a home, partiality will poison the atmosphere.
Mothers—don’t show favoritism.
Leaders—don’t play favorites.
God did not favor one tribe over another when selecting leaders. And neither should we.
God Speaks Beyond Language—Spirit to Spirit
Let’s settle this debate once and for all:
- Kannada vs Tamil?
- Which is the oldest language?
- Then someone says, “No, no, God loves Konkani speakers the most!” 😂
Stop the drama!
In heaven, there is no human language.
“He who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God… for in the spirit he speaks mysteries.” — 1 Corinthians 14:2 (NKJV)
God speaks spirit to spirit. That’s why on the Day of Pentecost, each one heard in their own language, yet it was one sound from Heaven (Acts 2:6).
Unity in the Spirit is more powerful than uniformity in language.
Listen When God Speaks
God is not looking for perfection. He’s looking for obedience.
When He speaks—your destiny changes.
So ask yourself today:
- What has God been telling me?
- What step is He waiting for me to take?
- What must I remove from my life to hear Him clearly?
Write it down. Pray over it. Obey it.
And get ready to walk into your next chapter with clarity and power.
God Gives Us a Father Tongue
“For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people.”— Isaiah 28:11 (NKJV)
From Mother Tongue to Father Tongue
When you come to God, something supernatural happens—not only in your heart but also in your spirit and speech.
He takes away your mother tongue and gives you a Father tongue.
Let me explain. Your mother tongue is tied to culture, community, and geography. But your Father tongue is tied to eternity, destiny, and divine identity.
Somebody shout: “Hallelujah!”
You might forget your Malayalam, Konkani, Tamil, or English in that moment of Spirit-led worship—but you will start speaking a new language birthed by the Holy Spirit.
“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”— Acts 2:4 (NKJV)
The devil hears that language and says, “I don’t understand this!”
But the Holy Spirit says, “I recognize it—that’s Heaven’s language!”
This is what happens when you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of God gives you a Father tongue, a language the enemy cannot decode, but Heaven fully understands.
“He who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.”— 1 Corinthians 14:2 (NKJV)
Say it aloud:
“Unity is not in our mother tongue—it is in our Father tongue!”
Unity in the Spirit
Unity doesn’t come through dialects—it comes through the Holy Spirit.
Whether you speak Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, or Manipuri—it doesn’t matter. In Christ, we speak the same Father tongue, the language of the Spirit of unity.
“For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” — 1 Corinthians 12:13 (NKJV)
Somebody declare: “I receive this word!”
We may come from different tribes, but we are part of one Body. We are God’s team.
God’s Blessing Comes Where There is Unity
“Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe.”— Joshua 4:2 (NKJV)
Notice the instruction: One man from every tribe.
Why not twelve from Judah or five from Ephraim? Because God's nature demands unity, not partiality.
He wants every tribe, every voice, every calling—represented and honored.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity… for there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forevermore.” — Psalm 133:1,3 (NKJV)
Unity invites God’s commanded blessing. Not optional—commanded!
You’re Called to a Team
Look at someone and say: “God wants you to be part of a team!”
I’ve watched sports matches. In football, in cricket, in relay races—teamwork wins. It’s not about one person shining; it’s about everyone playing their part.
Ask your neighbor:
“Are you a team player?”
And then ask:
“Which team are you in?”
If they’re laughing nervously, you know the answer!
Some people say, “No, Pastor, I just come for the service. I come, I receive, I go.”
Really?
Then you must be God Himself, because only God can move in and out like that! But even God has a team—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Jesus chose twelve. He sent them two by two. Even in Heaven, there’s a heavenly host, angelic ranks, and divine order.
If you’re not part of a team, you're out of order.
Join God’s Team and Speak the Father's Tongue
When you receive the Father tongue, you receive alignment with Heaven’s heart.
- You speak mysteries (1 Corinthians 14:2).
- You build yourself up (1 Corinthians 14:4).
- You enter unity with the Body (Ephesians 4:3).
- You connect directly with God (Romans 8:26).
So today, step into the supernatural.
Step into unity.
Step into the team.
Step into God’s blessing.
And remember—your new language is not of earth, it is of Heaven.
Let God give you the Father tongue—and walk in unity, power, and divine favour!
