Can't think of a title

[IDon'tKnow]

Further on the thought of Jeroboam. While it is true that after Jeroboam divided Judah that he fell into idolatry. He definitely was commissioned by God to divide from Judah and become King of Israel, this was because of Solomon's disobedience,

³¹And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
³²(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel
³³Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.

1 Kings 11 NKJV

He was even given a blessing for his kingship.

³⁷And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
³⁸And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

1 Kings 11 NKJV

We however note here that the prerequisite for Jeroboam's blessing and reason for the Kingdom being taken away from Solomon are similar. obedience, and keeping His statutes. This suggests to me that this should be the basis of our oneness. I believe that it is based upon this we are one with God.

Furthermore it could be pointed out that with the actions of Jeroboam, setting up his competing worship sites, Idols, and Feasts. He could have spun it to mean that he was trying to keep the oneness of the nation of Israel. After all in actual fact what he really wanted was to keep them in a special oneness with him, because he thought this would keep him in power, Later generations even attempted to build a wall between Israel and there fellow Hebrews in Judah (Sound familiar). Whereas he was already promised by God if you remain one with me I will establish your house. This suggests to me that when we try and enforce oneness we automatically fall into something low, When we just follow the Lord, oneness should simply come.
