Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
'If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.' Jesus speaks these words in response to the claim that he is possessed by Beelzebub. However, Jesus is also, I think, speaking of the Church, the Body of Christ, as well. Jesus is showing a little bit of his normal clairvoyance here. Jesus knows the church is going to be divided, and he is telling us that we cannot be fully effective if we continue to fight amongst ourselves. We need to take these words to heart and work hard to unite as the Body of Christ that we will more faithful, and effective, disciples of Jesus. God bless you.
