Teamwork makes it happen

I heard a saying that goes something like this, “innovation creates opportunity, quality creates demand, but it takes teamwork to make it happen”. Teamwork is essential in a business and I constantly promote it. Someone has well said, “No one is as smart as all of us”; therefore it follows that we should put our heads together to create a better:
business, world, family, et al. Individuals can excel but teams can DOMINATE.

The same logic holds true for our spiritual lives. We cannot accomplish as much with our spiritual lives individually as we can by joining together and forming a team with other believers. Yes Philippians 4:13 is true: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. With God on your team success is assured, but God wants you on a bigger team.
He wants all believers to be on the same team for the good of all. In fact there is no true believer that he would not welcome to the team with open arms. If we could follow his lead and put aside our petty differences and work together, who knows maybe we could even elect decent politicians. (I can dream can’t I?)

1Cor. 12:3…

Therefore I make known to you
that no one speaking by the Spirit
of God calls Jesus accursed, and
no one can say that Jesus is Lord
except by the Holy Spirit.

There are diversities of gifts,
but the same Spirit.

And there are diversities of
ministries, but the same Lord.

And there are diversities of
activities, but it is the same God who
works all in all.

But the manifestation of the
Spirit is given to each one for the
profit of all…
