"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, and there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
How do you build a winning team when each member of the team has strong individual wills and even greater egos? Building a true functional team, even in the church, is not necessarily easy; especially when human egos get in the way. Many great professional sports teams have lost big games due to one player’s ego. When individual players put themselves before the team… the team always looses, if not on the court or field the team will loose in the locker room or the prayer room where it is most important.
Ego encourages us to focus on how each individual is different from the rest of the team. While in contrast, the holy spirit soul becomes stronger when we are growing to understand God’s word as one. It is that experience which makes each of us the same in His eyes.
Any time that we separate ourselves from God, our soul is not in control and it is the flesh (ego) that is in control and takes over the situation. At such times, the challenge is to shift our perspective and build a connection with God through prayer and fasting Allow his desire for us to move and guide us.
As we build our personal connect with God, we will begin to understand that we are all very much the same, despite our short comings. The picture of life becomes larger, more things make sense and we have a greater understanding of his word and how God truly intend for us to live. Have a blessed week in the name of the Son, The father and the Holy Spirit! AMEN!
