It’s better when you work with the team that God has given you!

The Bible says that two are better than one. Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12 says: “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” If you look at all great champions, you will see that behind the scenes, their victories came as a result of teamwork. Even in sports like golf or tennis, even they have a team helping them in their championship pursuits. Actually, when one is alone, it is much more difficult to achieve anything of great worth. When you work together with others with similar interests, the projects get done quicker, and more gets accomplished. God was very angry with the Amalekites, because they attacked the older, weaker Israelites who fell behind when they were traveling from Egypt to the promised land. Since the older Israelites could not keep up with the team, they were in essence, alone. Because of that, the enemy was able to successfully attack them. Jesus said that the prayer of agreement is a very powerful prayer. He also said that wherever two or three are gathered together, He is there in their midst (Matthew 18:19,20). God even corrected the prophet Elijah when he said that he was the only one left that was standing for Him. God corrected the prophet by telling him: “I have seven thousand that have not bowed their knee to Baal (1 Kings 19:14-18). So Elijah was not really alone. It’s time to realize that you are not supposed to do things all by yourself. God has given you those who will work with you, pray with you, rejoice with you, cry with you. You are part of a great and anointed body. Be encouraged today because there are more with us than with the enemy!

God sees and will compensate (reward) your service to Him!

There are wonderful principles in the scriptures that are active in the earth realm today. One of these powerful principles is found in Psalms 62:12 (Amp): “Also to You, O Lord, belong lovingkindness and compassion, For You compensate (reward) every man according to [the value of] his work.” I suggest that you read this verse over and over and let in sink into your spirit! Well, have you read it various times? Our God is compassionate and loving with us. He who knows all of our acts, deeds and thoughts reward us according to what we do, not what others do. This means that even if all of those around me commit evil and deceit, but I obey God and stand for Him, my reward will be different from those around me. God is not unjust to ignore our prayers and service to Him. He loves us and guarantees that our kindness and love toward others will be rewarded by Him! The New Testament response to this verse is found in Galatians 6:7 (EXB) “Do not be ·fooled [deceived; mistaken]: You cannot cheat [mock; make a fool of] God. People harvest only what they plant [reap what they sow].” The Apostle Paul advised us to not grow weary while doing good. There is always a harvest. It might take some time, but it’s worth the wait! Galations 6:9: “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” Never forget, Your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Praise God for His faithfulness and compassion!
