S.E.E.D. For Today___We
Scripture "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil." Ecclesiastes 4:9a ESV
Solomon's experience with the independent man caused him to consider the importance of friendship and the value of people doing things together. Team work definitely makes the dream work, because two workers can get more done even if they share the profits, they still get a better return for their efforts than if they had worked alone. In the 2016 playoffs Le Bron James and his team were able to break the 52 year old curse and achieve redemption for Cleveland. Using the "we" philosophy they were able to smote the demon and I quote. It is said that most in sports have a me mindset and that the team had a "we" mindset. We stretches further than his house, than his locker room. Its we that the kids are watching, it's we that kids that grow like me struggle for their next meal. It's we, being a young black man and not supposed to make it to see 18, that's we "Le-Bron James". The "we" philosophy is not a popular thought for many because everything is me or mine but Solomon realized the benefits of "we". A narcissistic spirit will not help one succeed in anything but together we can do it all including long awaited victories.
Example We is used to to refer to one or more people considered together. Including the group, You and I and another and others.
Exercise Read Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Journal and Talk to God. Everything that you are doing are you doing it alone? No man is an island you need people to do whatever God has called you to do. There is power in agreement! We can get wealthy together, healthy together. we can turn the world upside down because we are already champions because of Christ. We keep losing the game be there is no "we" in the body of Christ it's the me in me syndrome. Let's the break the curse the enemy wants to use to keep us from walking in victory by walking in the "we" philosophy.
Devotion Lord my prayer is for unity. You taught us to pray in terms of "we", Our Father, us our daily bread, we don't just ask for ourselves You have shown us that we are all in this together. Lord help me not to be selfish or self-centered. Help me get rid of I'm trying to get mine philosophy so that I can be a true winner. "We" together have the ability to break generational curses but success alone only causes the curses to go on from generation to generation. Redemption awaits and "we" can spread it in Jesus Name Amen.
I love this post. Walking into agreement is about loving each other and seeing each other as a whole
