POST | Working As A Team In Unity

Hello there, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate. I hope you find this piece interesting and inspiring.

WORKING AS A TEAM IN UNITY.

I want to talk about ONENESS, UNITY, UNIFORMITY, ONE MIND, ONE HEART, etc. Like I said, I just want to talk…I really don't want to preach.

The devil has lost us (Believers grounded in the word of Christ). Non of us can backslide because there is more than enough GRACE to keep us from falling. So if he is trying to make us switch sides and come over to his, he is just wasting his precious limited time. Since he is aware he has lost his grip on us, making it impossible to come over to his side and help his kingdom, he is also aware that we are against it. This means we are threats to his kingdom. But you see, the devil never gives up. He never accepts the fact and truth that he has lost and will always lose. So he strategizes to see how he can AT LEAST minimize the threats, if not stop it completely. But I guess we are way ahead of the game! We know his every tricks. So ain't nothing new when he starts playing any funny tricks.

Now, as a team that carries a particular vision trying to achieve a common goal, we are ONE, just like The Body of Christ…The Church. Individually, we are members of the body, but we are still ONE. If you break a leg, the whole body will have to go to the hospital, so all parts are affected and hindered from performing their duties optimally because one part is down. Why? Simply because all parts are synced with each other and can't do without each other. The devil understands this simple principle, so he tries to 'play dice'…you know, more like a try-your-luck thing. he knows if he can get just ONE member of a team out of sync in anyway, it will affect the team as a whole. Oh yes, individually and as a whole we suffer. We can't progress! For example, you use your hands to fetch water, but if you have a broken leg, how do you intend to fetch water, though your hands ain't broken? You see! The devil knows that if we don't have ONE mind, we are gonna lose it in little or no time. Of course, we most definitely might still be in the faith though, but he would have managed to minimize the chaos we cause in his kingdom, if not put an end to it completely…GOD FORBID! Same thing happend with the Tower of Babel in the Bible. I know it's in the old testament but I rarely ever read my old testament…God help me though. Ok, back to the topic. If we can remember the story about the Tower of Babel, we'll realize that it was just ONE misunderstanding that brought about the unsuccessful end to a "GREAT" project. Just ONE, not two, ten or ten thousand…just ONE!!!

If in a team, there is extinction of ONE mind, ONE goal, ONE vision, ONE heart, ONE love, etc., just forget about anything like progress. It will never happen! As long as there is no MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING, there will be no PROGRESS. If you like, go on a 40 days dry fast, nothing will happen! Oh yes, sometimes we might not always agree, I agree. But somehow, we should find a way to resolve our differences, more like we agree to disagree or whatever, just to come to a central point of agreement. We all have different values, we all have weaknesses, we all ain't perfect. If we come to this realization, we are just taking the FIRST STEP towards progress. Since we all ain't perfect because we got our strengths as well as weaknesses, we should strive to have the same mind as a team. Though we all are IMPERFECT, we should fit into each other, or should I say; sync PERFECTLY! Just like marriage, which involves two IMPERFECT people who fit into each others lives, dreams and aspirations PERFECTLY! In that way, we make up for each others weaknesses with our individual strengths. A stick of broom can't do nothing, and breaks easily. But combine 100 sticks, you clean a whole house and you can't break the broom easily.

No man can survive alone. God made it that way. If not, we'll be conceited in our thoughts and actions. Our weaknesses and imperfections are there to humble us. We all have weaknesses, but if you know you are stronger or better than anyone in any area where they are weak, it's your responsibility to correct, criticize (constructive, not destructive), and PLEASE, do all in LOVE! Very very essential! Also, the one being corrected or criticized should take correction HUMBLY, and improve too. We all wanna carry each other along as a team. Nobody knows it all. If you think you do, then you are living in self-delusion. My best advice to such people; WAKE UP!!! Even if you do, you must not 'show off' or brag like you know something about everything. That's PRIDE and it's an exhibition of IMMATURITY. It causes division within a body or team that's meant to have ONE mind, ONE goal, ONE vision, ONE love. When there is division within a team, there is no progress, therefore no success.

Alright! I have so much to say, but if I continue, I will have to publish a whole book. But I guess the main point has been passed across. So let's all know what we are all about as we work as a team. The devil wants to sow A SEED…JUST ONE SEED of discord in JUST ONE member of the team. He doesn't need more than ONE! It took just ONE hole to bring down the "mighty" Titanic. Once ONE person is out of sync with other members of the team in mind or anything, problem starts. We start stalling instead of progressing. Pride comes in, and at the end, we all get fed up and be like, "Mehn, I'm sick and tired of all this bullcrap! Infact, I'm out!" That definitely will mark the beginning of the devil's victory. You see how he has managed to stop a team fulfilling God's will that is definitely a threat to his kingdom. Just ONE seed of discord!

So please, please and PLEASE, be sensitive to the devil's funny tricks and strategies. he's very cunning. Just A FOOT-HOLD, and he drags the whole body down!

Ok, that's it…I'M DONE!
