Encouraging Others To Achieve Their Mission

"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." Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NKJ)

In the beginning, God said that it wasn’t good for Adam to be alone (Gen. 2:18). This statement wasn’t about Adam’s loneliness, but about his inability to achieve God’s directives (Gen. 1:28). Adam needed a partner to help him achieve his divinely appointed purpose and mission.

Naturally, I want a partner who is in agreement with my values, purpose and mission so that we are on the same page, pursuing the same goals. And when we are working together to achieve the same purpose, synergism takes over. As a result, I am able to achieve more -- because of focused, cooperative team effort -- than I can achieve alone.

In order to achieve His purpose and mission of global evangelization, Christ called twelve people to help him. He assembled a team of disciples, to whom he passed his vision and passion. By explanation and example, Christ taught them to do ministry that would ultimately achieve His goal.

In the context of my calling to join Christ in his mission, I carefully consider my own mission, purpose, and goals. I have decided that his example is a good one to follow. There are other likeminded individuals who also want to achieve the Lord's will in their own lives. And I always need partners to share the journey and be there when it gets tough. Everyone does!

Dear Father, thank you for choosing me to join you in your mission. For your glory, grant that I may also find others to help me achieve all your directives. I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN

We have a MISSION -- ENCOURAGE others -- ACHIEVE much for God,
