A word for you!
Philippians 2:1-4 NKJV
Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
For any fellowship to be of the Holy Spirit, there must be unity. For unity to stand in the midst of people from different background there must be love and their goal must tally. It is a futile effort to do anything for God all because of selfish ambition. Your ambition must be handed over to God for you to function in line with His will and way. To work well as united beings, one must not esteem them self better than the other. In the body of Christ this day we have preferences on what we will do for God and how we will do it. Forgetting that our choice must be left aside and His choice must be the first and preceding choice. To function in His will you must be ready to look out for others interest and not just your interest. You must be a willing sheep and not a goat spirited sheep. The sheep never complains about the shepherd it follows the shepherd because it knows the shepherd has its best interest at heart.
My brothers and sisters in your walk with or service to God always allow His will to rule over yours, never esteem your self higher or better than anyone let it be all for God and not for man.
May our labour in His vineyard be acceptable and not in vain in Jesus name amen.
Have a fruitful day.
