Seize the Moment – Day 185
God’s Fellow Workers!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Friday, September 18.
Did you know that we are all in this together and not a single one of us is more important than another? We may have different gift, callings, and responsibilities that we must stand before God to be held accountable for, but we each have great potential to make an eternal impact on our communities.
Listen to Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:3-9, “For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? For when one says, ‘I follow Paul,’ and another, ‘I follow Apollos,’ are you not being merely human? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.”
This passage is for more than just the leaders of the church—it is for all of us! It is always about God and what God is doing through His people. We are called to be one unified body. We are God’s fellow workers!
This means we are called to follow the example of Jesus Christ: Are you sacrificial in your love and forgiveness to others? Are you serving people in the name of Jesus Christ?
Seize the moment and walk in step with the Spirit and you will find yourself in step with God’s people. Remember, it is agreement with the Head of the Church—Jesus Christ—that causes the members of the Body to walk in alignment with one another. Regardless of whether or not we agree with one another on a myriad of other issues, let us be God’s fellow workers! For His glory!
