The Word of God tell us that we are joint heirs with Christ. Although there are various operations, functions and diversities in ministry, we must never be in competition with one another.
Comparing your particular ministry with that of another will result in either one being exalted over another or being beneath another.
In the Kingdom it really does not matter who God is using to sow, plant or water but rather it is about God who gives the increase!
I truly believe that the Kingdom of God would advance and expand exponentially if there was more of a coalition and no competition!
The resources we have all been given would be leveraged if truly worked the Word of God that states we are One Body who serves One King (Jesus ) who are Laborers Together with Christ!
Without sounding negative or judgmental I am bothered by ministries and ministers who spend more time promoting themselves than they do the Cause of Christ.
I like many others are drawn to ministries who are called into the same function as I am but I realize the wonderful benefit of receiving and honoring those who have a very different calling or assignment as long as Jesus and His finished Work is what is being promoted!
Jesus said to beware of the leaven of Herod. Herod simply means hero. We must guard against hero worship of specific ministries. While we are instructed to honor those who labor among us and to give double honor to those who labor in the word and doctrine
We must never cross the line of idolatry!
If and when we all keep Jesus Christ as the True Super Star in our ministries we will automatically become that coalition that will be God's Army in the earth that invade the darkness with the glorious Light of the Kingdom of God! This is what is needed to open the prison doors and set the captives free!
