Eccl 4: 9-10
Two are better than one…
if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
King Solomon, the wisest man who lived continues to teach
that in life, we cannot be alone. This is more so especially in our spiritual
walk and ministry. We need a companion, Jesus demonstrated this when He send
out the disciples in pairs. Firstly it is for companionship; secondly each can
help and support one another.
I have seen of people who said that they can do everything
alone and even better than others. This speaks of pride in the person and very
soon we will see that such a man will suffer setbacks and failure firstly
because there is a lack of accountability. Secondly he will fail to see his own
weaknesses and short coming.
If we see the most successful minsters globally, they have
team support, there are others who are walking with them and moving with them. There
is team work and some of the team members will look after the needs of the
rest. This is also what the apostles did; they instructed that teams be set up
to look after the day to day administration of the church whereas they would
devote their time to prayer and the teaching of the word.
Ministry is definitely teamwork and Solomon with wisdom of
God taught that no single person going about doing the Lord’s work should be
doing it alone. They need to have partnership.
This is more so when anyone is in spiritual warfare, they
must always have a partner who is in support in prayer. When in spiritual
warfare the leader is actively in leadership, the partner must also be actively
in prayer supporting the leader. Then when one is tired, the other can take over.
It is also to watch out for any sneak attack that may come from the enemy.
This is what Solomon said, when either falls, the other can
help to lift the other up again.
