Once Jesus began his work in earnest, he wasted no
time in forming a team. It is as if
he suddenly became magnetized. People were inexplicably drawn to him and him to
them. “Follow me,” he called out
across the water, and without hesitation they followed. Even Jesus knew that he
could not change the world alone (or maybe not “he could not” but “he will
not”).
If you as a leader intend
to accomplish anything significant, the first step toward attaining your God-given
goal is to create a team. Yet many people still feel they must do everything
alone. I love to do things alone, but I must see beyond myself, my preferences,
my personality to working together. There is time for individualism, there is
time for teamwork. Almost always, God-given goal(s) require teamwork. One man
can only do so much.
Good ideas, noble
intentions, brilliant inventions and miraculous discoveries go nowhere unless
somebody forms a team to act on them. Whoever forms a team to carry out the
best ideas wins. Jesus formed a team.
What parts of a project are you still trying to do on
your own? Why?
Do you have a team?
THINK BIG.
START SMALL. GO DEEP.
