Team God – Rooted

“After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:5-6

As Christians serving God we need to be on one team – Team God! Scripture goes on to say, “It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.”

1 Corinthians 3:7

Paul is teaching us that as we minister and move forward in our unique God given abilities and gifts, ultimately what or who does it – this is not important! It is God that is important, He does the growth and transformation within us – He gets all the praise and glory – not man!!

Boy, but sometimes we think we are just the “bomb diggity” when it comes to being a servant for God and spreading His word.

Well… here is a heart check for me and you – All desires to receive any glory for what we do for the Kingdom must be set aside.

As we spread and water God’s seeds if we seek and desire any praise coming from man, is this God’s way? No! This is man’s way, there should be no “super star praise desired” in the task of spreading and watering seeds for our God! We are the servants – He is the Master – He gets the praise!

We ALL must work together to build the Kingdom for the same purpose – to spread the Good News – not to give ourselves glory.

It is written as clear as day in Corinthians, we are to work together as Christians to go plant seeds and water them. Then…God DOES the growing and gets ALL the glory!!

Adapt a servant mentality for the Lord and remember it’s not about us! All glory and praise goes to our God
