Partnership
Philippians 1:3-6 (NKJV)
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.
4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy.
5 for your fellowship (partnership) in the gospel from the first day until now,
6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
9 Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
++++++++++++++++
Paul was well aware that he needed partners in the ministry God had given him. He always had traveling companions to assist him in sharing the word of God. And he also saw that those in the churches that he started were also his partners.
The OT writer had learned the same thing. Each of us need to be working with others.
Who is your partner, as you share with others? Who has helped you in your growth in the Lord?
This is one reason that God established the church and the importance of our being involved in a local church. Your pastor is the leader, but he needs partners! Will you be a partner???
