After attending the "She Speaks" conference this past July one very important thing was observed the entire weekend. This leadership team had UNITY. The sweetness and harmony was so strong that instantly Psalm 133 came to my mind "Behold, How good and pleasant it is for (sisters) to dwell together in unity"
The anointing in this place brought me to tears.
Now I am sure the southern hospitality had a little to do with the sweetness but I am convinced that the LOVE for one another was the glue that held and completed Gods work.
Colossians 3:14 "Above all things PUT ON LOVE which is the bond of perfection"
I observed such synergism in every detail of the conference. The synergism was such an energizing experience for me. The way they reacted toward one another left a strong impression in my heart. This unity has created the POWERFUL results of their ministry.
Now, I know firsthand and with experience that directing, leading and teaching in ministry is not easy. Especially with women. We are emotional creatures. Now if this does not add a little spice to the recipe of Unity I do not know what does.
However I do know that we are to not COMPETE but COMPLETE one another. Each woman on the"She Speaks" team has had a vision or certain calling brewing deep down inside her heart. It was so awesome to see their visions come to pass and God to be using them in amazing capacities! Many of the speakers and leaders gave the credit to God but then voiced the importance of their P31 family.
It was like each member of this team lived, breathed, and fought for the dreams and vision of each other. When they spoke they knew the hardships and battle it took to see the different dreams move forward. But they continued to encourage and stir the gifts in one another.
The book Colossians in the bible says to Put on Love. I witnessed the wardrobe of Love. Thoughtfulness toward one another, the delicate consideration of each detail planned by another, kindness, mercy and encouragement flowed throughout the embassy suites hotel.
Joel 2:7-8 "They run like mighty (sisters), They climb the walls like women of war, Every one marches in formation and they do not break ranks. They do not push one another, everyone marches in his own column
Yes, they marched in UNITY!
If you are serving in a ministry ask yourself... What am I bringing to this team?
Do you bring your... deep dreams and desires, knowledge, experience, methods that may be applicable and needed, thoughtfulness, consideration of God working a work in others and most important LOVE?
Leave behind past offences, hard nosed opinions(these can kill a dreamer), bad attitudes, jealousy and pride.
Remember not to compete but COMPLETE and pull each others DREAMS into the whole big picture!
Blessings and love,
