Harnessed Together for Power Results

I watched a video of a county fair somewhere in Mid-America. In a weighted-sled HorsesPullTogethercontest the 1st place horse pulls 4,000 lbs. 2nd place pulls 3,000 lbs. But when harnessed in tandem they pulled 16,000 lbs! Individual effort resulted in a total of 7,000 lbs. But together they pulled 9,000 lbs more than they did separately. Synergy: the interaction of two or more agents so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Together, we can get the Great Commission done. Eph.4:16, TLB — “Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly, and each part in its own special way helps the other parts, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”


Synergy of Relationships

(Apostle Jim Hodges) — “The synergy of covenantal relationships produces more comprehensive and effectual ministry. Of course, there must be some level of trust for such relationships to form and maximize the Lord’s ministry among us. We trust God and must learn to trust one another. Those who stay in isolation because they cannot trust will minimize their gift and calling.”
