Spiritual Synergy

1 Cor 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are Gods husbandry, ye are Gods building.

First of all, we are not supposed to do the job by ourselves. We are supposed to do it together with God.  When Jesus gave us the task to reach the world with the Gospel, he gave us two things to remember. He said, me is given ALL power in heaven and in earth. Go ye THEREFORE... We can go resting assure that he has all the power. The second thing is that he will never leave us. He promised: I am with you ALWAYS. 

So even the task seems impossible and too big, we know that he is with us, and that he has all power. Here Paul states that we are laborers together with God. The word “laborers together” is translated from the Greek word Synergos, where we have the word Synergy from. 

This is the definition of synergy: “The interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.”

In other words what the two can do together is greater than what each can do by themselves. You may say that God don’t need us to be greater, but in the sense of reaching the world, he has made himself depending on us. He will not do the preaching, and he will not do the praying. He will not teach bible studies for us. He will not evangelize, or knock any doors. We have to do all of this. He has the power to save, but without anyone to tell the good news, the power will never reach them. But when we work together with God…

You may feel that you are so small and insignificant in yourself, but remember if you connect with God, there will be a spiritual synergy effect. Preaching+God produces faith. Faith+God produces obedience (works). Obedience+God produces power. It is called Synergy. God has chosen to do things together with us. So stop trying to do things in your own power or strength. Stop trying to do things according to your own wisdom. Don’t rely on your own abilities and experiences. Do it together with God. Always connect with him. Always pray for his direction and for his word to speak through you.

You are the vessel, and he is the oil. You are the lamp, and he is the light. You are the voice, and he is the word. You are the hands, and he is the power. We are the body, and he is the Spirit.

Its called Spiritual Synergy
