THERE IS NO SELF IN TEAM

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.

Self-centeredness is defined as “immoderate concern with one’s own interests and well-being; self-love or egotism.” This is the  Remedy for division not teamwork.  The Bible tells us “people who are self-centered aren’t able to please God or love others.  We must remove self if we plan to move forward together.  This is why self-centeredness is a sin this is why we should think in unity and not self MOLD. You know how much we can get done with self "nothing". Selfishness leads to being devoted to self-gratification and overlooking other people’s needs, ideas, or gifts; that can be used to build up our communities, our people and His Kingdom


Lord,  take our minds off the narrowness of self-interest and give us eyes that see the bigger picture.  Father, help us take ourselves to the extreme opposite of our egos so we can behold every situation from the aspect of You.  Father, search our hearts and minds and remove all that is not of You,  bitterness, jealousy, and selfish ambition; that we may be harboring.  Let us not be arrogant or lie against the truth. Lord, let not greed exploit us or selfishness and empty conceit,  Separate us. But with humility of mind let each of us regard one another as more important than our self; do not merely look out for our own personal interests, but also for the interests of others, in Jesus name Amen
