NO ROOM FOR COMPETITION IN THE BODY

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:26 KJV

How many of you know there are people who find it difficult to pray for others? Because they feel “if I pray for him, he will be bigger than me”. That’s the reason why the Church struggles to walk in dominion. That’s why servants are riding on horses, and princes are walking about mounting guard of honour for servants. There is a lot of jealousy, envy, ill-will and contention in the Body of Christ. It ought not to be so!

You must first know that you are unique and important. In the Body of Christ, there is no room for competition. There is no room for any form of envy. God did not plan it that way. God already showed us in the scriptures what He expects from us.

In Genesis 1:26 He says “LET US make man in our own image”. LET US! Not “LET ME.” “ME” must leave our vocabulary. I am persuaded that the gospel of this decade is above a solo gospel. God is demanding a corporate anointing. Everything in life has its appropriate time and season. God is on the move and He is about to wrap up things. And He has no room for petty jealousy and envy.

You can understand spiritual things by understanding what happens in the natural. The Ambassadors we send abroad to many nations are sent there to represent our nation, to represent and speak for the Head of State. If any Ambassador goes there to cause shame to the nation, the embassy will tell him to come back home. Some in the Body of Christ may be called home by God before this great move of God except they line up with the plan of God. I declare that it shall be well with you all the days of your life.
