Word - Don't Just Operate...Cooperate

'...WE HAVE SHARED TOGETHER THE BLESSINGS OF GOD...' PHILIPPIANS 1:7

Andrew Carnegie said, 'It marks a big step in your development when you
realise that other people can help you do a better job than you can do
by yourself.' (After all, you can't whistle a symphony; it takes an
orchestra!) Your future is connected to certain people. Without them
your destiny will be incomplete. If you're humble enough to accept that,
your possibilities are unlimited. A key player in the Billy Graham
Association was his childhood friend, Grady Wilson. In 1948 Billy asked
Grady to come and work with him. At first he said no, but Billy
persisted: 'God's told me you're to come and work with me. I need an
evangelist; somebody who knows me and my ministry, somebody I can
trust.' 'I didn't want to come,' Wilson later recalled. 'After all, I
already had a successful ministry of my own holding citywide crusades.'
But after praying he made the decision to follow Billy Graham (and God).
He set aside his own dreams to be part of another man's. That decision
made a huge difference, not only in his life but also in the lives of
the multitudes they reached together until Grady Wilson's death.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice a smaller dream in order to fulfill a
bigger one. It takes both courage and humility to do that. But look at
the results. Heaven alone knows the impact that Grady Wilson and Billy
Graham had together. And what was Wilson's take on his decision? 'I
never regretted it!'
