Philippians 4:2-3 – UnNeeded

by northwestjim, posted in Thought For The Day

Philippians 4:2-3
I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord. Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle … and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

I’m intrigued by this verse.

We have no idea of whom these ladies are let alone what they’re fighting about. That’s not the point. I’m fascinated by the TRUE COMPANION.

I love that this guy:

  • is a peacemaker.
  • makes ministry happen in others.
  • is faceless/nameless.

EVERY church has folks like this guy… anonymous folks who are catalysts, folks whose very presence makes ministry happen in others and through others.

They are God’s YOKEFELLOWS.

Folks whom

  • nobody knows, but
  • God knows

I want to be one of these guys… Striving to put myself to the side, and be a tool of the Kingdom.

God bless the yokefellows.
