Acts 4:32

Take a moment to recall a team from your past which had great team unity.  What were the key attitudes from which that unity sprang?  What made that team so special?  Today’s scripture shows us some attitudes that lead to a unified team.

In the book of Acts at chapter 4 and verse 32 it says, “All the believers were one in heart and mind.  No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.”  What a team!  These people were winners.

Note some important things about this group.  They were one in heart – that is they shared the same values driven by the Spirit of Christ.  They were one in mind – their goals and the strategy for achieving them were unified.  They shared everything – they were totally selfless, each one looking out for the other’s best interest.

Your team can achieve the same unity.  You will be one in heart when you share the same set of values for your team.  You will be one in mind when you each align your personal goals with those of the team.  You will be fully unified when you compete selflessly and seek the team’s best over your personal achievement.

As you prepare today, ask God to unify your team.  Commit yourselves to being of one heart and mind.
