Theme: I Am Because You Are.
Act 15:39 KJV And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
2Ti 4:11 KJV Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
If you read Acts 15 from verse 36 Paul wanted to revisit the brethren they ministered to in every city. Barnabas opted to take Mark(John) with them but Paul wasnt okay with the decision because Mark once left them when he went to Pamphylia to preach. Paul took it as part of revenge. Paul ministered the Word of God in many cities then came a burden upon him, he couldn't handle everything by himself. He then wrote a letter to Timothy asking him to come to his aid. He need help in ministry. He then requested Mark to accompany him. We might fight at our work places, we might fight in our families but there is a time we need each other. The poorest family member has something to offer, the least qualified workmate has something to contribute. Yes i agree we fight we have differences but at the end we need each other. I cannot be without you. The body cannot be clean without the aid of the hands. A finger cannot function well without a nail. Lets go back to those people we rejected because of what they did to us. We need them a lot. Lets love and forgive one another. That family member, that workmate you dont associate with is the one you need the most. Remember the Gospel of Jesus Christ is about love. I need you, you need, we need each other. Im because you. Lets spread love not hate. Stay blessed.
