Mindset Monday: Who’s In Your Tribe?

And they went to their own tribe (Acts 4:23). As Christians, we need to surround ourselves with like-minded people. We need our own tribe. It’s important to know those with whom you associate. The right tribe for you will be a place where you are continually filled, sharpened, and fired up for the call of God on your life. Here are five reasons why it’s important to have the right tribe:

1. Spiritual Support and Encouragement: Being part of a community of like-minded Christians provides a source of spiritual support and encouragement. In times of doubt, struggle, or hardship, your tribe can offer guidance, prayer, and encouragement and help you to stay strong in your faith.
2. Accountability: A community of like-minded believers can provide accountability in living out your faith. Through regular interactions, discussions, and sharing of experiences, your tribe can hold each other accountable to the principles and values of your faith, helping to promote growth and maturity in your spiritual journey.
3. Fellowship and Camaraderie: Fellowship within a community of believers fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie. When your tribe shares common beliefs, values, and experiences, it creates a bond among members, leading to meaningful relationships and a sense of unity within the body of Christ.
4. Opportunities for Service and Ministry: Being part of a Christian community opens up opportunities for service and ministry. Working together with your tribe, you can engage in various outreach initiatives, mission trips, and community service projects, making a positive impact in the lives of others and fulfilling your call to love and serve one another.
5. Learning and Growth: In a community of like-minded Christians, there are opportunities for learning and growth through Bible studies, discussions, and shared experiences. By engaging with your tribe, you can gain new insights, deepen your understanding of scripture, and grow in your relationship with God.

So, who is in your tribe? God did not call you to walk alone. Remember, He said when 2 or 3 are gathered together in His name, He is in the midst of them (Matthew 18:20). Do not fail to meet together in the Spirit of unity (Hebrews 10:25).
