The Congress of 2013 of&nbsp;cells, was surprising. As God&nbsp;ministered to our heart!!! We have learned that Heart and hand must be together.

"After he left there, he came upon Jehonadab&nbsp;son of Rekab,&nbsp;who was on his way to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said, “Are you in accord with me, as I am with you?”“I am,” Jehonadab answered.“If so,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.”&nbsp;So he did, and Jehu helped him up into the chariot." 2 Kings 10.15

In other words, before putting his hand to the plow&nbsp;we must be all together with the same heart, same vision. Working with people who are not together of Heart will bring disaster later on. We need to&nbsp;always evaluate this heart quest.
Are we&nbsp;really together? Are we going in the same direction?&nbsp; Do we have the same motivation in&nbsp;our heart? Skills without heart is like "resounding gong or a clanging cymbal" 1Co. 13.1, does nothing but noises and movements.We need to live beyond appearances, being transparent in our relationships. The heart is the center of life; and la that all things. That is why the Bible says: "Above all else, guard&nbsp;your heart,&nbsp;for everything you do flows from it." Prov. 4.23There are many leaders who are exercising their ministries mourning and weeping, on account of their team members who do not have a heart straight with them; they are serving without the vision of Kingdom,only with misguided reasons, without relevance,without any love, seeking only benefits for themselves, as in the case of David and Joab.Like when&nbsp;Joab caused problems for David!&nbsp;When&nbsp;he took decisions without consulting him!When this brought problems to the reign of David!(Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)... And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah&nbsp;are too strong&nbsp;for me.&nbsp;May the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;repay&nbsp;the evildoer according to his evil deeds!” 2 Samuel 3.30, 39They were not together. Joab was hand only, his heart was not aligned to David's,his king. This&nbsp;is so&nbsp;present in our churches.&nbsp;People who only want to show off, who want only "roles" that make themselves shine.&nbsp;People that have&nbsp;no&nbsp;understanding that the Kingdom is of&nbsp;God and we are servants to his work. Those are building their own kingdom in the name of God.Caution !! God is not to be mocked. Don't mess with God!&nbsp;God give us&nbsp;time for each one of us,and He will be&nbsp;speaking, disciplining,treating each one of us on this journey. Who is&nbsp;sheep let&nbsp;yourself be&nbsp;treated , but who is&nbsp;a goat&nbsp;does not obey or submit to leadership, makes the work your way,on their own account. The of these people&nbsp; is the destruction.Now, when we serve&nbsp;with heart, the hands are blessing&nbsp;instruments that reach thousands and thousands of people, both those who are near and those who are far from us. The work of God is so extensive, "The harvest is so great ... "Mt 9.37 and have so much work to do, but has to be a link between the heart and the hand.I register here my love, respect and admiration for my pastor Newton Lobato, which is a benchmark in my life, with whom I&nbsp; always try to keep my heart aligned to him for our hands work in one direction.This is a fear and constant care in my life.Also i register my love and gratitude to the leadership that God has placed under my care:my supervisors of network:Pr Joel Malvares,Pr Newton Neto (Ne) ;Miss Pedro Morgado;Carlos Borges,Esdras and Thamea, which are blessings in my life, helping me to lead uninterrupted access to cells of our church.&nbsp;You are special, give me&nbsp;the support that are like wings that make me go beyond, makes me stronger in this work.Also recognize the effort of the supervisors of cells,leaders of cells and assistants who are with me in grazing the local Church through the cells. The Lord does not forget it, He&nbsp;has a &nbsp;reward&nbsp;for every good work that they have done. And that our heart remains coupled with our hands.I need you! #Wearealltogether#&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Heliene Lobato and Nivea Colon
