Never Underestimate a Champion

In his final year with the Bulls, Michael Jordan and his teammates were pushed to a game seven against the Indiana Pacers in the eastern conference finals. In a thrilling game, the Bulls beat the Pacers and made it to the championship.  The only problem was, the opponent for the championship (the Utah Jazz) had been resting for over a week. The Jazz were a younger team, hungry to prove they could beat the best.  Immediately after beating the Pacers the bulls had to travel out to Utah and start the championship series. A reporter asked Michael to be honest; could the older Bulls beat the well-rested, younger Jazz? Michael looked at the reporter and said, “Our legs might be tired but are hearts are not.” The Bulls went on the beat the Jazz in five games.

Never underestimate a champion and what he or she can do for a team. The reason the Bulls won so much is because they had a true champion on their team. Champions make all the difference. Are you a champion for your ministry team? Do you stand up and say what is not being said? Do you stand in the stream of mediocrity and inspire excellence?
