"STICK TOGETHER TEAM"

Players of Counterstrike or CS will have heard this phrase a zillion times. Last Saturday, after cell, my boys and I went for some serious lan gaming. it was 4 VS 4. Man against man. My team played good guys (The Counter-terrorist) and the other 4 played the Terrorist (the bad guys). 30mins into the game and we were winning comfortably. Everytime the game started, everything was clockwork - buying equipment on the move, moving swiftly towards the enemy, taking them out one by one.
.
Upon reflection, I realised that we didnt have any expert players on the team but the reason for us winning was that we sticked together. Everytime the game started, someone in the team will say "STICK TOGETHER TEAM" and we would all follow the guy running in front and when we encountered enemies, we would take them out "ONE BY ONE".
.
I also realised that the enemy was most often not together. They splited themselves and went seperate ways. This allowed my team to take them out one by one. Sure my team lost on a few occasions but I realised we lost whenever someone on the team decided to go "HIS OWN WAY" and in CS lingo "camped" or in layman terms hid at some corner while the rest of the team were attacking.
.
The lesson i learnt most from the evening's game session was the strength of "STICKING TOGETHER". Just as it is written in 1 Cor 12:14-26,
.
Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
.
The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
.
Indeed we are all one body. And everyone of us are important parts of that body. Without one of us, the body cannot function properly. As the year comes to a close, let us renew our commitment to this family and enter 2007 "STICKING TOGETHER"
.
"STICK TOGETHER TEAM"
