THE SERVANT OF ALL
The kingdom of God is the opposite of the kingdom of Satan. Satan’s kingdom declares, “Do what thou wilt “… Meaning, do whatever you feel like, whatever will exalt self and empower self. God’s kingdom calls us to a low place – to humble ourselves and be a servant. Servants or slaves are the ones who take the lowest job for the sake of those they are serving. Many people feel they are above such a place, but according to our Master, this is where true exaltation comes from. Here are the words of our Master, Jesus.
Luke 14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Matthew 23:11 The greatest among you will be your servant.
The life of humility is not looking down on myself but instead focusing on lifting others. Humility causes us to be so caught up with others that we are not in the equation of life, other than being the vessel through which servanthood happens. A genuinely great person will be the one who is always serving others!
The more I serve my wife and family, the more I become great in their eyes. Even Jesus, who was the greatest of all, did not come to be served but to serve.
Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
The proof of greatness is determined by how much a person causes others to prosper. My dearest friend, may you have the attitude of Jesus today! He didn’t come here for himself, but rather for you and I! The love of God compelled him to serve us even to the giving away of his very life for us. May we be so consumed with God’s love for us that it causes our lives to be a reflection of his love!
Because of his humility, Jesus is now seated at the highest place of honor, the right hand of the throne of God! To be great, we must become like Jesus, the servant of all! Lk 22:26 Make no mistake about it; the way up is the way down! As I pray for you today, I am asking God to embed this truth in your heart – to indeed go hi in life, you take the low road and become…
