The greatness in the kingdom is servant of all (Luke 22:25-27). Jesus is not against us desiring greatness, because our God Himself is a great God, every true believer has the seed of greatness implanted in his spirit. We dream dreams and see visions of ourselves achieving significance and purpose in life. The standard still works today! The greatest in our society are people who serve the sick, needy and the wounded. These are great because they have given themselves to serve others. Jesus Christ tops the list. He is the greatest of all because He gave Himself for the sins of the world (Phil. 2 :1-11). Labels: Sermon
There is a practical outworking of this principle of greatness in our everyday world. Those who do serve the most may often become the most famous and prosperous people. But when you do study on many of them, glory and riches are usually not their motives. Rather, the recognition and esteem of others seem to be the inevitable fruit of their self-giving, childlike service to mankind.
One pastor once said that every Christian is shaped for service, using the word “SHAPE” as an acronym. “S” stands for Spiritual gifts. “H” stands for Heart’s desire. “A” stands for Ability. “P” stands for Personality. “E” stands for Experience. When you put them all together and get into “SHAPE”, you should have a good idea of the ministry that God has set you in so that you may become salt and light to the world.
Thus we are born as the Head and not the tail, above and not beneath, blessed in our gg out ad blessed in our coming in… Understand tt God has given us a purpose on this Earth, this world, to fulfil our purpose and do His work… And the more u tapped into God’s Word and into His spirit, the more blessing and anointing will receive from Him… U got to lay a strong foundation in the Lord as the more stable u r in Him, u will be protected from the Satan’s attack in ur life. God has given us the power to overcome, to use it effectively or not is a choice u have to made… (Jn 16:33) “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” God will always be there for u as He is a Omnipotent, Jehovah Shammah (Eze 48:33). U also need to have a personal encounter with God to fully understand Him and be connected with Him. Ignore wat others say abt u n know wat God thinks abt u.
