Your true strength 2


“But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.” Luke 22:26

Your true strength is reflected in your capability to serve. Your capability to make things happen for people around you and the community in which God has planted you. The real leaders are the people who serve others.

Promotion, reward, leadership is handed over at the place of service. If you are too big to serve, you will be too big to lead. If you dodge service, you dodge the reward also.

“Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.” 1 Samuel 16:18
“And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.” Genesis 39:2

Let me ask you, can people count on you in your place of work? What are you doing for God in the church you attend? Or you are waiting until you become a Pastor? God will not call you unless he finds you faithful in service! There is a service whose reward is for eternity and that is the service that is connected with the redemption of the souls of men. May you find your place in this service.

May you receive grace to serve. May your service be rewarded in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Here I am, use me oh Lord, in Jesus name.
