To be a leader, you must
first learn how to serve. Servanthood is a true sign of discipleship.
Getting yourself prepared for the role of a servant is easy. To begin,
you must surrender and submit, starting with God first, giving Him your
all. He can then teach you the fundamentals of servanthood.
Jesus
was a great example of a servant. He submitted Himself to God as a
servant. He led the disciples into a lifestyle of a servant and He then
told them to teach all He had taught them (Matthew 28:19-20). He served
many who were sick. He served many that were hungry. He served! (Mark
10:42-45).
Today, look for opportunities to be used by God. Do as
your Lord Jesus and serve in your community. Look for every moment to
be used to help build The Kingdom of God. This is a new day and a great
opportunity to hear God say, “I am pleased.”
The
laborers are few (Luke 10:2) but, there is plenty going on in the
vineyard; it’s harvest time! Find your place and give it your all. God
will train you and build you up for the task. Your gift will make room
for you (Proverbs 18:16). If you take the first step by faith, He will
guide you the rest of the way. Don’t allow fear and mistrust to stop you
from moving forward. Put all of your trust in God and He will connect
you to the right people at the right time. Remember, there are more for
you than against you (2Kings 6:16). Serve your Father to the utmost!
