The message for the beloved children of God - What have you done for Me (Lord)?

Good morning,
The message for the beloved children of God - What have you done for Me (Lord)?

Do you not know that we are servants of the Lord? The Bible has a great deal to say about servanthood because the central theme of the Bible is to be an Servant. True leadership is servanthood, and the greatest leader of all time is Jesus Christ, He came to serve! Ask yourself are you greater then the great I AM? The answer to the question is NO !! Read Mark 10:43-45, But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Get some understanding about this verse, Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve ! We are here to do the will of God first, that is what Jesus did. Serving others is the very essence of ministry! We need to be renewed in our hearts and minds. The word of God says, in Philippians 2:3-7,Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Can you lay aside yourself and follow Jesus Christ? Jesus said, For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done. Read John 12:25-26, He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. If we turn back to the Word of God, we can find our way out of the cultural confusion and into the clarity of the mind of God. Ask yourself this question, when you see the Lord face to face, will He say, Well done,my good and faithful servant ? Let us have the same spirit like Paul. Paul thoughts was first of all, as a "servant of Christ", not of mankind. Paul understood that God did not call him to be creative but obedient, not innovative but faithful. Read Galatians 1:10, For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. The most important quality of a good steward is faithfulness, trustworthiness. God supplies His Word, His Spirit, His gifts, and His power, and He calls His stewards to administer those resources faithfully. Heavenly Father, let us your beloved children learn to be faithful and true to your word. Let us learn to always put others before ourselves. Let us walk by the spirit of love and truth. We must always seek to please you first! We have been called to do a good work unto you Lord. We walk by faith not by sight. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
