Ask any young person what he would like to
be when he grows up. The normal response is - I want to be a doctor, lawyer,
engineer, teacher, architect and the list goes on. Have you heard any one
saying, "I want to be a servant?"
One of the key principles to leadership is
servanthood. Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be great among you must be your
servant, and whoever wants to be the first among you must be your slave. (Matt.
20: 26-27) Notice, Paul always referred
to himself as 'a servant of Jesus Christ.' Turn with me to Isaiah 42: 1 'Behold
my servant whom I uphold.' Those were the words of prophecy concerning Jesus
who took upon himself the form of a servant.
Prayer of Humility
. . . All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ''God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.'' Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. - 1 P 1 Peter 5: 5-7
