Learning To Serve

The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule.
Albert Einstein


Lately I have entered an intense season of my life. I've been working on starting a business with a close friend and building a media team with some amazing leaders at my Church. I have pushed myself in these previous seasons to serve hard for my Lord. I was once told by my Pastor Glen Johnson that three things determine promotion:

1. Be faithful with whats not yours 
2. Be faithful with your finances 
3. Be faithful in the little things.

I have set my eyes on those three goals in my daily work. What I have found has completely blown me away. I've found that I have craved to do more. With each new difficult task, I find myself wanting more difficult tasks. I find myself pushing myself and stretching myself beyond what I would normally do. Suddenly I began to see potential in those around me. More over as I began to push myself I noticed others pushing themselves and I became aware that God was at work in my environment.

Both leaders and volunteers have began stepping up in the natural and supernatural in an attempt to further the vision of God for our church. Our hearts have been set ablaze with the desire to server our Lord. I could not be more proud to be serving aside the men and women God has placed in our church. I feel absolutely humbled at every meeting. Suddenly my voice has gained audience with men and women who I could never compare myself with.

God's highest plan for our lives is servant hood. Let me tell you friends... there is no better work on the earth.  I would die for the opportunities afforded to me daily.

Learning to serve has been a difficult process and no doubt one I will continue my entire life. The more I am placed in charge of others and tasks I find that I must learn to server those who follow me. What an example I have the privileged to set... to teach them to serve first hand.

This has come at a great costs to my soul. To my flesh. I have spent many nights in prayer and have had to eat my words more than once. In killing my selfish desires and pride I have found a desire to serve that I never thought possible.
