The Crown of Glory.

                                                                   The Crown of Glory.    

                                                                                Lords or Servants?

To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them-not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; “Not Pursuing Dishonest Gain”, but “Eager To Serve”; “Not Lording It Over Those Entrusted To You”, but “Being Examples” to the flock.  And when the Chief Shepherds appears, you will “Receive the Crown of Glory” that will never fade.  (1 Peter 5:1-4)


A Servant Seek to “Serve”, a Lord Seek to Make “Dishonest Gain”.


Our Daily Nugget

is letting us know “The Goals” of a “Servant Elder” and a “Lord Elder”.  A Lord Elder is seeking “Dishonest Gain” (money) and will attempt to “Braw Beat People” and will “Not Be Humble”.  A Servant Elder does not seek “Dishonest Gain” (money), they seek the “Salvation of the Souls” of those “Entrusted To His Care”. “They Are Humble” and the people “Are Not His People” they are “God’s People”.   A Lord Elder will look at the people as his “Cash Cow”.


The Lord Elder, Demands that the people

 “Submit to His Will”, even though He Refuse to “Submit to God’s Will”.


Each of us can be a Servant Elder or a Lord Elder.  


“Why” do we do what we do; For Money or For Love?  The Servant Elder “Does Not” look at the Church as “His Business”; The Lord Elder says, these are My People, My Business; “I Am The Boss” of this Business.


The Bible calls a 

Servant Elder a “True Teacher”, it calls the Lord Elder a “False Teacher”.  Jesus says, “My Sheep Hear My Voice”, Jesus’s Sheep “does not hear the voice of the False Teacher”.  The False Teacher’s “Main Concern” is to Make Money.  The True Teacher’s Main Concern is to Make Kingdom Citizens Live and Look like Jesus.


Determine Today to Receive the Crown of Glory; 

“Humble Yourself”.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) 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 (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” 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 Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
