Servants.

                                                                              Servants.


“Serve” The Lord “First”, by Serving Others.


Not so with you.  Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave to all.  For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.  (Mark 10:43-45)


When we “Serve The Lord First”, “Everything Else Falls In Place”.


In our Daily Nugget

we have Jesus’ reply to two brothers, James and John, two of Jesus’ Disciples, who had asked him to let them sit next to him, one on the right and one on the left, when he sit on His Throne in Heaven.  The other ten disciples were mad at them for asking this.  Maybe they were mad because they wanted those seats.  Jesus said to them that a desire to rule over people is a “worldly desire” and that Christians should not Think Like That.  Christians should “Desire a Wordly Spirit”, which is a Servant’s Spirit, instead of a worldly spirit. 


Servants Don’t Rule Over, “Servants Serve With Gladness”. 


Servant - Refers to “complete devotion and submission” to God rather than a menial job.  The original languages imply total ownership, highlighting a “relationship” of deep trust, willing sacrifice, and “active” obedience to a master.


Beware of “Worldly Desires Reigning In Our Heart/Mind”, our Thinking..

Even though worldly desires might seem innocent, they are not.

 Worldly Desires are from Satan, not from God!


The world leads us to Desire to be Rulers; Christians must remember that God and Jesus have called us to be Servants, not Rulers.  A Good Ruler must first be “A Good Servant”.  When we serve the lest of the people, “We Are Serving Christ”.


The Destiny of A Good and Faithful Servant.


His master replied, Well done, “Good and Faithful Servant”!  Your have been Faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.  “Come And Share Your Master’s Joy”!  (Matthew 25:21)


One of the Best Things I Can Do For Me, is 

“To Serve You”!

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 ...
