Loving the "sword"
"Sword of the spirit"... the word of God..I totally LOVE!When i was a young christian, i never really could understand why people are able to spend time studying or reading the Bible.. to me it was a total chore! Ha!
But i've grown to love not just Him, but His every Word, both written and spoken. I've realised the immense truth in every sentence, every punctuation and every paragaph, that no mere human words can compare.
No wonder the Bible says that the extent you love the Word is the extent you love God.
Last Sunday, the CGLs had dinner at Rolands. Dr AR Bernard came and he shared from the word.
And in that short span of 15mins, i was blown away by yet another revelation about leadership that i've never known.
John 13:1-9 spoke about Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.
Question:
Was Jesus serving them or was He leading them?
Jesus was leading them. He LED by SERVING.
And thats the way the kingdom of God works.
Servant is my identity. It is who I am. And as a servant, nothing is beneath me. I don't choose the time, the "how", the place, the "who" to serve.
Leading is what I do.
"Servant is who i am, lead is what i do"
So, are you a leader who serves? Or a servant who leads?
