God calls every Christian to lead — but with the heart and soul of a servant. When we stand in the presence of our Lord what words do you want to hear Him say? “Well done! Good and faithful servant.” In this scripture reference it doesn’t say anything about good and faithful “leader.” We must not let Satan use the administrative responsibilities of our ministries to tempt us in believing that we are of greater importance than others.
The Apostle Paul is considered a great leader of the New Testament, yet his attitude concerning himself was “I am less than the least of God’s people.” Humility and humbleness are the main characteristics of the children of God. Every Christians’ leadership role is solely to lead the lost out of darkness. There is no greater example of love and passion than giving up your life to this calling.
Paul and Peter teach us about submission to authority in God’s Word. It should be a simple task for those who know their calling. Let me finish by leaving you with some of Jesus’ words. “The first shall be last and the last shall be first.” “Unless you change and become like a child, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
