Philippians 2:3- Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
what do I mean by serving others?
If you're a woman and you have a maid, if i ask you how many times you have plaited your maid's hair, I'm sure the answer would be never. But if i ask you how many times you have plaited your daughters hair, I'm m sure you've lost count. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. Humility is you serving someone you're bigger than. Humility is not you serving someone that is bigger than you, No, that's sycophancy.
Humility is when you're a boss, looking at the untied lace of your employee's shoe, and then bending down and help him tie it.
The life that you have, God gave you. The Money in your account, it isn't because you worked so hard that you have it. It's because God loved you that's why He gave you such wealth.
So really, why should we be proud? Why should we be pompous? why should we be boastful?
A man can receive nothing except from the Lord.
So instead of being boastful, be helpful, be thankful to God for the good things you have, and learn to recognize when people are in need, and offer help.
Jesus Christ, so powerful, that healed the leper, raised the dead, opened the eyes of the blind, turned water to wine, e.t.c still humbled himself and allowed himself to die on the cross. Why? Cos he came to the world to serve. To serve means to be a servant. It was after he died on the cross, that he was now even more glorified and sat on the right side of GOD.
1. So being a servant is the easiest secret to be a Leader, To be a president, To be a Teacher, To be a master.
When accessing the most effective types of leadership, using the managerial grid model of Blake and Mouton, the participative style of leadership(Servant leadership) is presented as the approach with the greatest possible performance and employee satisfaction.
2. Most people want someone higher/richer to be their friend, to talk to them, to hang out and have fun with them, Yet they hate people lower than them, they will never smile with anyone of a lower class.
To Do: You make yourself available to people lower than your status, be nice to them, take them out once in a while. Call them and check up on them.
I pray and hope that we all will put down our worth, pride, ego, awards, And start to focus on impacting other peoples lives positively.
More truths coming your way soon.......
