But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:25-28 NLT
Changing the world takes intentional action.
Lead by example.
The Son of God came as a servant. Those who serve Him, serve others. Those who love Him, love others.
How may I help you? How may I pray for you today?
Those two questions are powerful relationship builders. Practice them with the people you know and others in your sphere of influence. God will work miracles.
Father God, take our eyes off of ourselves and our agendas, and put them back where they belong, on You and Your Church. Let us be the hands and feet and mouthpieces of the Holy Spirit. Let us righteously represent the Kingdom of God in everything we do and say. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen!
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
Colossians 3:16-17 NLT
To build yourself up more in the faith, read Matthew 20 and Colossians 3.
