AIMING FOR THE HEART Servanthood requires a mental shift. It means moving from a self focused life to a God focused life. The servant is the person who is willing to be incovenienced for the sake of furthering the Kingdom of God by helping someone else. Jesus is our Lord and Master, but He was also a master servant when He walked the Earth. Before Jesus was crucified, He showed His love for the disciples by washing their feet. His demonstration of servanthood shows us how we are to treat one another. Jesus had no problem taking on a servant role, even though He was God in the flesh! God has always served man because His heart is love. In Matthew 23:11 He says,But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And Mark 10:44 says, And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. Clearly, being a servant is the path to being elevated. Jesus could have chosen His will over the Fathers will when He faced His crucifixion. In fact, that He wanted to die in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:33-34). But at the end of the day, Jesus chose the will of God for His life over His own feeling. God will never forget what you have done to serve Him and others. By making a quality decision to walk in His love and place His agenda before your own, you will be a genuine demonstration of the character of Jesus. DESTINY BY REV. CREFLO DOLLAR
