Be Inspired To Serve

Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant (Matthew 20:26-27).

The responsibility of service is the key to greatness! The opening scripture underscores this truth; the word “minister” is from the Greek word “diakonos” and it means a servant, or an attendant, one who serves or runs errands for others. As Christians, we’ve been called to service; both of God and of mankind. God is mindful and concerned about people more than anything else.

So, when you’re concerned about serving people through your work, the Lord will be mindful of your success and prosperity; He’ll cause everything you do to prosper. The Bible says there’s profit in all labour (Proverbs 14:23). Therefore, it doesn’t matter the job or business you do, when your goal is to render quality service, your greatness will be inevitable. But greed has stopped many from being service-conscious as they should. Don’t let the desire to have be your driving force in life. The Bible says there’s profit in all labour (Proverbs 14:23).

Therefore, it doesn’t matter the job or business you do, when your goal is to render quality service, your greatness will be inevitable. But greed has stopped many from being service-conscious as they should. Don’t let the desire to have be your driving force in life. Greed is the undue ambition for gain and inordinate desire to amass wealth for oneself. Refuse to yield yourself to it, don’t let it rule your life, trade, business or profession; rather, become motivated by the joy of service.

Be inspired by the importance and relevance of your job or business towards the betterment of society. Make yourself needed, relevant and indispensable to your generation by choosing to serve, for that is the pathway to greatness. Be inspired to serve.
