Matthew 20:26- 28

Matthew 20:26-28 : yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life ransom for many.

: The measure of greatness is not position, power, or prestige; it is service.  As humans, we easily forget this truth, and believe that the measure of greatness is position, power, greatness, or fame. The world believes the lie that fame is the one way ticket to greatness when it is not. the key to the measure of greatness is service. Service is the act of working or helping others . As christians we must remember that acting out on service for our Lord is not only doing His work, but also a act of self-sacrifice and devotion. Doing our Fathers work and meditating only on Him is the one way ticket to the measure of greatness as we all know it.
The devout christian is very confident in the Lord as she\ he is serving the Lord with fullness of heart. Instead of going after the worlds most wanted worldly fame and fortune, we must give our lives fully to being servants of the Living God that created us for this very purpose.

APPLICATION: when we have servant time, I will do my work, not only to get it over with, but to serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 21 ;19

Luke 21:19 - By your patience, possess your souls. : Here Jesus is talking about patience. " By patience, possess your souls." Patience is key in a believers walk with our heavenly Father. If we are patient, and wait on Him, He will certainly back us up in our spiritual walk with Him, especially in our troubling  times. Our God is a just God, a awesome God who delights in the patience of His children. If we are not patient and don't wait on God, this will grieve our Father immensily . Being patient in tough circumstances is beneficial to the christians way of life. we must always remember that , our Father has our back , no matter how hard the day may be or how loud the spiritual warfare in our heads may get. APPLICATION : Tomorrow, I will be patient if spiritual warfare or conflict comes my way. i will give all my frustrations and worries to my Father in Heaven and will always keep in mind that in tough trials, He has my back, if only I cry out to Him.

Faith

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things unseen : In this verse .it talks about how faith is the substance of things hoped for . Jesus said "If we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains." This is very true !!  if we believe in the Lord our God , whom is very much real but yet unseen , and if we put all our faith in Him, He can help us in the thick and thin of our every day life . Believe it or not, I learned that during my childhood. I had a childhood experience that I will never forget. I know this may sound very far fetched, but, it is the truth that I know most people who have had the same incident happen, would definitley believe. I must have been 7 years of age at the time when this took place . It was a week after my 7th birthday that me and my friend were playing with a flying disc, or as it is called ,frisby at the time in the backyard and were laughing and carrying on like children do, when my frien

Hebrews 13:5

  Hebrews 13:5 - Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself said "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." : In this verse, as we read we notice that it tells us to be content with the things we have and not be covetous.Being content with what we have can sometimes be a bit difficult. as humans, we tend to want more and more or tend to become envious of what others have that we don't. We have the urge to crave more and have more, yet forgetting that we should be happy with what God has provided for us. although there are even some people out there who are content with what our father has provided for them. One such soul was a coal miner, he was dirt poor with only the bread on his table and wore shaggy tattered clothes, he also lived in a shack by himself that was worn down and could easily fall over any day. The question was, did that man complain? No! in fact he said the most heartwarming thing that he could
