The ministry of the Sons of GOD is to serve all mankind, pure and simple. If you are unwilling to serve and give of yourself now in your current state or situation, do you think that you will be called to serve all mankind? If you are insecure in the revelation of Love, you will not produce fruit of service to others. Instead, you will continue to be a “taker” and extract time and resources from any unsuspecting soul you encounter.
Those who acquire power and authority from the world always exalt themselves above others. They enjoy the spotlight and often belittle others in order to keep it. True greatness does not require men’s accolades but instead focuses on how to help others in need. They expand their influence to help mankind rather than keep their influence restricted to those who would perpetuate and support their ego. Jesus encountered the scribes and the Pharisees who sit in Moses’ seat. They were consistent in their quest to exalt their status above others. Jesus set the record straight:
Matthew 23:10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.
11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
This is where you must discern the difference between your intent and your acts. If you outwardly serve in order to gain notoriety, then you have missed the point. If you are serving because you have a heart to serve, you have realized fruitfulness in your life. We are called to serve but it must be done with the proper intent and motive. As you die to the flesh you will want to serve and minister Love to others. You will have no problem serving anyone whom the LORD places before you. It may be a beggar or it may even be a wealthy person, it matters not to you. You treat both as a ministry unto FATHER. You will be kind to the stranger and those who profess to be your enemy. You will be constant in your walk. You are secure in your revelation of Love and you will bless, redeem, and restore as you are given the opportunity.
Jesus brought this home in the Gospel of Love:
John 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him,
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
Here we have the SON OF GOD washing dirty, stinking, ugly feet. This was a task reserved for the lowest servant of rank but Jesus was confident in HIS greatness as He revealed what true greatness is all about: serving others. His example was given for us to follow. There is no task too small or menial for ones who are called to serve. They simply do an excellent job in whatever they are given to do. They are easy to find when things need to get done and they don’t become invisible when the task gets difficult. They have been known to turn off the light when everyone else has departed. These are the ones destined to be chosen for the most critical service to mankind. They truly embrace the call to serve ALL! When power and authority are completed by Love, the fullness of a giving heart is manifested and is prepared to serve.
