"There are two kinds of people in the ministry. The kind of people that want to be somebody, and the kind of people who want to help somebody!" Which one are you?
In order to be as effective as Jesus was during His earthly ministry we must become more like him! Great revelation...Duh! I had developed ego-centric and self serving tendancies. Which made me a leader who thought that the people around me existed for my benefit! I was reminded that Jesus Himself said, "I came to serve, not to be served!" If serving / helping others is my goal then God will always bring people around me that I can help, not bring people around me to help me!
This encounter reminded me of a banner that was put up in the front of a chruch hosting a conference that stated, "People like you make people like me go!" If we are not trying to "be somebody," and are tryng to "help somebody., we will then and only then become a leader like Jesus!
