Becoming a G.O.A.T

From Our Pastor's Desk

This message is a tribute to all those at the frontline of the covid-19 battle, the medical doctors, nurses, health workers, social workers, the teachers, the various governments, task forces etc. You’re all G.O.A.T.s Thank you.

Greatness is not for us, but for others. We were born with gifts, and to serve the gifts. Your gift is not for you. Greatness is like a smile. When you smile, others can see it, but you cannot. It benefits others more than it does you.

Proverbs 18:16 – “A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men” Greatness is service. Anytime you serve humanity, success is a natural by-product. Examples are Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King Jr. etc. And the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) Himself – our Lord Jesus Christ.

Greatness is a growth process of becoming more like Jesus Christ. It is an ongoing process of surrender and obedience.  MARK 10:42-45 – And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” These verses clearly define “greatness.”

And in the words of the Lord, there is only one thing, one role, He recognizes as the true measure & definition of greatness – servanthood. Our servant role is the measurement of greatness because it makes us like the Greatest Servant ever – the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nothing is of greater importance in the life of a Christian than conforming to the image of Jesus. Let that be the ultimate measure of greatness – becoming more and more like the Servant of Servants. Lord Jesus, please help us to be more like You, live as one privileged to serve, not deceived to think we are to be served, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.

You will have a great turn-around this 2020.

Remain blessed. 

Shalom.
