THE ATTITUDE OF SERVICE
SCRIPTURE: “So Joseph found favour in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority” – Genesis 39:4
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Do not struggle for status; struggle for service and service will give you status.
The word ‘service’ implies the act of going out of your way as the case may be to be useful to someone or an organization in achieving or satisfying their desired needs.
It is an established fact that leaders are processed in the school of service. Until you have served successfully, you cannot lead effectively. The art of leadership is learnt in the school of service. Service, therefore, is what makes leaders.
When you assist others to see the fulfilment of their visions, God will assist you in the fulfilment of your vision. For instance, Joseph interpreted dreams for the butler and the baker, and the outcome was that God interpreted his own dream and brought it to pass.
It was Zig Ziglar who said, “You will get all you want in life, if you help other people get what they want.” That is to say, you will get anywhere you want to get in life if you help other people get to where they want to be in life. And it is possible where some people want to reach is not as far as where you want to reach.
You are looking for fifty million Naira to handle a project while someone is looking for fifty thousand Naira; assist him with the fifty thousand Naira. When God sees that He will say, “You assisted him with fifty thousand Naira? I will help you with fifty million Naira”. HALLELUIAH!
Remember this: Do not struggle for status; struggle for service and service will give you status.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Make yourself available to serve in any capacity.
2. Make service a lifestyle.
