Read Mark 10:43-45- He is saying here that we cannot operate in His family like we operate worldly families. “Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.” Being accepted in God’s Family means that we are accepted in order to serve others. The entire Kingdom of God works on a servant motivation. If we do not grasp this, it is difficult to advance in the Kingdom. The question is, what are you and I going to do with this truth and how are we applying it as we walk out our daily path and assignment? As we go to church are, we going to use our authority in order to bless. Are we going to look for someone to show acceptance and to build up? This is a question we need to consider! I trust we will.
- This is a season when you should seek to fear the Lord more than ever before more than you fear men or yourself. The fear of Lord makes the other 6 spirits of God to operate.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in areas where you have compromised your standards in the past for fear of men, and circumstances more than fear of God.
- You can only have reverent fear of a god whose discipline you submit to. It is a season of becoming serious soldiers in His army and no more behaving like civilians. The disciplines of fasting, prayer, word intake, fellowship with likeminded brethren, should become top priorities in your diary.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to help you change your desires, preferences to become those of a soldier who has counted the cost and is willing to pay the price to enter 2021.
