Servants Rights


Those who follow Jesus and have the hope of eternal life have been called to be servants of the Kingdom of God. Jesus Himself came to serve and not to be served. He said to His disciples that the greatest amongst you will be the servant of the others. A servant has no working hours. He is constantly at the hand of his Master, available to serve, day and night.
As followers of Jesus we willfully submit ourselves to the Master, day and night. We do His will, we speak His Words. We do not follow after our own initiatives but we follow His guidance. We work His plan. Many do not want to submit to Jesus, they do not want to serve Him as Lord and Master. If we do not want to serve Him, we are not part of the Kingdom of Heaven. We do not regard Him as King, as Lord, as Master. If we still have rights and preferences, we cannot be following Jesus. We cannot be seeking the Kingdom of God. We cannot be seeking to be pleasing to Jesus if we still want to express our own opinion and enforce ourselves. Then it is about us and not about Him. If we follow Jesus, we are constantly tuned into His Spirit, who lives in us and we receive our direction from Him and He will guide us, He will send us, He will use us. He will put His Words in your mouth. He will give you detailed instructions. It will play off in your mind because you are tuned in to Him. You are listening and you are seeking to be pleasing to Him. Those who follow Him will never be in darkness, they operate under direct guidance of the Holy Spirit because they seek to be pleasing to their Master. They are constantly tuned in to Him, they have the mind of Christ. They have become servants of the Master.
Have you become a servant of the Kingdom of God? Is Jesus your Master and are you seeking to CONSTANTLY be pleasing to Him?  If we love Him, we will obey Him, we will follow Him and we will make ourselves available to Him, all the time. We will have the heart of a servant. Have you become a servant of the Kingdom of God? May Jesus bless you.
