Text: Mark 10:43–45
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
True disciples serve. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be great must be a servant” (Mark 10:43). Service is the pathway to spiritual promotion. A disciple serves with humility, excellence, and joy—not for recognition, but for kingdom advancement. Service is worship in motion.
Service requires sacrifice of time, convenience, and personal preference (Romans 12:11). A disciple sees needs and meets them. Jesus washed His disciples’ feet to demonstrate servant leadership (John 13:14–15). The highest calling is not titles but towels.
Service purifies motives. It exposes pride, entitlement, and laziness. God elevates those who serve faithfully in hidden places (Luke 16:10). David served in obscurity before reigning publicly. Service builds patience, character, and spiritual sensitivity.
A serving disciple attracts God’s grace. Service reproduces Christ’s nature in us, for He came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). When disciples serve, the church thrives, the kingdom expands, and God is glorified. Service is discipleship in action.
Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the heart of a servant and the grace to serve faithfully in Jesus name.
