Text: Mathew 20:25-28

Exhortation:
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable- Psalm 145:3. The angels that attend to Him are mighty. Everyone that put his faith in Christ has the seed of greatness in him. However, God’s idea of achieving greatness is different from man’s. It is neither in the amount of cash in your bank account; nor on the people you know.
The Jews missed their Messiah because they were expecting a physically impressive and domineering Saviour; but Christ came as a suffering servant!
In today’s text, the Lord affirmed, “The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23:11-12. The Lord himself came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
The more obedient you become the mightier you will be in the kingdom of God; the more souls you win into God’s kingdom, the greater you will be in His sight; the more lives you impact positively, the more relevant you will be.
Your relevance, if any, ends here on Earth if you have not surrendered your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Author of true greatness.
Prophetic Nugget: Receive grace to be truly great in Jesus name.
