S4 Revelations

Courage is doing what is right even when its unpopular.
Its one thing to be loyal, its another to REMAIN loyal.
Many 'loyalists' dont remain. They come and they go.

A servant (diakonos) is someone who serves, but remains in himself, he still has a choice to do something else, or to say no. It is a preference.

But a slave (duolos) is someone who serves, but wherever his Master goes, he follows. Whatever his Master does, he does likewise. He has no option, it is a conviction.

Who are you a slave to?

If you can only serve in the area of your talents, what you're gifted at, what you like, what you're passionate about, then who are you serving? YOURSELF! And not others!

Ministry does seek to fulfill not ambition,
But to fulfill the needs of others.

To find a need and meet it, not just to FIND the need.
To find a hurt and heal it. not just to FIND the hurt.

Many people find a need, but dont meet it,
They find a hurt, but dont heal it.

Then you're just not doing what God would be doing.

If you want to conform to 'normality', you will never be creative, innovative or progressive!

But Jesus said to him, 'Anyone who puts his hand to the plough and LOOKS BACK, is NOT fit to be in the Kingdom of God.' - Luke 9:62
