Your Calling Won’t Be Convenient

God has called you to be a leader. Leadership is influence. You are influenced and an influencer.  In the Kingdom of God, Leadership = Service

Matthew 7:16(NIV)

By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

Mark 10:45 (NIV)

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many

Luke 19:10-11 (NIV)

10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” 11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once.

1. Serving isn’t convenient.

Matthew 5:41 (NIV)

If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.

Matthew 5:25-28 (NIV)

Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Serve people who don’t deserve it. The Church is the people. You are supposed to carry the influence of God wherever you go and change the world.  Go serve someone who may or may not deserve it.

2. Serving has a dramatic impact on the lives of others.

3. There’s a blessing that comes with serving.: When you upgrade someone else, God upgrades you. You’ll never find happiness until you reach a hand out to someone else.

4. Serving positions you for your destiny: When you get a request to serve, it exposes pride. Serving prepares you to handle the success God calls you to.
