KISLEV 2

Promotion

 

 There are several standard requirements in the kingdom of our Creator that will put us in line for ‘promotion’:  humility, obedience, and the heart of a servant.  All these qualifications walk hand in hand and can even be called mirror images of each other.  A successful servant is one who is both obedient and humble, and a servant that has been proven trustworthy in their obedience will be rewarded (Jam 4:10).  However, it is difficult to cultivate the heart of a willing servant without both attributes of humility and obedience.

 

“But it will not be so among you. But whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.  And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your servant; Even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, BUT TO SERVE, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mat 20:28, emphasis mine)

 

The humble, obedient and willing heart of a servant is the heart-beat of our Messiah Yeshua.  Anything else that is not birthed out of these principles has its root in pride and arrogance – the opposite of humility - and will be the death of any promotion in the kingdom of our Father.  The heart of servant is one always willing to obey, and like Samuel, will answer, “Here I am” (1Sam 3:4).

 

 

“… make my joy complete by being of the SAME MIND, having the same love, one in being and of purpose, doing none at all through selfishness or self-conceit, but IN HUMILITY consider others better than yourselves.  Each one should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” (Phi 2:2-4 HRB, emphasis mine)

 

“But above all these put on love, which is a bond of the perfection.” (Col 3:14)

 

 Our Elohim can do tremendous things through people who take no notice as to who gets the credit for what is done …
