🔸️ The Treasured possessions of God are those who are humble in human eyes! 🔸️
Certain people in this world may not even care about "climbing on the others' shoulders or trampling down others under their feet" in order to gain the highest position for them. In today's world of Christian-evangelical ministry, it is surprising and painful to see people who like this position and want to hold on to it! These evil Christians have great longing desire to become superintendents, elders, treasurers, committee secretaries and mobilize the majority of people in support of them...!!
All of these are utterly contrary to the spirit of the Lord Jesus! Anyone who has seen the glory of God, would never run the disgusting mouse-race to achieve the glory of this world or the glory of the gospel-ministry world, would never join himself in the race!! He will be keenly desire and vigorous in pursuing the goal (the prize) that God has called him in Christ Jesus. Apart from this, with the sole intention of pouring water for others and sweeping the floor... his main purpose would be to glorify his God on this Earth!!
Those who are God's precious possessions... are probably found among the common people and among the unknown people in our churches!!
May God bless us with the desire in our hearts to "be great before the Lord" as John the Baptist was! (Luke 1:15). There is a reason why John the Baptist was so great before the eyes of God. As he himself revealed it, all he had ever wanted in his life was... "He must become greater; I must become less!" (John 3:30) Yes, in order that Christ must always be the Supremacy... but he constantly went backstage and sought to fade away!!
Prayer:
Our heavenly Father! Let our desire of being great before the Lord has always been before us; please be gracious on us to live humbly in this world! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
