LEADERSHIP IN THE KINGDOM

Mark 10:45 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."

James and his brother John went to Jesus Christ to lobby for a position in Heaven. They wanted  to sit at the left and right-hand sides of Jesus Christ. But what they told Jesus Christ in secret was revealed to the other disciples. Jesus used this opportunity to teach believers leadership and service in the kingdom.

Two terms mark leadership in the kingdom of God; servants and slaves. Mark 10:43-44 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,  and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all. 
A slave is a person who is the property of another person and whose labor (and sometimes also whose life) is subject to the owner's volition. A servant is hired to perform regular household or other duties and receives compensation as opposed to an enslaved person.
The believer who desires to lead or is already a leader is a slave to Christ Jesus and has been hired by Jesus Christ and the group they are privileged to lead to perform regular services. A leader believer does not Lord it over others but sacrifices for them.

Because God had hired you, God is your reward. In the earlier verses, Peter said to Jesus Christ; we have left all we have to follow you; what is our reward?
Mark 10:29-30 "Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel
will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields —along with persecutions —and in the age to come eternal life.
We don't find ways and means to seek our own reward; as we serve and lead faithfully, God will reward us.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, give me the heart of servant leadership that I may lead and rule according to the rules of the kingdom of God in Jesus' name. Amen
