Jesus' Leadership Lesson with the Towel....John 13:1-15

Jesus taught one of His greatest leadership with a towel.
My friends, it is very rare to see leaders serving their followers. Yet servant leadership is the example that Jesus set in the gospels for all His followers. Christian are called to embrace a paradigm of servant leadership that is mostly foreign to that which is practiced in the world.
The scripture in the bible (John 13:1-15) teach us that:
1- You cannot love without serving (Jesus showed them the full extent of His love)
2- Only secure people can serve and be servant leaders
3- Servant leaders require humility
4-  Servant leadership includes action not just words
5- A servant leader leads by example
6- Servant leadership "minds the gap" between what we say and what we do
7- Greatness is serving. In Mark 10:42-44 - we read:
"Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all"
8- The way down is the way up...In Philippians we read:

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself

and became obedient to death, even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place

and gave him the name that is above every name" 

Therefore, as Christians we have a golden opportunity to pray for all our leaders and ourselves that our attitude should be Christlike.
I love you all &

Remain blessed!

Listen to the voice of God speaking!

Just because God tells you to be still doesn’t mean that He has something to say to you all the time maybe He just has something to do…through His Word He’s already spoken!!! it could just mean that He is working some things out and you need to be still to stay out of the way…Because we have a habit of getting in the way, we even get in our own way…
When He says be Quiet it means just that don’t talk He knows what’s in your heart and what’s on your mind… your mouth does not need to be moving all the time…Sometimes He’s just getting you to perfect your obedience…(Listen) Means just that Listen to when I say be quiet or be still…Not Listen for me to say something…again He’s already spoken through His Word…
He’s training… Jesus said “Watch and pray“…Study to show yourself approved unto God, When the Lord tells you to get up out of your bed and pray,, When He tells you to be quiet, When He tells you to be Still that’s what it is just that!!! Now that you know when He speaks and your obedient enough to listen… Then and only then might He be able to give you that mountain top experience.. And that mountain top experience is not just for you to hold on to. Its where we get some instruction. Now it’s time to allow God to do something through you.. Come down the mountain and do a good work.. You were able to hear His voice clearly now because you‘re in a covenant relationship with Him.… Allow God to be God we are not in control we need to get out of the way.. We have to be all poured out so the spirit of God can enter in..
