*KINGDOM LEADERSHIP - PART 3*
Benefits of Kingdom Leadership
Matthew 6:33(KJV): Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33(Good news Translation): Instead, be concerned above everything else with the kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.
🔖 One of the big points we observed in the previous article is that a kingdom leader is a servant leader and we read the verse where Jesus said that if anyone wants to be the greatest in the kingdom of God, he/she must be willing to serve.
🔖 Kingdom Leadership also means Kingdom service, so in this article, we are going to be looking at the benefits of serving in the kingdom of God.
✨Just like we cannot serve in a place and not get benefits, there is no service that does not come with benefits, though it might not always be monetary but they can still be called benefits, and we can agree that benefits that comes from our services to man is not fully or completely sorrow free and satisfying and it does not always measure up to the amount of work or service delivered.
In the kingdom of God, it is not so, every benefits that comes from our service to God is sorrow free and fully satisfactory.
Some of them are;
🥂 Blessings (Exodus 23:25-26)
KJV:And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26
KJV:There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
From the scripture, we can see the various Blessings mentioned; Food, water, good health, fruitfulness and long life. The good thing is we don't have to chase all these things, the Bible in Matthew 6:33 already states that "...they shall be added unto us" and proverbs 10:22 says that the blessings of the lord maketh rich and he added no sorrow with it. Which tells us that the blessings of God are sorrow free(Glory🥳)
🥂 Express answers to prayers (Isaiah 58:9; John 15:16)
KJV:Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
(John 15:16KJV):Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
🥂 Divine guidance (John 10:10)
KJV:The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
🥂 Peace of mind
When we have the blessings of God and the assurance+ the promises in his word, we become stable emotionally and have peace of mind.
🥂A life that flourishes💯.
Psalm 1:2-3
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. As long as we continue to bear fruits, He makes it possible for us to continue therein. A servant who is useful to his master will forever be His delight and love. He causes everything He does to prosper.
🥂Posterity
Psalm 22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. Service in the Kingdom procures generational blessings. Abraham, through his service obtained blessings for Himself and all his seeds (Genesis 12:3), which we are. King David served faithfully and Solomon was blessed in return.
When we are sold out to God in service, He blesses us. And when we remain sold out, we remain in His payroll for blessings. The only cure for curses is blessings. And this can only be gotten on the platform of our service.
Exodus 23:25 "Thou shall serve the LORD your God and he shall bless".
May we be empowered with Grace to serve faithfully in Jesus name. Amen
