Our Purpose Driven Life(English Version)

CHAPTER 34 March 1, 2004 9:49pm - 10:40pm

     The beginning of being a servant is on our mind, what is important to Lord God our Father and our Creator is the reason why we are doing this things not that we are doing this things because it's the right to do. The person lost his "servant heart" because from the eyes of God he help someone but it's not really coming from his heart wholeheartedly. When you are a servant you seldom think of your own sake, because you more care for the sake of others. And this is the meaning of forgetting your own life, and your fellow is more important. Like Jesus Christ he forget about himself for him to be called a servant.

     And it is not right to ask something in exchange for serving our fellow, because the true servant is doing everything for his love to God and not on loving himself or his own desire. And a true servant doesn't think of money but God, and it should not be money and God, you should only choose one, it cannot be combine because if you are servant of God, money will serve you. And if you will serve money then you will be a slave to money.

     It's wrong to do that you will make yourself rich first before you serve God, that's wrong. It should be right now you will be a servant to others no matter what you are now.

     And money is not a sin but you must use your money for God's desire. And your resources or things around you must be use for doing good things.

     Wealth Builder and Kingdom Builder will both make your life improve. But the Wealth Builder make herself rich, but the Kingdom Builder will make you rich to help others and helping the Church.

     It says also in the book that we should not also compare our ministry from others, even if the ministry is small or big we should not criticize the role of everyone, because all of us came from one group and even how big or small will be our role we should respect everyone.

     Because like martha is complaining about maria why she only did little things we should not be like that, and we should not be carry away from the comment of other people like moses, even if the person talking to him saying unpleasant words he was still calm and down to earth talking to the person. And like what nehemiah he was to busy for his mission so he doesn't have time to visit them, them who criticize his works. Because instead of giving attention to those who criticize you to prove that you are really a true servant, in yourself you must know that doing your mission is more important instead of arguing them.

     God does not need part time believers, or those when they feel they wanna help they will help, what God needs are those people who will help others all the time they are needed. Even in the church they will not understand you that's why just do the right thing and what is the betterment for everyone.

     You should not give attention to what other people will say to you. You should be like Christ and down to earth like Jesus Christ, that He wash the feet of His disciples, because He knows Himself and He knows that God already gave His power to Him, and i think God ask Him to do this, and He did it without hesitation. Because if we are secure to ourselves we will not care what other people thinks on us, because we know who we are, and those who are insecure and envy are under us. Because they are afraid to show there weakness and pretending to be a different person. And if we are secure we will have a broad understanding.

     And if you want fame or being admire by others then that is not ministry, that's manipulator it means what you want will be the one to happen. And if you are secure to yourself you will not force others to believe you, because you know what you are doing is right. And the last is a servant want to always help people, they always help everyone and they are enthusiastic to what they are doing. Because of the grace that God give them, and happiness from helping other people. And because they know there rewards, because those people who are sacrificing many things just to fulfill there mission have a rewards for God sees everything.

     And if only 10% are only those who do there mission it's sad so don't waste time and hopefully all of us do there mission. And when maria put expensive oil perfume to Jesus Christ, His apostle said why waste the perfume, but Jesus Christ said it is important, that's why if you know things that are right do it Lord God our Father and our Creator will understand it.

Hopefully many people will be like Christ.
