Kingdom of God
Did you ever notice that in the kingdom of God titles and labels have no value? The label which we ever called will be “faithful servant.” Our Lord Jesus Christ was also a servant leader. He said that “he came to the world not to be served, but to serve”. God vehemently criticized wherever people became boastful about their titles and labels. Nimrod, in Old Testament, was a giant and he tried to be something by building a huge “Babel Tower.” God came and confounded their language and toppled his plan. Every moment in our life was a “given” or even an “extended” time God provided for us. We have to be good stewards of what we have. Herod, in Acts chapter 12 tried to be boastful while he was listening to the praises his folks him being elevated in a new “title” as God, God struck him down and he was no more. If we get provision, in the kingdom of God we better not boast, but use it for His glory. Esther became the queen in Persia. At the cost of her life she used her title for the sake of her people’s deliverance. Consequently, the majority was subjugated by minority. At our eventful reunion in heaven, we will be called not by our labels (titles) but as servants. Do we still think highly about ourselves or are being grateful to God of what we have? In revelation during the worship service John the apostle saw a beautiful scene. Twenty four elders took their crowns and placed feet of our Lord and prostrated before Him and worshipped Him. Our God is the sovereign Lord and we better realize that we are privileged to be His servants.
