Servant Leadership: THE POWER OF humility
We don’t often equate being humble with having power. There are characteristics that work in the spirit realm through the fruit of the Spirit that do not align with the world. Examples of that are Peace and the force of peace to calm a storm, Love and the might of love to conquer fear and death and Humility and the power of humility to give us access to grace for more of the power of God.
Humility supplies and multiplies everything that grace provides. – Ps. Al Velez
“But He gives us more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it). James 4:6 AMPC
More grace to the humble = more access to His power. That’s the power of humility.
Becoming a servant leader begins with the greatest example – Jesus Christ.
“Have this mind among yourselves that is also in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God to be grasped, but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on the cross. Therefore, God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven, on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”. Philippians 2:5-11 AMPC
Jesus qualified to be given the name that is above all names because He humbled Himself and He charges us to have the same mind of Christ in humility.
