SCRIPTURE UNDERSTANDING:

Matt 20:25-28

But Yahusha called them near and said, you know that the rulers of the nations are masters over them, and those who are great exert authority over them. But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever wishes to be first among you, let him be your servant, even as the Son of Adam did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.

LUKE 12:48

But he who did not know, yet did what deserved flogging, shall be beaten with few. And to everyone to whom much is given, from him much shall be demanded. And to whom much has been entrusted, from him much more shall be asked.

Romans 12:3-8

For I say, through the favour which has been given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he should think, but to think soberly, as Yahusha has given to each a measure of belief. For as we have many members in one body, but all members do not have the same function, so we, the many, are one body in Messiah, and members each one of one another. Now having different gifts, according to the favour which was given to us, let us use them accordingly: if prophecy accordingly to the proportion of belief; if serving , in the serving; or he who is teaching, in the teaching; or he who encourages, in the encouragement; or he who is sharing, in sincerity; he who is leading in diligence, he who shows compassion, joyously.

Ephesians 4:11-13

And He Himself gave some as emissaries , and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as shepherds and teachers for the perfection of the congregation, to the work and service, to the work of service to the building up of the body of the Messiah (which is us,Him in us). Until we all come to the unity of the belief and of the knowledge of the Son of Yahuah, to a perfect man, to the completeness of Messiah.

James 3:1

Not many of you should become instructors, my brothers, knowing that we shall receive greater judgement.

Phil 2:3-4

Doing none at all through selfishness or self conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each one should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

We have the book of acts as the pattern for the assembly of the last days. Yahusha calls those together whom He chooses to represent His body here on earth, firstly to a revival and judgement of yourself, Then to be made cleansed delivered and new. We are all hewn and chiselled stones by His word so that we fit together as the New Yerushalim. Obviously to become a stone we need to have our behaviour judged and grounded into the shape with sharp instruments, Yashuah wants for us to fit in, where He has placed us. If Yahusha does not do this work on and in us, and if we do not submit to His requirements, (listed above) we will be an unsuitable and unfitable stone.

Yahusha’s teaching is the opposite to what the world considers favourable. We are called out to serve not to be served. To become a leader is no easy task, we are even warned of doing this work, because the judgement is greater……..

To undertake the position of serving is an excruciating and degrading position as far as the world considers, but in Yahusha provides great wisdom and knowledge. It is very hard to be happy and keep it, this is the way to your fulness of joy, if you can pass the test of NO COMPLAINTS.
