It takes security to be a leader (or servant); to lead and to serve others.
As a servant leader, we need to be able to synthesize humility with confidence; to be humble and not afraid of what people might say or think in the risk of losing respect/face.
Four Key Areas to be Secure in:
1. Security in self-image
– we conform to the image we SEE ourselves
2. Security in self-worth
– knowing God’s love for us help us to realise our VALUE
3. Right self-esteem
– how we FEEL His love for us determines our confidence
4. Having self-respect
– it is how I honour my DIGNITY
With reference from:
1. “Servanthood (Part D) : Finding yourSELF in Christ” sermon by Pastor Kong Hee
But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. Luke22.26-27
What we think in our heart, we are 🙂
