Greatness In Serving Others

The following is an email message by sister Mimi to all TWOS sisters, posted with permission....


Shalom Betty & Sisters,

That was a very detailed report of the meeting we had on Sunday and truly I do believe that in every church, this part of the ministry which is so vitally important for the growth and welfare of the members, yet seemed to be overlooked. This step we are embarking on now, will certainly see the birth of many Women of God, women of substance, women who will make a difference not only to other lives but also to their own. Also, we are taking steps to be obedient and be more like CHrist in our love and genuine care for others, to serve, to help and to uphold others in their times of need, to elevate others above ourselves..

In Jesus estimation the greatest is he who is least among you. "The way of greatness is not through winning over others. The way is through serving others" It takes more character to be great by being the least.

Willingness to be the least is possible only when we are comfortable with ourselves and who we are.

Secondly, its a choice.
Just like Jesus who is equal to God yet made himself nothing to become a servant.

Thirdly, it can never be motivated by success, $, self exaltation and honour. People desperate for recognition and for praise will find it hard to move in a direction of the least. True glory is the result of a choice we make when we want to do all we can to elevate others above ourselves.
We belong to Christ, we are already Winners.

Christ said in Gal. 6-9
"Let us not be weary in doing good for at a proper time will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore as we have opportunity let us do good to all people especially to those who belong to the Family of Believers"

Amen.
YOU ARE ALL BLESSED. :)

Right, the purpose of TWOS is firstly for ourselves then for others. If we ourselves are not strong we can't reach out to help others. Let's do a little at a time, and we shall see the full growth in ourselves and bear fruits in no time.
