THE Alpha of the True Leader


UV 3158/10000 The Alpha of the True Leader
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ
Matthew 23 v 10

This uni-verse clearly states that just as we have one Father , the One in heaven, so also we have one Master or Leader on earth- Jesus. We should not be presumptuous to call ourselves leaders or teachers for we have only one Leader and Teacher revealed from heaven- the Lord Jesus. We should rather regard ourselves as servants of the Lord. This runs counter to the trend world-wide as believers and workers in the Vineyard of the Lord take pride in calling themselves and getting others to recognize them as leaders by taking on various designations and titles like apostles, bishops, prophets, leaders and so on.
Jesus taught His disciples that it is better to be the servant of as many as possible rather than lording it over others even as He gave Himself as a ransom or payment for everyone. The more people we are serving, the more we lead to the Leader the greater is our calling and our anointing or enablement.
Jesus declared Himself to the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus proved it by His words and His deeds. He proved Himself to be the true Master as He washed His disciples feet, the true Leader for He led by example, the true Teacher for He knows the eternal truth. He overcame the temptations of this world. He overcame death. He overcame the consequences or penalty of sin. Hence, sin could not hold Him prisoner in the grave. He is the only One who imparts His resurrection power to us. He left the Holy Spirit to lead, build, guide, comfort, counsel, encourage and strengthen us.
