The Greatest Is The Childish (part Two)
Friends we had discussed the three ways the master described greatness, and we ended up saying that true greatness comes through kingdom principle.
The truth is God created the world and left it running on principles and each principle you decode and follow tenaciously gets you its designed result.
What ever genuine height you desire to attain has its principle rooted in the word of God and you need to search it out then apply, it is that simple, it works faster than you can imagine.
Principle of greatness.
With what I just said in mind am sure a lot of people will want to ask; what then is the principle of greatness? Well we will have to look at the life of the greatest man ever lived, whose greatness is still a shock to the world, such that science can't explain it still, the archaeologist can't decipher His code of conduct and principles, and men of worth are yet to understand His kind of person but yet He lived a simple earthly life and His name is Jesus.
Philippians 2:5-11
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Wow! Hope you read through this verses with me, by this Bible verses it so clear that the Kingdom principle of greatness is HUMILITY.

We saw how Jesus without minding His exalted position which He had as God and purposely made Himself of no repute, never thought it to be cheating when He was sent to serve the people He created, to pay for a crime He never committed, forfeiting His rights and wore upon Himself the suit of a servant and gave Him self willingly to be killed on an altar of service.
He had a choice, if He had decided not to obey His father He still wouldn't be less a God than He was, angels were there also, He could have commanded one of them to take up the task and they dare not refuse, but no, He decided otherwise.
Pride has rubbed christians of their rights in the kingdom, the Bible says it goes before a fall and that God Himself stands in the way of the proud making sure He fails (James 4:6) God's hatred for pride is unimaginable, it was this same that excommunicated satan from heaven, it has ruined kings and had made supposed be great men useless, it is simply a killer of destiny! If God stands against a man tell then who will ever dare help him.
Often people excuse selfishness, pride, or evil by claiming their "rights". They think thus, " I can cheat on this exam; after all I deserve to pass this class" or " I can spend all these money on my self~ I worked for it" or " I can get an abortion; I have a right to my body". But not so, as believers we should have a different mind set, one that enables us to lay aside our rights, drop pride in other to serve others, even when we are not likely to get recognition for our efforts.

True greatness is to give others a raise, to help others achieve purpose and allow God help you achieve yours. Ask yourself this question, are you selfishly clinging to your rights or are you willing to serve!
End of part 2.
Next, we will be looking at how humble and humbled Jesus was that made Him get so exulted above all odds, remembered you are as a son of God now as He is and can achieve a relative result if you follow His steps, be my guest. God bless you.
I write as am inspired!
