NEVER REDUCE YOUR VALUE TO PEANUTS
NEVER REDUCE YOUR VALUE TO PEANUTS: THE HUMBLE SERVANT LEADER
James 4:10, Matthew 23:11–12, Philippians 2:5–7
How often do we forget that true greatness is revealed not in what we achieve, but in how low we’re willing to stoop to serve others?
💡 Key Reminder:
True greatness is not about status or titles, but about the humility to serve others selflessly.
Humility is power under control.
The Lesson of Humility from Prophet T.B. Joshua
The late Prophet T.B. Joshua, one of God’s great generals, left behind a legacy not only of faith but of humble servant leadership.
💬 Example:
Prophet T.B. Joshua sponsored over 35 Americans to attend a Crusade in Mexico, spending tens of thousands of dollars.
Despite his position, his impact, and his success, he was not afraid to kneel in moments of honor and humility.
He demonstrated that humility does not diminish your value—it enhances it.
The Power of Humility
1️⃣ Humility Elevates You
The more you humble yourself, the higher God elevates you.
James 4:10: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
2️⃣ Humility Is Strength, Not Weakness
The world may see humility as a sign of weakness, but in truth, it is a sign of inner strength and security.
Matthew 23:11–12: “The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
3️⃣ Humility Protects Your Value
The world may offer you peanuts—small rewards, temporary applause, or fleeting attention.
When you understand your value in Christ, you won’t sell your soul to the world or reduce your worth.
Instead, you will serve with grace, knowing that your reward comes from God.
Lessons from Humility
💭 “The highest places are reached by those willing to kneel.”
Humility is about:
Remembering your roots: Never forget where you started and the people who helped you along the way.
Serving others selflessly: Great leaders lead by example and serve without expecting anything in return.
Submitting to God’s will: True humility acknowledges that everything we achieve comes from God.
How to Walk in Humility
1️⃣ Stay Grounded
- No matter how high you rise, remember that your success is not your own doing but a gift from God.
2️⃣ Serve Others
Look for opportunities to serve others, even when it seems inconvenient.
True leadership is servant leadership.
3️⃣ Guard Your Heart
- Don’t let success breed pride. Keep your heart pure and focused on glorifying God, not yourself.
4️⃣ Value the Right Things
- Don’t chase after the world’s approval or rewards (peanuts). Seek eternal treasures by living a life that honors God.
Final Encouragement
As you strive for success in life, remember:
Humility will open doors that pride will close.
The greatest leaders are those who never forget how to serve others.
Philippians 2:5–7: “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant.”
A Prayer for Humility
🙏 Heavenly Father, teach me to walk in humility. Help me to serve others selflessly and to value the things of Heaven more than the fleeting rewards of this world. Keep my heart pure and grounded, and let my life reflect Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
