The Form of A servant

''... But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men.... humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.Phil 2:6-8”

Every man grows up to become a “master”. Experience, expertise and exposures tend to make man a master. Exploits done for the Lord automatically place a status on your life. Years of service, years of ministry, years of revelation from God seek to make a “master” out of you. “Masters” are men who direct but Jesus took upon Himself the form of a servant! This again was His personal choice.

No one imposed it on Him. He took it upon Himself. This is the crux of the matter. If you desire to remain a master it is your right. Years of service imposed it on you- exposure, experience, expertise and exploits made and carved out such a seat for you. But you can lay it aside to continually tie around yourself the towel of service... Though no man would call on you to serve (actually, men will agree to serve you. Men will run around for you), you must also lay it aside, if you must bear God’s glory upon your life for a long time.
