It is the Heart of a Son to Serve

Anyone who desires to fulfill his or her God-given call is encouraged to help serve a leader.  You will never arrive at a place where you do not have to submit to anyone.  It is the heart of a son to serve.

Questions to consider:

1. Who are you serving now?
2. Has it been easy serving?
3. Are you lifting the hands of your leader?
4. Are you keeping the way clear for your leader?
5. When can assisting a leader be difficult?
6. Can you lift up another, even when you feel you've been treated unfairly?

Like everyone, I too have had to deal with the temptation of getting into strife and a stubborn refusal to submit in some areas of life.  However, the Lord has given me grace and I learn to call upon Him and trust Him completely for my steps.

When you determine to take on the sonship spirit you will be set free from rebellion, strife and contention. 

Think back to the times of ministry when rebellion knocked at the door of your heart.  Look back at times when strife and contention were a part of relationships around you in the ministry. 

Take time to ask the Lord to heal you from any wounds that may have been caused at these times.  Ask the Lord to forgive you for any sins you have committed in reaction to others.  Release those leaders from any anger or bitterness your heart harbors towards them.  Ask the Lord to give you a sonship spirit.
