PREFERING OTHERS
Philippians 2:1-4
Devotional:- "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself". (V.3)
This is the way of love that we
look at other better ourselves. We live in a world where everyone wants to blow
their own trumpet. Everyone wants to proof that they are someone. Everyone
wants to proof that he is better than others. This way, we become
selfish and competitive.
The character of love is different
from the character of the world. The character of love is the
character of God and not of man. The book of the love of God instructs
us to esteem others, consider others and regard others more
than yourself. This is not just in words but in thinking. In other words,
God want this to be out mindset or our mentality.
This is not in any way reducing
your ability or capacity. But it helps you to become the best. This helps
you to become the best because, when you have not put yourself first
and has first honour others than yourself, you stand the chance of
people thinking less of you. But when you take the stage, you become the
best. This will always qualify you for lifting. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, give me the wisdom
of putting others first.
“Putting yourself first may put
you last when other come up”
