"I Want To Be a Somebody!"

A blessed Lord's Day!

 I just got home from church service this morning, and since the pastor's sermon was very inspiring to me, I decided to share some of it in my blog. Though honestly, there were some moments that I did not pay attention, and my mind was drifting off somewhere ( I truly apologize to God for that -__-") still, the message was a good one and worthy to be remembered and applied.

A Step to Significance. 

Each one of us reaches to a point where we want to be recognized in this world, to be a somebody. We want to be noted for our tremendous efforts, and our names engraved in books and in the minds of people forever. We want to be SIGNIFICANT. But, luckily for us, the children of God, we are already destined on this path to GREATNESS. Every child of God is already meant to succeed and to live excellently for the glory and honor of the Lord. It is His will for us to be amazing. We are destined to rise among others, to be LEADERS of our nation, to be the LIGHT of the world. We are more than CONQUERORS. 

Believe it or not, we are already significant in the eyes of God. But, still, there is nothing wrong with leaving a mark in this world of your existence. As a matter of fact, it would be a life worth living if we do absolutely make it into this world. As long as our success is in accordance to His plan in our lives, then we ALL are worthy to be SOMEBODY in this world. Do I make sense?? :)) I sure hope I do. 

Now, to be a somebody comes with two big questions: “WHY” and “HOW”

Why? Simple. Because our God is an awesome God. He is Lord of all. As His children, we should grow in His likeness. If our God is great, then so should His children be. That is what it takes to be Christ-like.

How? There are three simple principles to become significant.

First of all, we need to have an aim or goal. Think of yourself, and what you want to achieve in this world. How can you be significant if you yourself don’t even know what you want? Search yourself. Find a dream and make it a reality.

Second: Have a servant-minded leadership.

To become the greatest, you must first learn how to become the least. In other words, a true leader, acts like a leader, but has the heart of a servant. You must give your life to serve others as much as others follow your steps. Do not be boastful of your highly attained status or position. Let God be your example. Despite being the Son of the Almighty God, still He is willing to step down and become human to live with His people and serve them the best way possible. Humble yourself first, and the Lord will lift you up.

Third: Be faithful

Faithfulness outweighs skills, talents, or even virtues. People may acknowledge your knowledge, or abilities, but they will respect and value those who remain true to their words and are loyal to his subjects.

Having the mindset of a leader, I was truly blessed from what I heard this morning. Indeed, God’s Word is meant for all of us to read and learn from it. And I surely gained a lot from this wonderful church service this morning.  J
