SCRIPTURE: And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. JOHN 12:23-24
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Selflessness is a major pathway to greatness and selfishness is the pathway to smallness.
Walking in love is a product of mind-set. It is important to realise that a life centred on self is a life settled for small. It is true, both in this world and in the world to come that a life centred on self is a life settled for small.
There are many people who wish to be great, but in reality, they cannot be great because they are not ready to do what great people do. They cannot be great because their lives revolve around themselves. No one is great by thinking about himself alone. Selflessness is a major pathway to greatness and selfishness is the pathway to smallness.
You don’t make any meaningful impact in this life if your life is centred only on yourself. But when you live beyond yourself, you live beyond your size. When you live beyond yourself, you see great results in life that will make people wonder, “Who is the person associated with these great results?”
Beloved, when you live beyond yourself, you will also live beyond your time. By the time you have come and gone, your impact remains visible on earth.
That was what Jesus meant when he said in John 12:23-24:
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
Jesus seemed to have said, “If I face myself, I abide alone. But if I die to self, I bring forth much fruit.” So, a life lived for self or centred on self is a life settled for small.
Beloved, be determined never to live a self-centered life if you ever aspire for greatness in life.
Remember this: Selflessness is a major pathway to greatness and selfishness is the pathway to smallness.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Refuse to centre your life only on yourself; focus on others also.
2. Ask God to deliver you from any spell of self-centeredness.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from any form of self-centeredness. Help me to be mindful of, and attend to the interests and welfare of others Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
