SERVICE TO MANKIND LEADS TO GREATNESS!
Our heavenly Father is always happy to see His children help each other on this earth. Interestingly, the service(s) we offer to our fellow men is the source of greatness or wealth! Stated in another way, the secret behind the attainment of greatness or wealth generation is providing service(s) to our fellow men.
Matthew 25: 35, 40 states that “For I was hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:…. then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?…… and the King shall answer and say unto them, verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”. The direct service(s) we offer to our fellow men are the service(s) we offer to God indirectly. We may or may not charge some fees for offering those service(s) depending on several factors, however, whichever among the two definitely comes with reward from our heavenly Father.
The Bible also says in Acts 20: 35 that “….it is more blessed to give than to receive”. This statement is a profound truth. Can you imagine how the world would be like if everybody tries to provide service(s) to each other? Several benefits would have resulted. For instance, competition would have increased in all the service and manufacturing sectors resulting in premium quality provision. Secondly, unemployment would have been almost zero if not zero because most people in the world would have been gainfully employed. Thirdly, all of us would have been making some good income.
The quality of service(s) you provide to fellow men is a function of the wealth that you can generate. Mention can be made of Bill Gate’s invention of softwares which have solved several problems of mankind and in effect transformed the lives of people including the manufacturer. Nelson Mandela became famous because of the service he provided to the people of South Africa. Being a waiter in a coffee shop is equally great service to mankind. The service(s) we provide irrespective of the ‘magnitude’ as perceived by men must emanate from our hearts because that is what makes the difference in generating wealth. I have come across many people providing service(s) perceived by some others as irrelevant but have generated enormous wealth.
I conclude with Mark 10; 43-44 “But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all”. To be great and generate wealth, one has to become the chief servant; in other words, provide quality service(s) based on the area or sector of your conviction. Demand for your service(s) will grow after you have delivered quality service(s).
