A Servant's Heart

Many of those in the Body of Christ are asking the Lord to use them in the same way that we see the disciples being used in the Book of Acts. Recently, as I was praying that God would choose and send me, I heard Him say,
"I only send those with a servant's heart!"

He then took me to the following scriptures:

Acts 6:1-3 - "Now at this time while the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Hellenistic Jews against the native Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food. And the twelve summoned the congregation of the disciples and said, 'It is not desirable for us to neglect the word of God in order to serve tables. But select from among you, brethren, seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task.'"

Two of the seven chosen to serve included Stephen and Philip, who were both used mightily by the Lord in the working of miracles, signs, and wonders.

Acts 6:8 - "And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people."

Acts 8:6 - "And the multitudes, with one accord, were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing."

Nugget of Gold: Only those with a servant's heart will be used by God for the working of the miracles and signs that He has reserved for this time. His servants will be full of the Holy Spirit, full of grace, wisdom, faith, and power, to perform the tasks that He will assign in the days ahead. Will we be counted in this number?
