Weekly DevotionalGod Is Your Master
God has called you to be a servant. No matter how great or how famous, how rich, or what you’re doing in your life, you can never forget that your Master is God. And because God is your Master, you become the servant of all. I believe that if God has made you a leader, or God has made you a maid, a principal or a chief of a fire department, or a captain of a sheriff’s department, or a pastor of a church, you still are under that One. No man has authority unless he is under the authority of God. And maybe God hasn’t done that in your life. But God is going to do something. He is going to give you people underneath of you to be able to rule and to be able to minister. And it takes a man and a woman under the control of the Holy Spirit to be able to understand that the freedom that God has given to you, to be on top, is not that you would take advantage of those underneath of you. And so the first lesson is never abuse the freedom that God has given to you.
