SEEDS OF DESTINY 27TH NOVEMBER 2019 – SERVICE – THE HIGHWAY TO GREATNESS
Service is superior to status; having a status without service makes men end as statues. It is the lack of movement that turns people into monuments.

The word, Service, implies the act of going out of one’s way to be useful to somebody or an organization in achieving or satisfying the desired needs of the person or the organization.
Service is a critical condition for greatness in life. Leaders are processed in the school of service. That is why until you have served successfully, you cannot lead effectively.
Get this: Service is superior to status; having a status without service makes men end as statues. It is the lack of movement that turns people into monuments.
The truth is, there can be no wasted service. Your service today is a seed that causes you to reap a harvest tomorrow. How you serve today determines whether you will be served tomorrow (Luke 10:7).
For instance, it was when Joseph interpreted both the Butler and the Baker’s dreams, that he got his dreams interpreted and fulfilled his destiny. (Genesis 40:5-12).
It was Zig Ziglar who said, ‘You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.’
Beloved, there is no substitute to service; the way of service is the highway to greatness.
