WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY by Ptr. Rolly
Custodio
PRACTICE YOURSELF BEING UNSELFISH
(Part-2)
“Let no
one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.” 1Co 10:24 NKJV
Today’s Insight
Great leaders often have great egos, and therein lies great
danger. In The Empowered Communicator,
Calvin Miller uses the form of a letter to describe this problem and the
negative impact it has:
“Dear speaker, your ego has become a wall between yourself and
me. You’re not really concerned about me, are you? You’re mostly concerned
about whether or not this speech is really working…about whether or not you’re
doing a good job. You’re really afraid that I will not applaud, aren’t you?
You’re afraid that I won’t laugh at your jokes or cry over your emotional
anecdotes. You’re so caught up in the issue of how I’m going to receive your
speech, you haven’t thought much about me at all. I might have loved you, but
you’re so caught up in self-love that mine is really unnecessary. If I don’t
give you my attention it’s because I feel so unnecessary here. When I see you
at the microphone, I see Narcissus at his mirror…Is your tie straight? Is your
hair straight? Is your deportment impeccable? Is your phraseology perfect? You
seem in control of everything but your audience.
You see everything so well, but us. But this blindness to us,
I’m afraid, has made us deaf to you. We must go now. Sorry. Call us sometime
later. We’ll come back to you when you’re real enough to see us…after your
dreams have been shattered…after your heart has been broken…after your
arrogance has been reckoned with despair. Then there will be room for all of us
in your world. Then you won’t care if we applaud your brilliance. You’ll be one
of us.”
Application
When you train
yourself unselfishly you don't have to worry when you deliver a message before your audience and whatever their comments will not affect you because your focus
is to encourage them and motivate them by using the powerful Word of God which is the
truth. We believe that being humble or unselfish servant are ready to receive God's Word and believe it. Our success is always
come from God and the audience or people work with you were sent by God as your co-laborers and
it's the Lord Jesus is our role model for being unselfish. When you train and
practice humility and unselfishness the courage explodes and your confident in
God rises up.
Today’s
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for giving me confident
in your Word . As you have said those who humble will be lift up and those who
lift themselves will be humbled. Lord thank you for giving me strength and
wisdom that it is not a shame for us to practice ourselves unselfish character
that we may establish our solid relationship to others. Allow your Holy Spirit to
comfort and encourage me to remain humble while I am serving you for your glory
In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent
of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus
you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God.
