Title: SERVANTHOOD


1
KINGDOM PRINCIPLES
  • SERVANTHOOD

2
KINGDOM PRICIPLES
  • We have been created by God in His image.
  • We are His representatives in the physical realm.
  • We have been created with a clear purpose.
  • We have a specific place in the hierarchy of the
    household of God.
  • Our interaction with God is based on relationship
    not religion.
  • Jesus did not come to rise up a company of people
    that would just follow Him and His teachings(that
    is religion).

3
KINGDOM PRICIPLES
  • Church is a place of inhabitation.
  • The church is not an institution of religion but
    a household of faith a family.
  • The message of the last day church will be a
    message of the kingdom of God.
  • We have a mandate to take this message, The
    message of the Kingdom of God, to the nations.
  • Only after the nations has heard the message of
    the kingdom of God, will the end come.

4
SERVANT HOOD
  • God chose us to rule!
  • We rule by serving.
  • We need to understand that dominion is not equal
    to ownership.

5
SERVANT HOOD
  • The Greek word Doulos (Not mean slavery)
  • - Someone who is permanently subjected to
    another.
  • - consumed by the will of another
  • - Totally dependent on their master
  • - work without expectations of pay
  • - chose not to freely possess but to merely
    steward on behalf of the one who owns them.

6
SERVANT HOOD
  • Phil 25-11
  • Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ
    Jesus, Who being in the FORM Of God, did not
    consider it robbery to be equal with God, but
    made Himself of no reputation , taking the FORM
    of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of
    men. And being found in appearance as a man, He
    humbled Himself and became obedient to the point
    of death, even the death of the cross.

7
SERVANT HOOD
  • Phil 25-11
  • Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and
    given Him a name which is above every name, that
    at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
    those in heaven and of those on earth and those
    under the earth, and that every tongue should
    confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
    of God the Father.

8
SERVANT HOOD
  • I want us to look at the word FORM In verse 6
  • Morfey In Greek Unchangeable form.
  • Morfey is a very interesting word.
  • It speaks of the form that Christ had.
  • Morfey means you are what you are
  • You cannot change the form in which you exist
  • Even if you empty yourself of what you are
  • you cannot change the substance of who you are

9
SERVANT HOOD
  • And what is in the Godhead
  • Servant hood!
  • When Christ emptied Himself of his divinity, He
    chose to retain one aspect
  • It was in the dna of who and what He is
  • He emptied himself of everything he was
  • But could not empty himself from the dimension of
    servitude.

10
SERVANT HOOD
  • Our desire in this season is to bring Christ from
    the eternal
  • Cause Him to incarnate in you
  • Until there is a formation
  • Which is called Christ in you, the hope of
    glory.
  • When this happens in you corporately it will be
    known as the body of Christ

11
SERVANT HOOD
  • You and I are Representatives
  • Agents of the one who sent us
  • He needs to be seen through us.
  • This means that you will empty yourself of
    everything you are
  • That He can become everything He is, in your
    body.
  • We need to take up His FORM.

12
SERVANT HOOD
  • God chooses a group of people to be His exact
    representative (FORM)
  • He orders them to have dominion over the earth
  • He does not give them the earth
  • The earth belongs to Him
  • To have dominion means to represent Him as if He
    himself is ruling over it.
  • God never wanted us to have our own identity
  • We were to represent Him so that only he would be
    noticed and not us.

13
SERVANT HOOD
  • The only way God wants to be seen is through a
    people who is an exact representation of Him.
  • -This means dying to yourself
  • -To have no desire for self gain
  • -Your ultimate aim is to serve your master
    without expectation of pay
  • -And you surrender yourself completely to Him
    until only He can be seen through you.

14
SERVANT HOOD
  • It is only when we start living this alternative
    lifestyle
  • Then and only then that you will we see that
    every knee shall bow and every tongue confess
    that Jesus Christ is Lord.
