With Good Will Doing Service

A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.wordpress.com/

I was reflecting this morning on these scriptures and the idea of how “service” can be a differentiator in the marketplace.

Not service solely with our words but, as leaders, having service to others being our primary daily intent – our DNA.

Oftentimes the marketplace feels complicated and crowded with more ideas and new products (old or innovative) to meet a need or to solve a problem.

However, all products and services are or should be designed to meet the needs of people who have emotions and feelings that must be met.

To the degree that we demonstrate service excellence and meet these emotional needs and feelings in the delivery of solutions – while building trust – our success can be assured.

Scripture reminds us of just two core principles (commandments) related to service.

“You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. [Lev. 19:18.]“. Matthew 22:39 AMPC

This second commandment is about loving our neighbor as our selves which creates the base line behavior for all successful interactions.

Regardless of the background, gender, race, religion or belief systems, everyone on earth is “our neighbor” whom we are to serve with intentionality.

And by doing the great commandment, we will find grace, favor and success from the Lord In our business, community and family.

OMG

But upon further reflection, unfortunately, many of us do not yet love ourselves and therefore need a biblical solution for that.

The blessing is that this solution is found in the first commandment which is:

“…You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). [Deut. 6:5.] “ Matthew 22:37 AMPC

As we learn to love the lord, we learn how much he loves us, created us and equips us to love ourselves – the core ingredient to be of service to others.

This is the great (most important) principal and first commandment for a reason.

In conclusion, it is my sincere prayer that as we enter the marketplace each day that we will have a mission/intent to strive for “service excellence” to our selves and our neighbors.

And we will By faith!

In Jesus Name.

Be blessed!

Be a Blessing!

”Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.“

Ephesians 6:5-8 KJV

Give as Donations

A Leadership Insight

I was reflecting on these scriptures and the power and purpose of service. Each year, as leaders, we need to spend time in prayer and meditation while walking through our strategic planning process.

This is an exercise where we reflect and assess our accomplishments for this year but most importantly, who have we become! Have we grown in the areas of importance, stagnated or have we lost ground?

Regardless of the “reality”, we have an opportunity to inquire of the Lord concerning what foundational seeds we should sow for growth – our act of service to others.

As we listen with our hearts in faith, we will receive a new model of service. We will also have validation because the solution will bring inner peace – that’s it!

This is a material shift from the world’s approach which focuses on “getting” – the outcomes.

As godly leaders, we focus on how we can “be a blessing” and “sow seeds” of service into the lives of others. In return, we have the priviledge to call them “our customer”.

We see this success model in the bible: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God [all the while] was making it grow and [He] gave the increase.” 1 Corinthians 3:6 AMPC

The greatest skills we can learn are how to attract and serve a customer. That is a special relationship that must be nurtured for mutual benefit. This relationship requires that we give of ourselves to others.

“But [dedicate your inner self and] give as donations to the poor [of solutions] of those things which are within [of inward righteousness] and behold, everything is purified and clean for you.

It is my prayer that we will not become weary in sowing seeds of love (solutions) that emotionally benefits others and glorifies God.

Angels, ministering spirits, go and cause the customers to come in Jesus Name, Amen.

Be Blessed!

Be a Blessing!

“Now while Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to take dinner with him, so He entered and reclined at table.

The Pharisee noticed and was astonished [to see] that Jesus did not first wash before dinner.

But the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are full of greed and robbery and extortion and malice and wickedness.

You senseless (foolish, stupid) ones [acting without reflection or intelligence]! Did not He Who made the outside make the inside also?

But [dedicate your inner self and] give as donations to the poor of those things which are within [of inward righteousness] and behold, everything is purified and clean for you.” Luke 11:37-41 AMPC
