“At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus saying ‘who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. Matthew 18:1
For the disciples to have asked Jesus such a question, it proves to
show that there must have been a silent tussle of authority amongst
them.
One thing heaven doesn’t have but is fully present and experienced
on earth is collision of authority. The response of our Lord Jesus
shows us God’s heart concerning the matter
“and Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of
them, and said, verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and
become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” Matthew 18:2-4.
Every man desires to be great. God begins to show the focus a man should
have in his quest for greatness. First, that man has got to be
born-again.
Our place of greatness is in God.

Secondly, in a man’s quest
for greatness, his attitude will determine his success. God shows us
how; Humility and service. God encourages greatness; otherwise He would
not have shown us the way. Your greatness lies in your place of
humility, for “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the
humble” James 4:5.
In the house of God, Respect is paramount and so is
humility. Respect to the proper offices especially to your man of God
always triggers blessings into your life.
Romans 13:7 says “render
therefore to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to
whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”
DECLARATION
