Matthew 20:26-28
26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

If you want to be a good leader, you have to be a better follower. I heard that like a month and a half ago and it just stuck with me. When I first heard it, I didn't like it. But I started thinking about it and it's so true! We have to be a better follower, not of man but of Jesus. Thats's how we become the best leaders we can possibly be. When we become a leader that follows Jesus, serving one another will be second nature. This world is not good at appointing leaders. Yes, we make leaders out of followers, but the so called "leaders" we have put on pedestals are followers of man, of drugs, of money, of lust, and everything else of this world. They're everywhere. Music, government, movies, and tv shows, and sadly even in the churches. The only way we can serve them is to pray for them. The verse says, "whoever whishes to become great among you shall be your servant"  Know this, these people that are appointed as leaders are not great, they are lost. They don't even know where they're going.  Money and fame bring a man to shame, ain't no doubt about it.
