When the Lord told Abraham to get out from his family, he didn`t know what he would face ahead, but he obeyed because he was His servant. “Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.” Genesis 12.1 That`s the profile of a preacher, resign own wish in order to do the work and without knowing about what he will face ahead But Jesus Christ told us how the work would be: “Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Luke 10.2 He told us it wouldn`t be easy because it`s a hard work, “Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.” Luke 10.3 He also explained how the work of Heaven should be done, “Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road.” Luke 10.4. We can`t be tied to assets because at the moment of going to the field we won`t be able to carry them with us.

We know that a servant`s life is not easy, but Jesus Christ warned us; we live a life of resignation, a life of helping others, to promote the Kingdom of Heaven

Be a servant has nothing to do with social condition, but it has to do with your heart. Be aware of that. Apostle Paul said he would be a servant if he had everything or if he had nothing because his heart was in the work This territory belongs to the Lord, and we just work for His work, “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3.9 Be sure in your heart that God has seen your struggles, my dear: “So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.” Mark 10.29-30 When you are a servant, you quit natural lifestyle in order to live a spiritual life, and be sure God is with you. Everything you place your hand on will flourish because you are a blessing!
