In his teachings on the graduation of boys to authentic manhood, Dondre Whitfield shares that "Males [boys] seek to be served, and Men seek to be of service". This understanding - marked by the literal and figurative transition from adolescence to adulthood - is not only a rite passage for men but all leaders in society. As believers, we lead in the establishment of God's vision on Earth. To lead, we must seek to be of service.
And to serve well, we must have keen insight into why we're here in the first place.
Kings:
- discover their purpose - the point of their rule,
- lead and serve others to build up the whole - not just themselves,
- connect with surrounding leaders and territories - and don't lead in isolation,
- showcase the other members of their royal court,
- apply and teach their life learnings for the further establishment of the kingdom,
- reproduce more Kings.
It's time to mature --- connect with God to learn your purpose and seek to serve.
