Humility in leadership and the danger of self-promotion…
“Now we have that wealth within clay vessels, that the excellency of that miraculous power may be from God then not from us.”
— 2 Corinthians 4:7 (2020 New Testament)
The Spirit-led Church exalts Jesus the Messiah—not personalities.
In an age of platforms, followers, and fame, it’s easy to blur the line between shepherd and celebrity. But the true vessel of God carries glory without absorbing it.
We are clay jars—fragile, plain, dependent.
The power is not in the jar. The power is in the treasure inside.
When leaders become famous and Jesus becomes a footnote, we’ve missed the mark.
The Sacred Spirit will not share His spotlight with pride.
Let our pulpits be altars, not stages.
Let our bios boast in weakness, not accolades.
Let our hearts cry, “He must increase, I must decrease.”
