“[T]he rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, … but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant … just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” – Jesus (Matthew 20:25b-26, 28 NKJV)
Jesus pulled his disciples aside for a much needed leadership lesson. But he wasn’t telling them how to become leaders, as many interpret this passage, he was telling them what kind of leaders to become.
We who respond to God’s heart pull to follow Christ have already been chosen for leadership,1 the focus now is how to become a good leader.

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands…
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise. – Psalm 100:1,4
Gates are barriers preventing passage.
There are times when prayer is not comforting, worship falls flat, and God seems nowhere to be found – liked a locked gate, even for the believer.
“The key that unlocks the gates of heaven is a thankful heart”1
In those times of little feeling and difficult progress begin with thanking God specifically for the wonderful things he has already done AND for the specific things you expect him to do.
Giving thanks opens the gates and lets God’s graces flow.
