What is the reward of being a servant leader?

It is to empower people to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives

Paul’s Life MissionPaul’s Life MissionBut rise and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you

for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of what you saw, and in what I shall appear to you;

delivering you from the people and the nations, to whom I now send you in order to open their eyes

so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, so that they may

receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

(Act 26:16-18)
