    About this ebook

    Behind every great victory or major achievement, someone has paid a price. Greatness has many admirers and fans, but few ever produce physical, emotional and spiritual currency to obtain their own personal greatness. Archbishop Duncan-Williams challenges everyone to get off sidelines of mediocrity and failure and enter the arena of greatness in their fields of influence. He defines greatness and the process of training, studying, praying and persevering to reach it.

    Introduction

    TRUE GREATNESS

    The lust for power, money and sex has dominated our world since time immemorial. This lust has often generated unhealthy competition amongst friends, families and co-laborers of Christ. People sacrifice one another in any form in order to attain what they desire.

    It is commonly believed that anyone who possesses more power and money is great. Jesus, however, said that a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of things he possesses (Luke 12: 15). John the Baptist possessed no earthly goods and yet Jesus described him as the greatest man of his day (Matt. 11:11).

    Our value as Christians have changed so much that sometimes we get confused about how we set our priorities right. When I received the call into ministry decades ago, greatness was not the issue at stake. Obedience and faithfulness to one’s call was what mattered most. Fame, financial prosperity and influence come with greatness, but we must realize that handling these successfully is more difficult than obtaining them.

    Greatness comes from God. He told Abraham that He would make his name great. God confers greatness on people through His own sovereign act. Two people may possess the same wealth and exert the same authority and yet one would be greater than the other.

    The disciples of Jesus once asked Him of the greatest person in the Kingdom of God. Jesus answered the question in a most fascinating manner. He called a little child unto Him and set him in the midst of them. He then stated that unless one is converted and becomes a little child, one cannot enter the Kingdom of God (Matt. 18: 1). Jesus, in other words, was describing greatness as follows:

    1.God must establish the great man. Jesus set the child in the midst of the people. Don’t seek to establish yourself in your own strength and wisdom.

    2.Jesus associated greatness with conversion. A change of heart, change of life, change of motives and a change of attitude is
