In the minstring of the gospel, if it is not Him that is being seen, it is 
us.  May we decrease, and He increase.  Unfortunately to say that in some 
circles, is the same as to incite the death of self-esteem/"self".  However if we 
are to follow what the Bible states in following after Jesus, we must remember 
that He stated sever steps in following Him.  If we follow Him, we must deny 
ourselves.  He didn't state that if we are to follow Him, we must embrace 
ourselves.  The next step is stated when He says that we must take up our cross.  He 
didn't state that the next step what take living like the world, rather some 
teachers would state that it means a "dying" to the lusts of the fleash, the 
lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life.  The third step is following 
Him,(Jesus Christ).  He was and is a servant to the whole church.  His food/meat was 
the Will of the Heavely Father.  He was led the Holy Spirit into the 
wilderness.  Just a few things that He has done.  We, with His help and the leading of 
the promise that was given by the Heavenly Father,(the Holy Spirit), must be 
servants to the whole church.  Our food/meat must be the Will of the Heavenly 
Father.  We must be led by the Holy Spirit in all matters of life.  And finally, 
may He increase, and we decrease.  For we cannot save, however as we allow 
Him to, He can save through us.  And we must remember to give Jesus Christ the 
glory, for He alone is worthy.

Sincerely,
A Humble Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Persecuted Church,
Adam Waggoner.

If they persecuted the Lord Jesus Christ, they will also persecute us who 
follow Him.
