We need to be humble or the Lord will not use us in His greater work. God does not use those who are full of themselves but rather who are unqualified and emptied of their desires and opinions.
The greatest brothers God will use in local areas are those who do not feel qualified to lead and are simply servants. Such unqualified ones will be some of the shepherds—God is raising up—that will fully rely on Jesus Christ and not their own abilities. God does not entrust Himself to those who are ambitious for position, power or prominence in the work of the Gospel.
The Apostle Paul was complaining to the Corinthian Church that they had allowed themselves to be taken advantage of by self-centered humanistic leaders. “In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face.”
Such leaders had private agenda’s even in the Name of God and even with very spiritual motives and teachings. God will not share His glory with others especially in the end times work of the body of Christ.
