The Bossy Mentality
charged Joseph with them, and he served them:
and they continued a season in ward" – Genesis
40:4 (KJV)
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Do not struggle for
titles; struggle for the task. There is no entitlement
in titles.
The bossy mentality in this context is the
mentality given to pomposity and braggadocios
existence; it is the mentality that makes a person
feels too big to serve.
From our anchor scripture, we see Joseph had the
right to 'boss over' the other prisoners including
the butler and the baker (whose dreams he later
interpreted), rather he served them.
Beloved, you must refuse the bossy mentality to
avoid a crash of destiny. It was Bishop Abioye
who said "To act like a boss is to end in the box".
The struggle for status many times is the reason
for a bossy lifestyle. To have an impactful destiny,
never struggle for status, struggle to serve. Do not
struggle for titles; struggle for the task. There is
no entitlement in titles.
Now, here is an analogy: if a wheelbarrow pusher
enters a theatre wearing a laboratory coat with a
stethoscope intending to perform a surgery,
would he be able to perform the task
successfully? No! That is murder waiting to
happen!
The truth is: any title that is bankrupt of function
has no future. When you go after function,
position will come after you.
Thus, the 'boss mentality' is a limiting mentality. It
is a mentality that seeks to use, mis-value and
undervalue people. Such mentality has no future
either with God or with people.
Remember this: Do not struggle for titles; struggle
for the task. There is no entitlement in titles.
