Life is a precious God given gift to be valued and spent walking with our creator and fellow shipping with Him daily and fulfilling our God given purpose laboring together with the Lord in His will plan and purpose for our lives. we are here living breathing and moving to Glorify God to give Him the praise due unto His Holy Name . sometimes we complicate God's will for our life because we rush we put pressure on ourselves and our flesh wants to be greatest in His Kingdom .
the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

the Greatest in the Kingdom is not the pastor who has a mega church. nor is the greatest in the kingdom the person who has a fancy house nice things and a lot of money. the greatest in the kingdom is not the pastor who can shout the loudest or jump the highest or preach the longest.
concerning the church and callings these are not the greatest either ---> christian's pastor's prophets, watchman , Apostles Evangelists and preachers never forget your God given purpose.
And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. WHY DID HE GIVE THIS ? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?
LETS TAKE A LOOK ---> For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ

Til when ? ----> Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
why ? -----> That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Purpose ----> But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
