Seats in the Kingdom | Restoring Warriors Daily Devotional | Matthew 20:23-24
“You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
When the ten heard this, they were indignant at the two brothers.
— Matthew 20:23–24
James and John made a bold request — seats of honor beside Jesus in His Kingdom. It was ambitious, uncomfortable, and revealed just how little they understood the upside-down nature of God’s Kingdom. Jesus doesn’t shame them for wanting greatness — but He does redefine it.
He tells them they will share in His suffering, but positions of honor aren’t earned, grabbed, or taken. They are assigned by the Father. Even here, Jesus models perfect humility — submitting fully to the Father’s will.
And when the other ten disciples hear about it, they’re furious… not because they’re more righteous, but because they wanted those seats too. Their anger exposes the same ambition, insecurity, and hunger for recognition that lives in all of us.
That’s exactly where Jesus delivers the Kingdom principle:
Greatness isn’t taken. Greatness is given.
And it’s only given to those who choose to serve.
In a world obsessed with platform, credit, hierarchy, and being seen, Jesus flips the entire system upside down. Kingdom greatness belongs to the men and women who lay down ego, ambition, and entitlement — and pick up the towel instead of the throne.
A true Warrior in the Kingdom is dangerous because he doesn’t chase status — he chases servanthood.
And God lifts him in due time.
Reflection Question
Where are you tempted to “grab a seat” — to be noticed, promoted, or elevated — instead of simply serving and trusting God to position you?
Daily Challenge
Serve in one place today where no one sees you and no one will thank you. Do it quietly, joyfully, as an offering to God — not a step toward recognition.
Prayer
Father, humble my heart. Strip away my need for credit or status. Teach me to serve like Jesus — faithfully, quietly, and joyfully. Position me wherever You want me. Make my life a reflection of Your Kingdom. Amen.
