Superlatives! Actors, Models & Talent For Christ
If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, Who, being in the Form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a Man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him.
Philippians 2:3-9 (NKJV)
Actors, models, and talent for Christ: Embrace this superlative conclusion!
God says:
'He who humbles himself will be exalted' (Matthew 23:12).
'He who humbles himself will be exalted' (Luke 14:11).
'He who humbles himself will be exalted' (Luke 18:14).
God shares lots of Good News and here’s one piece:
Every promise of God WILL BE FULFILLED. Humility is your ticket to success.
God says it in the Old, and in the New. He said it through Christ, humility’s King, and He says it through you, His performers!
If you’re SUPERLATIVELY humble, entertainment kings will exalt you, too… since you’re the “highest possible order” of humility.* You act like Jesus!
Off stage, you reflect your Director’s Heart: a Servant's Heart, a kind and loving heart. Your exemplary character dazzles.
On stage, you’re “superior to others,” because you work to be 'Ten times better' (Daniel 1:20) than the world–to win excellent bookings.
Can you be humble and superlative at the same time? Jesus was. Jesus IS! Simply follow Him!

NOTE: This is a 2023 update of a 2013 Carey Lewis Devotion. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players. Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
