Serving God by serving people

1 Kings 12:1-9
King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. They replied, "If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always e your servant."
Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him.
Solomon is dead. Rehoboam is king. And the people bring their complaints. The northern tribes find a leader and spokesman in Jeroboam. But negotiations break down in face of Rehoboam's strong-arm tactics.
Why?
Rehoboam has growing in rich environment and he does not love his people, he like the power of king and authority as his father. So he rejected the advice the elders gave him.
To be a leader who will success when he love his people. God likes a king love his people.
The Lord loves his followers love others as God loves us.
How?
Serving God by serving people! Love more people as I can!
