Leading With A Servant's Heart: The Helper

By Eric Cooper

As the team debated who was the greatest, the answer was given – whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. The one that serves, he is the greatest. I have been honored and privileged to work alongside and serve with some of the most noted leaders in various industries. What got me there was simply my willingness to help and serve. I soon discovered it was a direct correlation to my personal success and achievement in life. In fact, it has become my epitaph. (The Helper)

In Leading with a Servant's Heart (The Helper), I reveal some of the components that will help lead you to your next level in life, identify your leadership style, and substantiate your role as a leader. Some of the topics shared are The Gift of Helps, Receiving a Double Portion (Operating in the Favor of God), Serving From A Place of Honor and being a Servant Leader. When we Work Unto The Lord in any assignment the ultimate purpose is to hear Him say well done.

DEDICATION and THANK YOU

God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for giving me wisdom and the ability to be a leader, helper and a good steward of this great gift of service.

This book is dedicated to my mother Christine Cooper who instilled in me the principles of a committed and dedicated life. Thank you for the many days you allowed me to assist you around the house and in the kitchen. I know my helping at the age of three and four slowed you down drastically, however you never deterred me but rather helped me launch my mission in life and helped me fulfill the desires of my heart.

In memory of my beloved brother/cousin Roscoe Chubby Phillips – we grew up together, partied together, accepted Christ together, worshiped together, ministered, and served Him well together. Those memories will be cherished forever and one day we will be together again. Peace!

Thank you to Phyllis, my awesome wife, best friend, and editor. You truly are my helper, My Girl, You’re so right for me!

To Eric and Philip, the reasons I serve and work so diligently. I trust that I have been a good example. As I have said time and time again I am so Godly proud of you.

To my sister Denise (Neicy) Jones, brother Alan Cooper, Mom Vilie Brown, Uncle-Cousin Larry Thompkins, Aunt-Cousin Bet, Nicole, Crystal, Dewayne, Sharayah, Tatiana, Xavier Newman, Reginald Blackwell, Nile Scott, Anthony McDaniel, Billy & Denise Russel, and all my family members, church family, and work family. I hope I have served you well. You all mean so very much to me.

To the doctors, nurses, medical personnel, retail/grocery store workers, mail carriers, delivery drivers, first responders, and all the essential employees that helped keep our country moving during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are eternally grateful for your service. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

To Pastors Drs. Michael and DeeDee Freeman. Thank you for the privilege of assisting you in ministry. I am serving from a place of honor.

To Apostle Frederick K.C. Price, Dr. Betty Price and all the leaders extraordinaire! Thank you for your leadership and guidance.

To my past and
