Some people have the gift of ministry or serving. They are motivated by that service. They are fulfilled when helping. Some people have the gift of administration or leading or what is sometimes called "ruling." Then, in addition to that, people with all kinds of gifts are placed in positions of responsibility.
How can someone with the gift of ruling and also a responsibility of leadership fulfill the "slave" model? The same question could be asked of Jesus. If anyone has the right to rule our lives, it is certainly He. He left Heaven's glory, and came to this Earth. The almighty powerful ruler of the universe was subject unto his parents. The almighty powerful ruler of the universe allowed Himself to be mocked and spit upon. He allowed Himself to be betrayed and crucified at the hands of sinful men.
Jesus is indeed the example of how a ruler can be a servant. If you are struggling in that area, just look to Him.
