"I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building." 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 (NIV)
The Apostle Paul told the Christians at Corinth that leaders like he and Apollos were not important, they were both just servants of God. And just like all Christians, they had a job to do, working for The Lord, and they would be rewarded by Him according to how well they did their job.
Today we should understand that our positions and what we do here on earth is not about us. All that matters and what is important is what we do for Christ. Our individual efforts are just a very small part of His overall plan for things. We each have a job to do as part of His kingdom building plan. We each need to make sure that we are doing what He has called us to do, because in the end, only what we do for Christ will count when we have to give an account on judgement day.
