Topic: The Power of Humility (3)
Fire Scripture
Col. 3:12-13; 1 Peter 5 : 5-7
Memory Verse
2 Chronicles 7:14 – “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and heal their land”
Outline
Humility is total and complete dependence on God. Pride or loss of humility is the root of all sins, evil and vices that we see today as believers. We must run away from pride. We should grow in humility so that Christ can increase in our lives. The more of Him we have in us, the less of self-greed and all other evil will manifest in our lives.
The human nature is that of pride at every little breakthrough, but to be great indeed, humility is the bedrock of divine greatness. The way to the top is down. All that you have: your gifts, talents, abilities are all given to you by God through His grace.
Can you speak like an orator? Can you counsel like Ahitophel? Can you fight like David and always be in the right place at the right time? All these are from God. Therefore, you have nothing to be puffed up about! They are all from God to be used for His eternal purpose.
When you are humble, God’s face will shine upon you. Your humility makes you to be at the receiving end of all good things that will make your life fulfilled, as a Christian leader or follower? Are you serving the purpose of God or your own purpose? Can people around you truly agree that your humility is second to none? Think about it.
You can only be useful to God in humility.
Motivational Quote
Humility is the ladder to divine greatness.
Prophetic Word
God, who gives grace to the humble, shall visit you today, in the name of Jesus.
HYMN I’m a Millionarie
I am now a child of God,
I’ve been washed in Jesus’ blood
Making me an heir to wealth beyond compare;
So while here I press along, daily, this shall be my song,
I’m a happy millionaire.
Chorus
I’m a millionaire, I’m a millionaire,
My Father is rich in houses and lands and I’m His heir,
I’m a millionaire I’m a millionaire,
I’m a happy millionaire.
I had rather serve my Lord,
Feast upon His holy word,
Than to own the world with all its jewels rare;
By His Spirit I am led, and on milk and honey fed,
I’m a happy millionaire.
Lord, I’d rather worship Thee
With the people who are free,
Than the pleasures of this world a season share;
For my Father is the King, and His praise I’ll ever sing,
I’m a happy millionaire.
