TOPIC : THE POWER OF HUMILITY
TEXT JOHN 13 4-6,12-15
[4]He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
[5]After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
[6]Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
[12]So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
[13]Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
[14]If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
[15]For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
Beloved, Jesus is our perfect example and His is the General overseer of all the churches.
What was it that made Him place a very high premium on humility?
Today many Christians get really confused when they look at Jesus and the church leaders of today.
In my country, many move with tens of fully armed fiercely looking security men.
Many wonder why they need these men.
Many live like Hollywood superstars, rudely flaunting their wealth in social media.
Jesus knelt down and washed the very dirty feet of the disciples.
They had no shoes but sandals with which they worked the dusty roads of Jerusalem.
It was not an easy wash, but the Master of the universe washed them.
God resists the proud and lifts up the humble.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
