TOPIC : THE POWER OF HUMILITY
TEXT 1 SAMUEL 3:10-14
[10]And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
[11]And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
[12]In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
[13]For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
[14]And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
Dearly beloved, Samuel heard from God what would have made most men become not just proud but arrogant.
He knew from God that the man who he was serving was finished and that the mantle had fallen on him yet he kept serving.
I have had a personal assistant who in his attempt to become more important told church members that he was the one who wrote my sermons.
Imagine if God had anointed such a fellow?
He would have destroyed both himself and others.
God is very wise.
Humility exalts.
It's your time to be lifted by the power of humility in Jesus mighty name.
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
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
