THE GREATEST SERMON ON HUMILITY BY JOHN THE BAPTIST

The greatest statement of Humility from John the Baptist;  “*He must increase, but I must decrease.”* ‭‭John‬ ‭3:30‬ ‭ At a point where people begun to leave him to follow Jesus and his disciples sought to incite him against the messiah . After All, they saw him baptizing Jesus and so they thought he should be bigger than Him. But John rather gave the greatest and shortest sermon on Humanity; “He must increase and I must decrease “ Would you exalt Jesus beyond yourself and personal desires today ? Would you walk the way of Christ ? Would you be like Jesus submit to the divine will of God even to the point of dying on the cross? (Philip 2:5-11) God resist the proud but give grace to the humble James 4:6.  God’s grace is supplied in abundance to those who follow his will in obedience and humility.  “And no one could deny the fact that the one who has the power to impart a blessing is superior to the one who receives it. –” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭7:7‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Therefore it is imperative that we walk t

THE WAY TO THE TOP IS DOWN

  In the kingdom of God, the way to the top is down. Selah Anyone who cannot humble himself or herself before the Lord and people cannot rise in this kingdom. No, then not with God. For God himself will resist such a person.  The Bible says, God resist the proud but give grace to the humble (James 4:6). Remember it was pride that made God cast down Lucifer to hell (Isa 14:12–15).  One of the hallmarks of people who are genuinely being used by God is humility.  Therefore one of the ways to identify whether God is at work in a place or not, is humility. The opposite of humility is pride, self boasting and self exaltation. It is glorifying one’s self above and beyond God! It is acting as though one does not depend on God’s grace and mercy but is self sufficient in themselves.  When Jesus’s disciples wanted to know which amongst them is the greatest, Jesus replied that it is the one who humbled himself to serve them most.  “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” (Matthew

Humility

 HUMILITY; One of Life's Greatest lessons that God is still teaching us all here on earth. As we go through life, one of the things that God will be teaching us is HUMILITY.  Yes, we will learn humility till we depart from this earth, because that is one of the greatest lessons we all need to learn in our walk with God.  You see, the opposite of humility is Pride or boasting, and this is one thing that is an abomination to God(Prov 6:17a; 16:5).  God from day one of our salvation, sought to deliver us all from this sickness called pride or boasting. This is the more reason why salvation is the Free gift of God. Read Eph 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.(so we can say that, the main reason why God wants salvation to be a free gift is so that, no man can boast about it). Have you not noticed, that many a times, God causes miracles, breakthroughs and amazing things to happen to us

YOU CANNOT BE MARRIED TO CHRIST(GRACE) AND STILL BE FLIRTING WITH MOSES(THE LAW)

  *YOU CANNOT BE MARRIED TO CHRIST(GRACE) AND STILL BE FLIRTING WITH MOSES(THE LAW). * “Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the grace of God.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:14‬ ‭TPT‬‬ “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬ From the above scriptures we get to see that, the law was ministered through Moses. Hence Moses was the minister of the law ( The law stands for a system of covenant on which God dealt with mankind on earth) This was originally given to the people of Israel who were chosen as God’s own people, in their walk with God through Moses their prophet. It was a written code of do’s and don’t and it was from this that man was relating to God.  Hence during the Old Testament period prior to the death burial and resurrection of Christ, man li

A real life story. Lessons I learnt earlier in Life that helped me

  Growing up in the Lord one thing I always had at heart was to never be disobedient to the heavenly vision and the call of God on my life(Acts 26:19). I got this understanding engrained in my heart earlier because I knew that my life was no longer my own but unto Him(Jesus) I belong.  This Jesus had become my Lord and Savior and He owns my whole life. And that He alone has the best plan for me and He is the author and finisher of my faith, period. This understanding guided my life and actions so much that I was careful to let anyone around me know that I’m sold out for the Lord hence there are no guarantees like normal people have, I simply live by faith in the Lord and I’m always at the beck and call of my master. If He says go I’ll go, if he says come I’ll come . That’s how simple, yet profound it is for me.  I remember telling my wife-to-be back then that, I know God will glorify himself in us but if God sent us to some remote village or some far distant country where no one will g

Tithe and Giving as a believer

  A little thought on Tithe and Giving to the new creation man. 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏 The author of the book of Acts quoted the exact words of Jesus concerning giving that says “ giving brings far greater blessing than receiving “ Acts 20:35b TPT Act 20:35 I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Giving is a principle in the kingdom of God. Giving as it relates to all things including money.  Now, the fact is that, you do not give to be blessed under the new covenant, because in Christ you are already blessed. However, anyone who gives actually testifies about the reality of this truth in his or her life , that he or she is truly be blessed of the Lord!  Your giving is a sure sign that you are indeed blessed by God. So out of your acknowledgement that you are blessed ,you give!  Hence, failure to give is to say, God hasn't blessed you with anythi

THE PROOF OF MINISTRY IS NOT IN NUMBERS BUT IN FAITHFULNESS

THE PROOF OF MINISTRY IS NOT IN NUMBERS BUT IN FAITHFULNESS*  As I carefully take a look the current trend of ministry all over, I see one common thing among many Churches, denominations, ministries and ministers which is very deceptive and misleading, and this has to do with the insatiable and unquenchable lust for huge numbers or bigger congregation members as a proof of ministry. Many have wrongly been taught that success in ministry is equal to the multitude of people who attend a church or follow the man of God. This error has gotten into the head of so many people to the point that, it almost looks like population or “huge numbers” is the yardstick for validity in ministry and the authenticity of the call of God on a person’s life. Hence many men/women of God feel so insecure about themselves and the ministry God has called them into. But I dare say that, *if large numbers was the proof of ministry, then I guess Jesus was a failure because He had only 12 disciples who followed Hi
