FORMULA FOR HUMILITY

 Scripture: Mathew 18: 3

“Except ye be converted, and BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN”

Matthew 18: 3

“ LET HIM BE AS THE YOUNGER…”

Luke 22: 26

…so how can we know when someone is actually humble or proud? Jesus Christ the son of God came to the world to show us the way to humility, the truth about humility, and the life of humility.

 The answer to pride is simple- be a child or be a servant!

 Jesus said, “ …. Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child…” This is important because Jesus is telling us that a child is humble. I would not have thought of a child as being humble or having any virtues. I would have thought a child as being infantile, naïve, basic, or even stupid! But Jesus described the behavior of a child as humility.

“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven “

Matthew 18: 4

 Humility is the most important virtue for Christians because it is what makes you great in the Kingdom. Who doesn’t want to be great in the kingdom of God? ..study all you can about humility and put it into action. With all your might strive to become like a child. The more childlike you are, the more humble you are!

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
