Quiet Time

  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 m...

  In this series of our quiet time, we shall study seven reasons why a believer should humble themselves before the Lord and continually live with a disposition of humility in all that they do. Scripture : Job 41: 1, 34 6. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord because pride is essentially satanic and demonic  Scripture : Job 41: 1, 34 “Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? Or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put an hook into his nose? … He beholdeth all high things: HE IS KING OVER ALL THE CHILDREN OF PRIDE.”   Job 41: 1, 34   All proud people have a king and that is Satan. Satan is the king of all the children of pride. You must decide to humble yourself so that Satan will not be your king and ruler. Once you walk in pride you live and walk under the rulership of Satan himself.   Pride is essentially demonic and satanic. Satan fell out of heaven through presumption, arrogance, and pride. In pride, he lifted himself u...

HUMBLE YOURSELF.  Scripture: James 4:10 Topic: HUMBLE YOURSELF . People define pride in many different ways. People may say you are proud because you are a quiet person. People may say you are proud because you are tall and confident. People may say you are proud because you drive a nice, shiny air-conditioned car. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4:10 So what really is pride? Does it matter whether you are humble or proud? Indeed it does matter! We must humble ourselves before the Lord. We must live in a way that God considers humble. The instruction is clear! Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and not in the sight of man. There is no point in practicing a brand of humility that God does not accept. Humility is a virtue defined and described by God himself. Human beings define humility in many different ways but God's definition of humility is what matters to us. Humility is so important that it is worth searching the length and br...

Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:22-28 Topic: While You Wait, Keep Your Vows Hannah kept her vow. "But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and there abide for ever.  And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the Lord establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him. And WHEN SHE HAD WEANED HIM, SHE TOOK HIM UP WITH HER, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the Lord in Shiloh: and the child was young.  And they slew a bullock, AND BROUGHT THECHILD TO ELI.  And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord.  FOR THIS CHILD I PRAYED; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him:  THEREFORE ALSO I HAVE LENT HIM TOTHE L...
