TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE ROMAN OFFICER: Wealthy And Humble (2)
MEMORY VERSE:
Philippians 2:3
3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
BIBLE READING:
Luke 7:3
3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his slave.
Thinking Point:
Position, Title, Mantle, Wealth and Power are all temporary, don’t let them control you, be Humble.
This week, the blessings of the Lord shall be released on us in Jesus name, Amen. As we continue with lessons learnt from the Roman Officer, our focus today is His Humility in approaching Jesus. With the caliber and position he belongs, he would have sent his servants to call Jesus to heal his servant. Wagons would have been arranged or enticed him with wealth so Jesus could come to his house but because of his humility, He went through the Jewish Elders to invite Jesus to heal his valued servant, this is humility displayed with wisdom.
How humble are we to others? Can we contact our men of God for such help and it will be granted without settlement and sentiment? Are we controlled by position, wealth or fame? With humility, he went to the respected Jewish Elders because of his rapport with them. They knew him as a respected Roman Officer, how are you known? What is our relationship with ministers, members and co-workers: arrogance? Humility has a lot to do for us than pride can do to us. Be humble, someone was once in that position before you, build good cordial relationship with your wealth, fame, position and title before you will handover to someone else. Humility pays more than arrogance.
Good Day and God bless you.
