AUGUST. 15TH.
TEXT: Matthew 13:54-58King James Version (KJV)
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
In life too many of us allow the spirit of envy and jealousy
to cut off our opportunity to encounter a greater glory. Sometimes our ambition
to be in a place of prominence has become our undoing. If you are too full of
yourself you will begin to have problem accepting and celebrating the grace
upon others. Some of us have looked down on certain persons who have the grace
that will release us to our destinies, because we have become too familiar with
them. Most of the time because you grew up together or attended the same
school, some persons cannot stomach the fact that you have been favoured ahead
of them. If they are working with you they are the ones who tend to rebel
against your leadership. Those who do so even in church fail to realise that
they were rebelling against the leading of God.
As long as you refuse to submit to a God ordained
leadership, you will remain in that state and level of life; you may have great
potentials but you are not going anywhere.
Don’t let your stupid pride destroy your chances of rising
in life. Humble yourself and watch God position you for glory.
