SERMON
* Speaker: Elder John Ayuba
*Topic: A Humbled Giver
* Theme: Knowing the Will of God
* Sub-Theme: Excelling in the Grace of Giving
* Service Leader: Elder Titus Golar
* Humble means "without pride or arrogance"
* A brief on the "Knight Templers":
- When they were baptized, they were immersed in water but their swords were held above the water,
signifying that they are 'submitted' to the Lord, but not with their sword. This is a classic case of 'partial/conditional submission.'
- Just like the Knight Templars, many people today are baptized as Christians, but they still hold their jobs, wallets,
wives, cars etc. out of the 'water' of total submission to the Lord
* When you want to come to God in humility, do not measure yourself with other men
* When you measure your achievements in the light of God's mercy that had been extended to you, you have no choice but to be humble.
* Pride comes from the spirit of arrogance and self-deception
* Refusal to obey lawfully constituted authority is a sign
of pride, especially when you have more qualifications or achievements
than those occupying positions of authority
* When you measure yourself with God, you will realize that you are nothing
* When you realise that God is your Source, you have no option but to be humble
* Once you hear God's voice, you must be humble
* God's projects supersedes yours
* Psalm 37:4 - "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
* Once you delight yourself in the Lord, and you make your desire His
own desire, He will fulfil that desire - because it is His own desire
* Note: Mary Magdalene gave the Lord her best gift - (precious oil of Nard) and wiped it with her hair which is her glory
* You need to understand God in order to know How to give Him the best glory possible
