THEME: HUMBLE YOURSELF
Matthew 18:1-5 NKJV
”At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.“
INSIGHT
–Children are unique beings who have special characteristics. During infancy, they are submissive and dependent on their parents or guardians. They trust and have faith in them for provision, protection and are unconcern about their social status. They are innocence, pure at heart and humble. Jesus teaches His disciples exhorting them to be humble like little children so as to be great in the kingdom of heaven. This calls for submission to God who is the potter of clay and is able to mould every hardened heart and give men hearts of flesh. In Matthew 23:11-12, Jesus reminds us that he who wants to be greatest must be a servant, for he who humbles himself will be exulted but he who exults himself will be humbled.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus Your grace is sufficient for us for Your strength is made perfect in weakness. We therefore boast in our infirmities, reproach, needs, persecution and distress so that Your power may rest upon us, for when we are weak, then we are strong. We boast in You dear Lord Jesus the hope of our salvation. Thank You for Your strength that You continue to perfect in us that we may humble ourselves like little children willing always to abide in You and Your word as You abide in us. May You mould us and form us in the way that You wish Abba Father. May Your will be done on earth as it in heaven. May You hear our prayers and grant us our hearts desires precious Holy Spirit. May You deliver us from accidents and incidences, poor governance and corruption, colonialism and oppression, and guide us in the path of prosperity and eternal life. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and forever more. Amen
