BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 5, 38, 41, 42
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Colossians 3:12-13, 1 Peter 5:5-7
Colossians 3:12-13:
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
1 Peter 5:5-7:
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
MEMORY VERSE: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” – 2 Chronicles 7:14
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Humility is the ladder to divine greatness.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
GOD, WHO GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE, SHALL VISIT YOU TODAY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
Humility is total and complete dependence on God. Pride or loss of humility is the root of all sins, evil and vices that we see today as believers. We must run away from pride. We should grow in humility so that Christ can increase in our lives. The more of Him we have in us, the less of self-greed and all other evil will manifest in our lives.

The human nature is that of pride at every little breakthrough, but to be great indeed, humility is the bedrock of divine greatness. The way to the top is down.
All that you have: your gifts, talents, abilities are all given to you by God through His grace. Can you speak like an orator? Can you counsel like Ahitophel? Can you fight like David and always be in the right place at the right time? All these are from God. Therefore, you have nothing to be puffed up about! They are all from God to be used for His eternal purpose.
When you are humble, God’s face will shine upon you. Your humility makes you to be at the receiving end of all good things that will make your life fulfilled, as a Christian leader or follower. Are you serving the purpose of God or your own purpose? Can people around you truly agree that your humility is second to none? Think about it. You can only be useful to God in humility.
