Topic: WHEN TO BE LIKE A CHILD
Biblical Text: “ And said, verily I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven’. [Matthew 18:3]
Once upon a time, a rider came across a few soldiers who were trying to move a heavy log of wood without success. The corporal was standing by, just watching as the men struggled. The rider could not believe it. He finally asked the corporal why he was not helping. The corporal replied, I am the corporal, I give orders. The rider said nothing in response; instead he dismounted from the horse and assisted the soldiers lift the heavy log. He quietly mounted on his horse and went to the corporal and said, the next time your men need help, send for the commander-in-chief! A child from a rich background if given the chance will play with all classes of children whether from rich or poor background. They will not discriminate whether they are white or black; dirty or clean. They do not have a high opinion about themselves. That is humility! A child has low opinion about themselves and that is why God used them to cite an example concerning humility. God warned Nebuchadnezzar to be humble rather he chose to assume the role of a god; thinking it was his power that made him achieve all for Babylon. Immediately, God drove him from men, and he ate grass for seven years. Humility is a character trait exhibited by Jesus. To be like God, you need to be humble. It takes humility to enter the kingdom of heaven. Be humble like a child. Heaven is for humble people.
KNOW IT ∞ Be humble to everyone. It is a character trait of children of God.
READ IT ∞ Deuteronomy 4:30-34, Matthew 3:4, Luke 14:11
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the grace to remain ever humble.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ 1 Kings 13-15
