It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you spent hours begging God for something you really want? For some reason you believe life cannot continue without this specific thing. You wake up thinking about it. You go to bed thinking about it. You find yourself daydreaming about it throughout the day. Have you become overwhelmed by materialism? Do you feel your success is based upon the car you drive, the house you reside in, or the designer clothes you buy? Do you think people should bow to you because your ego is outrageous? Be careful! Do not allow YOUR ego to make YOU feel like God needs YOU. While God gladly uses us, He can always find someone else to use for His glory.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My brother, my sister, Keep Your Ego In Check! The Bible declares in Proverbs 16:18 – Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Never allow people to place you on a pedestal. The acknowledgment you receive from man comes as a result of God’s favor on your life. You are a vessel being used, you are not the source. Check to make sure you are not floating in the clouds. Be not deceived! Man will applaud and approve you today, and boo and tear you down tomorrow. When the Lord opens doors for you, always remember it was Him who made it possible. When opportunities arise in your life, always remember it was Him who made it possible. No one else can do for you, what the Lord does for you. No one else can provide for you the way God does.
Beloved, always remember the Bible declares in 1 Peter 5:6 – Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time:
