PHANEROO~DEVOTION 8th March 2016 CHRISTIAN DISCIPLINE II Apostle Grace Lubega

[Luke 14:8-9]; When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

The scriptures teach us not to think of ourselves higher than we ought, we should never fight for places in anything. All that matters is that you are doing your best by God's grace and not competing with others. I have been to meetings where the choir is invited to sing and the person with the worst voice gets the microphone because they simply want to lead. Much as in its own it's not wrong, neither is it also mature if you don't understand why you are leading. If you know there is someone better, give honour to whom honour is due.

Excellence does not rob you of a future opportunity simply because you gave another man the present opportunity. It grants you a certain esteem that is so much higher than the thought that if a man took your opportunity, he would rob you of your true blessing and rank.

Be delivered from the thought that because a man has denied you an occasion then God has also denied you that occasion too. Be delivered. Know who you are; who called you. If one door closes, another will open. This God can break through the ground and get you out of anywhere. That is why you should never seek to compete or prove to men that you have or can do something better than another man, that is not how we learned Christ, his love constrains us to give more over than receive...Bless his name forever more!!!

Excerpt from the sermon: OF THE EXCELLENT SPIRIT by Apostle Grace Lubega

Excellence does not rob you of a future opportunity simply because you gave another man the present opportunity. Be delivered from the thought that because a man has denied you an occasion then God has also denied you that occasion too.
