BIBLE IN A YEAR: Jere 3-5
DIVINE SHINE
MEMORIZE: "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it." (Psalms 139:6).
READ: Psalms 139:6-8
You are identified by what you wear. How people will relate with you is also dependent on what you wear. Whether good or bad will follow you, is determined by what you are clothed with. What are you wearing - humility or pride? A few years ago, a lady testified of God’s intervention after one of our Conventions. At the end of the Convention, after the Holy Ghost night on Friday, the woman wanted to go to Abeokuta that Saturday morning. She entered one of the “one-chance” buses which unknown to her, was operated by kidnappers and ritualists. On their way, they diverted towards the bush into an unknown distant location. They were about to be sacrificed to an idol. The ritualists were already preparing them for rituals when one of them began to speak in tongues. Then others followed. The chief priest came out and asked where the kidnappers got these strange fellows from. And they told him in front of the Redemption Camp. The man screamed and said they wanted to put him in trouble by bringing the children of Adeboye to their joint. That was how they were freed.
“And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel” (Acts 6:15). If you wear pride, the devil will recognize you as one of his children. Proud people are betrayed by looks, carriage, speech, motive, actions or inaction. They are noted in hell but Heaven sees and relates with them from a distance. God is miles away from the colony of the proud. If you wear humility, the devil will through the glow on your face link you with the One who humbled Himself even to the shameful death on the cross (Phil 2:8). Humility makes the humble to radiate God’s glory. After a carpenter has constructed a piece of furniture, he will spray it with the chosen colour. Usually, the colour remains dull until a particular liquid is applied to make it shine. Without this liquid, the furniture may remain dull, and unattractive. But after the shine, it becomes attractive and radiant. God’s graces and gifts on believers may remain covered, buried or unappealing, until you apply the heavenly shine of humility. Then they will shine like the face of Stephen. The more doses of liquid humility you apply to the anointing, teaching, singing, soul winning abilities, the more appealing, attractive and pronounced they become.
ACTIONPOINT: You are addressed by your dressing. If you are clothed with pride, disgraceful situations will attend to you. If with humility, honorable and uplifting situations will be your guests
