BIBLE READING: PROVERBS 22:29
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
MESSAGE:
While growing up, my goal was to become the youngest Vice Chancellor in Africa. I aspired to be among the greatest in academia and bring prestige to my nation. I wanted to be very great, but I was not selfish about my ambition. I intended to make an impact in the world and on people. This is different from selfish ambition because selfish ambition makes a person try to get ahead of others by using any means at his or her disposal. Such means may be lying, cheating, or any other unholy act. However, aspiring for greatness beyond selfish ambition requires hard work and discipline.
If you want to be greater than others, you cannot do what they are doing; you must do more. One of my children used to say, “If you want to become great, study great people.” I have studied great people by reading their books, attending their conferences, buying and listening to their audio messages, and relating with those who are close to them. My dear child, you should follow the same steps if you want to be great.
KEY POINT
If you truly want to be great, you must work hard and be disciplined.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 43:14-45:10, Ephesians 3:1-21
HYMN 33 – Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah!
1 Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah!
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!
Feed me now and evermore,
Feed me now and evermore.
2 Open Thou the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow:
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar,
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer! Strong deliverer!
Be Thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
3 If I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside:
Bear me through the swelling torrent,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises! Song of praises!
I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee.
4 Saviour, come! we long to see Thee,
Long to dwell with Thee above;
And to know in full communion,
All the sweetness of Thy love,
Come, Lord Jesus! Come Lord Jesus!
Take Thy waiting people home,
Take Thy waiting people home.
