MESSAGE:
An understanding of your spiritual poverty is the only gateway into entering into the provision and abundance of the Almighty God. It is acknowledging that you can’t achieve the ultimate goal that God has lined up for you without divine help that will make you succeed. The moment God is removed from your life, you have nothing more to give to life. This is why you have to be humble before God.
It is important to know that all things will always work together for good in the lives of those who allow Jesus to be their personal Lord and Saviour. As long as you remain in the perfect will of God, you can be sure that you will get to your destination.
Dare to trust God and stop struggling to fight your battles yourself. With God on your side, you will reach your goal.
Key Point: The plan and purpose of God for a man is the best that can ever happen to him.
