Scripture:- Psalm 138
Topic:- The Scenario That Taught Me Humility
By Pastor E. A. Adeboye
Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God told his members a reason why he humbled himself.
He revealed that something happened after Lekki 98; one of the biggest programs that they ever had.
The whole of Lagos was paralyzed because of the program.
People walked kilometers to the venue and back.
Fortunately, the program was also transmitted by radio, so those who couldn’t get there listened to it on their radio. It was a fantastic program.
After the program, the man of God revealed that he returned to the Redemption Camp and soon proceeded on a prayer walk to thank God.
He then revealed what transpired between him and God. He said:
It was between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. when He spoke. I heard him say clearly, “Son, bend down.”
I did that quickly because, you know, I was in the jungle. You never can tell; a witch could have been flying past.
“And then he said, ‘Draw the figure of a man in the sand.’ I drew the figure of a man: zero for the head, one line for the body and two lines for the leg, and so on.
God said, ‘Stand up.’ I did, but by then I was afraid because I knew something serious was happening.
He said, ‘Wipe out the figure you have drawn with your leg.’ I wiped it out.
And He said, ‘Son, if you ever forget who your boss is, I will wipe you out and nobody will even remember you came to the world.
He revealed that that was what God told him.
“So, I smile when I hear people say, ‘He’s a very humble man.
How can a man be so successful and be so humble?” You think I want to be wiped out?” he said.
In conclusion, he said that when you allow pride to creep into your life, you know what you are asking for? “To be wiped out.’”
Prayer Point:-
Oh Lord God, help me to humble myself always before you henceforth by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Wonderful Saturday!
