“A PERSON’S GREATNESS”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“When they had come, he looked at Eli’av and said, ‘This has to be Adonai’s anointed one, here before him.’ But Adonai said to Sh’mu’el, ‘Don’t pay attention to how he looks or how tall he is, because ……’” (1 Samuel 16:6-7).
When they had come, he looked on Eliab, the eldest son and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him. But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
A PERSON’S GREATNESS
You do not need to be big or popular to be great. A person who is truly great is one who will take more than his share of the blame and less than his share of the credit.
Nothing can be truly greater than people talking less of their greatness in follies.
Remember our God is great and greater than our problems and difficulties, therefore praise Him!
The greatness of a person is not found in his or her position but in the “Person”.
Many people want to be great, but not realizing what makes one great. The truth is that your person is much more than your leadership.
It is better to seek to be a good and great person than to be a great leader. Your person is made of your character and value while your leadership may be evil and valueless.
Your person is who you are (Genesis 4:3-7 / Matthew 25:21, 26-27). Your make up, constitution, values, inner being, what you are capable of doing, what you pursue and what you flee from.
Your person can be good or bad. You can be mean, evil, wicked, ungodly or you can be kind, loving, merciful, just and godly.
It is all in you. It is the person of Cain that God Almighty rejected but accepted the person of Abel before their sacrifices.
The Person In You
Your person is much more important to God than what you do for Him.
Your person will tint, shade or colour whatever you are doing.
Your person determines the kind of people you attract and the environment you create.
Your person determines the kind of leadership you provide.
Your person will determine how you relate and get along with others.
Your person also determines if your sacrifices will be acceptable or not.
Your person will hinder you from greatness in God’s estimate.
You must first be a good person before becoming a great leader.
Remember, God, Adonai ELOHIM measures a person by putting the tape-rule on his or her heart and not just on his head or waistline.
YOU ARE GREAT IN JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME, AMEN!
Somebody shout, “AMEN & AMEN!”
Shalom and good morning.
