What Admiral Barry Black
shared during his message is this: The
BIBLE (Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth)
tells us that it is important to have a relationship with God and the
ways in which to do so.
Yesterday I shared with
you the part about the Canaanite Woman and her passionate prayer that brought
her favor. Passionate prayer consists of
Worship, Humility and Faith.
Passionate Prayer is the
first ingredient towards a ripe relationship with God. Communication with Him is crucial in the
life of a believer.
The ingredient that I’m
looking at today is: HUMILITY. Jesus –
The Master displays the very character
was humility. First of all, He humbled
himself by leaving His heavenly throne, clothing himself in mere human flesh so
that he could redeem us back to our rightful place. Then, in John 13, he humbles himself to his
disciples. The Master becomes the servant
and washes their feet and dries them with his garment. In Jewish culture, this was the ultimate show
of humility. So much so, Peter said ;Lord,
I will never allow you to wash my feet’.
Jesus replied – “If you won’t permit me to wash your feet then we have
nothing in common. – you share no
companionship with me. The Master became
the servant in order to form closer communion with them.
It reminds me of a video
series I used to watch with my children.
Psalty the Singing Songbook. The particular episode I’m
thinking of is the one where Charity Churchmouse makes it to the bigtime with
her singing career. Along her journey to fame and fortune, she learns that “If you wanna be great in
God’s Kingdom, learn to be a servant of all.”
So. HUMILITY is an
essential ingredient in the recipe towards a ripe relationship with GOD.
