Topic: 3 "C" ENEMIES OF JOY & GREATNESS – Part 1

COMPARING

MEMORIZE: "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Psalm 17:15).

SCRIPTURE READING: Proverbs 18:20-21.

“A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth, From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

EXPOSITION:

When we talk of enemies of joy and greatness, there are some components that can be considered. But here, we want to look into three words with letter Cs.

Comparing:  This is act of not being satisfied with who you are and what you have, thereby comparing yourself with others. Each time you see people doing better than you, you will surely earn yourself sorrow, bitterness and anger. Whenever you compare yourself with someone else, you may not see good in yourself, because what become your best can never stand before another person’s worse. We have our satisfaction and sufficiency in/through Christ Jesus – “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” 2 Cor. 3:5.

According to our memory scripture, we should be satisfied in beholding the face of God as we long to be awaken in the last day in His likeness. "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Psalm 17:15). Therefore, we should be pronouncing good things about ourselves. Seeing good in your making, irrespective of your current level of living. Don’t forget, “A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth, From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

PRAYER POINT:

i. Lord, I receive grace to be satisfied in purpose for my life. I trust that you have created me to be the best you have for me in your eternal purpose in Jesus name. 

ii. I shall make you happy in my living and be happy in my self too in Jesus name.

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Psalms 125-127.
