That All May Know the Lord Jesus Christ is humble servant king | Olivia Leong

You're listening to a message to go from at church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

Right. So the title of the message that God wants us.

To hear today is that all may know the Lord

Jesus Christ, the humble servant King.

Okay, Christmas is here in the.

Season, right, And I'm also waiting upon the Lord. While

I was waiting upon the Lord, I was also reminded

by doctor Jule's message, by Pastor Cannet's message last few Sundays,

and just continuing on the theme about even Jesus that

all may know, yes, and also about the focus on

the Lord Jesus Christ. Okay, so that we can we

are going to be able to speak forth who the

Lord Jesus Christ is, Okay, all right to This scripture

will be taken from Philippians chapter two.

Philippins Chapter two was one to eleven.

I'm so glad that Paul today our chairpersons shed about

the Philippins when you first chat during preaership service today.

It's very good because I'm gonna speak about this book

as well.

I think the Holy Spirit is speaking to us even

from the beginning.

A man. So a bit of a background on the Book.

Of Philippins, So Philippians is written by Paul the Apostle Paul.

Right.

He Apostle Paul established the Philippin Church in eighty fifty

one in his second missionary journey.

Okay, so you can read about that in the Book

of Acts. Yeah.

So from the start of the Church of the Philippine Church,

the church displayed a strong missionary zeal and was consistent

in its support of Paul's the Apostle Paul's ministry.

Right.

So this church is yeah, very supportive for this missionary

Apostle Paul's missionary. So Paul enjoyed a closer friendship with

the Philippins Church than with any other church. Right, So

Paul most likely wrote his letter to the Philippians during

his first Roman imprisonment. Okay, Paul was in prison, right,

so he most likely wrote this letter about eighty sixty one, Okay,

to thank the church for the contribution he had received

from the Philippin Church.

Okay, so that's why he's writing.

If you read the Book of Philippiins is like a

lot of thank you and you know a lot of love,

yeah and rejoicing, you know.

Yeah.

So Paul also appealed to the church for a spirit

of unity and steadfastness among them. So this is where

we're going to carry on on learning on that, okay.

Okay.

So the title of the message is not as I

was saying, the Lord that all may know, the Lord

Jesus Christ, the humble servant King, focusing on the topic

of humble. If just now you saw the the title right,

humble was in yellow. Okay, purposely or purposely Okay. The

key word today is humble.

Okay.

So we're going to see the example was saying, yes,

last Sunday, right example example. So we're going to see

this example in the Lord Jesus Christ himself.

Okay.

Reading from Philippians Chapter two was one. Therefore, if there

is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love,

if any fellowship of the spirit, if any affection and mercy,

fulfill my joy by being like minded, having the same love,

being of one accord of one mind.

Right.

So this is Paul the Apostle, Paul writing to the

Philippian Church, encouraging them. In everything that you do, always

remember to be like minded, to have unity, having the

same love, being in one accord of one mind.

Okay. Then verse three continues to say.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but

in lowliness of mind, let each esteem each Let each

esteem others better than himself. If you have not highlighted

or underlined it, you can do it right now verse three. Okay,

let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but

in loneliness of mind, let each esteem others better than himself.

Verst for let each of you look out not only

for his own interests but also the interests of others.

Okay.

You can also underline and highlight verse four if you're

not in your bible.

Very important in the three verse threever was for Okay.

So Paul was instructing the Philippian church to do all

things of one mind in unity by humbling, but in

the spirit of humility, right, esteem.

Each other better than himself.

There's in verse three and then verse four, look out

not only for his own interests but also the interests

of others.

Okay. Then verse five we continue to say.

Paul continued to write, let this mind be in you,

which was also in Christ Jesus.

Right, So he's referring to verse three and verse four.

Okay, of that spirit of humility, right of esteeming others

better than himself, and also looking not only for his

own interests, but also the interests of artists. Let this

mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

It's a command, right, It's written like a command, Let

this mind be in you, as it was also in

Christ Jesus. I believe the apostle Paul was encouraging the

church to be Christ like.

Right, this is like Christ.

Okay, This is not following some other gurus, but the

Lord Jesus Christ himself. It's a command as believers to

follow Christ, to be like him.

Okay.

So he continued to write about Christ Jesus. So if

you are new to the Christian faith, this is the

Lord Jesus Christ that we are speaking about.

Okay.

Verse six continues to say, who, being in the firm,

who here refers to Christ Jesus.

Okay. Verse six Jesus.

Christ, being in the form of God, did not consider

it robbery to be equal with God.

Right. So this Jesus Christ, our Lord Jesus Christ. You

know he is God. Right, he is God.

He knows his identity right, he is established in his identity.

He knows who he is, Jesus Christ. He knows that

he is God. It is not shaken. It is not that,

you know how being humbled. Sometimes it's there's a how

do you say? That's a tendency of like thinking that, oh,

if I humble myself, I need to.

Not be myself, you know, right?

Right, right, that's that's that's that tendency. Oh, if I

humble myself, it's not me.

It's not me. I'm me. Right.

For example, I here Jesus Christ. He is written here

in verse six. Right, he knows who he is, right,

his identity is God. At the same time he humbled himself. Right,

there is a greater reason of why he has to

do this. Right, So this is what uh, Jesus who

Jesus Christ is, He has his identity, he is God.

He ah in the amplified version of verse six says

Jesus Christ did not regard equality with God a thing

to be grasped or asserted, as if he did not

already possess it or was afraid of losing it. Right,

the Lord Jesus Christ is united with God the Father

and submissive to the Father's will. So many to say,

you know he he knows who he is no matter

what he do.

You know, whether he has to do a.

Certain thing, that means later we will read he will

lay down his life. But you know, in order to

do something, to be humble, he need not let go

of who he is. So may this be a revelation

for all of us that when when we are called

to be humble, when we are called to humble ourselves,

it doesn't mean that we cannot be ourself. We should

know who we are. We are children of God. We

know who we are. We are saved by grace, we

are chosen. We are called from darkness into light. You know, he,

the Lord Jesus Christ, save us for a greater purpose.

But now God is calling us to humble ourselves. Okay,

it's a it's it's an example where Jesus Christ has

done for us. Okay, So how did Jesus Christ humble himself?

Right?

Verse seven continue to say, but made himself of no reputation,

taking the form of a bond servant and coming in

the likeness of men. Right, so he is God. Verse

six says, being in the form of God, he did

not consider it robbery to be equal with God.

He already knows who he is.

Right, and verse seven says, he may himself of no reputation.

He knows who he is is, he is secure in

his identity.

And yet at the same.

Time he choose, he choose to be of no reputation,

taking the form of a bond servant.

Okay, and coming in the likeness of men. He came

Jesus Christ. He is God.

He came from heaven to earth. Right he is when

he came from heaven to earth. He is fully God,

and he is fully man.

Right.

So in case your friends or anyone says, how do

you know in which verse in the Bible says that

God is fully God, and Jesus Christ came down and

he is fully man at the same time, this is

the verse. Right, he made himself no reputation, taking the

form of a bond servant, coming in the likeness of men.

Right, And Jesus.

Christ, he chose to come down as a man, not

of a.

He didn't come down as a man of a rich person.

He didn't come from heaven to earth as a man

of a great.

Status he could have. I mean, here's God, he can

do all things. Right.

He chose to be a man of a slave. Ah,

just have a moment to think about.

That is again another mind blowing thing. Right he came.

He chose to be a bonder, a slave, right without

renouncing or diminishing his deity, but only temporarily giving up

the outward expression of his divine equality, equality and his

rightful dignity. He laid down his reputation right putting on servanthood.

Bond servant is a bond servant here means a lifetime slave,

and not just serving.

He's a lifetime slave. How would you like that?

I mean, okay, if we are, if we are God right,

become that. You want to choose something nicer, write something

more comfortable. He chose to be a lifetime slave, fully

serving or fully serving men, slive serving.

His own creation. Just brow my my noise. How good

of God is a man? He's so so good?

Right this reflects Sorry, I'm just so in awe of

who Jesus Christ is so amazing. So this reflects on

what Paul is trying to write in Philippines, Chapter two,

verse three. Let each of you look out not only

of his own interests. Jesus Christ has his own interests.

I'm sure he is God. He can he has great

interests of everything, But he did not have his only

interests in mine in mind, but also the interest of others,

and his great interests of others now is men and

saving them from their sin. Right, So, coming in the

form of his own creation, he became completely human, but

was without sin, being fully God and fully men. Not

a rich man, noble status man, royalty man, but a

servn man, a servant man. Jesus Christ came to serve.

He ministered to people as we have sung just now.

Thank you doctor Jil for singing that song. That he

turned water into wine. He freed the sinner, and he

healed the blind. Right, it's amazing he served men. So

just referencing again, referencing to Isaiah chapter fifty three, verse

two to three.

Isaiah fifty, chapter fifty.

Three, verse tu to three, a very famous scripture here

says from verse two, for he shall grow up.

This is talking about Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, for he shall grow up before him as

a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground.

He has no form or comeliness.

And when we see him, there is no beauty that

we should desire him. Here, well, it is a prophecy,

that is writing about Jesus Christ.

Right.

Verse three says, he is despised and rejected by men,

a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, and we hid,

as it were our faces from him. He was despised

and we did not esteem him. Wow, Jesus Christ would choose.

To be in this position.

He has called us to follow him. Brothers and sisters,

think about that. Yeah, amazing is just when I was

like medity think, I'm like God, you really want me

to speak this? Well, this this just blow my mind.

So I just wanted to share with us. Yeah, let's

continue on from set from Philippins chapter two, verse eight. Yeah,

so we're just going to flip a bit right from

Isaiah chapter fifty three. You can just put your finger

there Isiah chapter fifty three, and then we'll go back

to Philippines chapter two. All right, Philippines chapter two, verse

eight will continue from there. Paul continued to write to

the Philbian Church about the Lord Jesus Christ, and verse

eight says from Philippines chapter two and being found in

the appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became

obedient to the point of death. Even the death on

the cross. Of course we know this, but I mean think,

think about it. He is he chose to come now

as a man, as a bond servant, as a full time,

lifetime slave, and at the same time chose to be

obedient to the point of death.

It was a struggle for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Even at that decision, just before he was brought to

by the soldiers.

Right to be judged right by the priest.

Right.

And you know this word humbled in verse it he

humbled himself is an action here taken How do you say,

taken by choice? Right?

It's a command of course from the Lord that he obeyed, right, Okay,

So he humbled himself. The word humbled here, right. You

can see my slide on the slide on the meaning

of humble. Humble means humble means tapinal okay, tapinal if yeah,

it looks like this, okay, but it sounds like tapinal okay.

To make low, to bring.

Low in fact, humble also it feels like or sounds

like human right, humble from the ground, right, So humble,

to make low, bring law to level, to.

Reduce to a plane. Right.

It's a metaphor to bring into a humble condition, reduced

to meaner circumstances. Right to assigned to a lower rank

or place, to abase, to be ranked below others who

are honored or rewarded. To humble or to abase myself

by humble living right. Humble also talks about to lower

or to depress of one's soul, bring down one's pride.

Right to have a modest opinion of oneself, to behave

in an uns assuming manner, and.

To devoid of all haughtiness. Okay, strong words, okay, right.

So in verse eight of Philippines, chapter two, and being

found in the appearance of men, he humbled himself and

became obedient to the point of death, even death on

the cross.

So ultimate humility.

Is obeying the father's will to lay down his life,

no matter how humilating it may be.

This is ultimate humility is.

By obeying God's will for his life. And he would

do this regardless of who he's doing it, you know,

doing it for of course he was.

He was doing it for obeying his father.

Right, but he was laying down in order to reconcile

men to God. This was the only way, and for

Jesus Christ to do that, it's a big ah. It's

it's it's a choice. It's a choice, of course, to

obey at the same time to do it for people

who don't deserve it.

Have you ever been in that situation before? Now you

have to do something.

Your parents tell you, Oh, you need to do something,

and you know it's for a good cause.

But you know your brother sisters don't deserve it, and

you have to do it for them. You know how

it feels, right, like, oh, I still have don't do it?

So it takes humility, like okay, Danny, Mommy, I will

obey even though.

It's difficult, right, it's difficult.

Hey, Jesus Christ was, Oh, Lord Jesus Christ is in

that position. Okay, He the Father willed, He laid down

his life to people who are undert right. God's ultimate

purpose was for the Lord Jesus Christ to die for

our sin in order that the human race will reconcile back.

And this is the only way.

Right. If you have your bibles at Isaiah chapter fifty three,

continue on from verse six there. Later we'll go back

to Philippians chapter two. Sorry are the flipping, but have

your bibles there. That's why it's good to.

Have a physical bible right there. You can have your

finger that otherwise you.

Have dohcross grow backscrosscrow back anyway.

Yeah.

So Isaiah chapter fifty three, verse four to six says,

surely he has borne our griefs.

And carried our sorrows.

Yet we esteem him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

But he was wondered for our transgressions. He was bruised

for our iniquities. The chastisements, chastisement.

For our peace was upon him.

Wow, the chastisement for our peace was upon him. And

by his stripes we are healed a man. Verse six says, all,

we like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned everyone

to his own way, and the Lord has laid on him,

Jesus Christ. The Lord has laid on Jesus Christ the

iniquity of us.

All. Wow, don't we love Jesus today? Just reading this

makes me fall in love.

With the Lord Jesus Christ again and again and again.

Amazing.

Okay, coming back again from the Philippians chapter two, verse nine.

Because of what Jesus Christ had done, what he has chosen,

and what he has done. Verse nine says, therefore God

also has highly exalted him and given him the name

which is above every name.

Verse ten says that at the name of Jesus, every knee.

Should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on

earth and those under the earth. Verse eleven says, and

that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

to the glory of God the Father.

Wow.

What an amazing truth about the kingdom of God in

this that we can learn. James Chapter four, verse ten says,

humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he

will lift you up.

This is God's principle. Right.

Whenever we humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord,

he chooses, he promises. Okay, he promises that he will

lift us up. We can take this verse and memorize

it in times when we have to choose to be

humble and we.

Feel like, what's happening? God, where are you? Claim this verse?

Our God is faithful.

He is a promise keeping God, and he will lift

you up.

He promises that, okay.

James Chapter four, verse ten, First Peter chapter five, verse five. Likewise,

you younger people, hah.

Everyone pay attention.

All of us are young, right, okay, you younger Likewise you,

younger people, submit yourself to your elders. Right, yes, all

of you, including the older ones. Now okay, yes, all

of you, okay, all of you, yes, all of you

this admissive to one another and be clothed with humility.

How to submit ourselves to one another? The only way

is to clothe ourselves in humility. For God resist the proud,

but gives grace to the humble. I know we memorize

the scripture a lot, but when we pause to think

about it and really apply this in times when we

really need.

To, I think it's very powerful. It will.

It will really break through a lot of how they say,

it will break through a lot of conflicts.

It will break through a lot of you know, things

that are you know, causing.

Us to be heavy and you know the instead, it

will cause us to be victorious.

Amen. Right, This is the word of God. Right is powerful.

Right, and when we put it to practice, it's going

to be very We are stand to be blessed.

Okay.

So to be submissive to one another, we need to

be closed in humility to be this. And this is

also in the spirit of moving forward to twenty twenty five.

We are moving on to be discipled. Okay, So in

order to be submissive to one another. Where this is

talking about being discipled by you know, by a leader

in church.

And also we learn to disciple others.

Right, this is in a form of submitting to one another. Okay,

So before we enter twenty twenty five, to continue on

being discipled with one another, remember this verse verse Pitter,

chapter five, verse five. Submissive to one another and be

clothed with humility. Very important, if not very hard, to

submit to one another.

Ah. Yeah, so this is a secret you no, no,

the secret.

Yes, this is the secret to be clothed with humility,

so to be submissed. Yes, okay, Yes, let's go on

to the next verse. Second Corinthians, chapter twelve, verse seven

to ten.

Right.

So yeah, Verse seven says un lest i should be

exalted above measures. So this is Paul writing Paul the apostle.

Paul has gone through many forms of persecution. He is

writing to the Corinthian church here, right, and lest I

should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations.

And okay, so here because before verse.

Seven you can read in context, right, Paul was saying

that he knows of a person that has encountered God.

He has gone into the supernatural, you know. But at

the same time, you know, he's writing here he knows

a lot of things. God has brought him experiences over experiences.

Verse seven continue to say, a torn in the flesh

was given to me a messenger of Satan, to buffet me,

lest I be exalted above measure. While God has given

him a torn in his flesh. Despite he knows like

he has experienced supernatural stuff, but he has this torn

in his flesh.

Verse eight says concerning this thing.

I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might

depart from me. Verse nine says, and he said to me,

my grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is

made perfect in weakness.

Right.

We always claim this verse Amen, Right, this is where

it's coming from. Therefore, most gladly, I will rather both

in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest

upon me.

Verse ten. Therefore I take pleasure in affirmatives. Wow. Therefore

I take pleasures.

In affirmatives, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses

for Christi's sake, For when I am weak, then I

am strong.

This is where we get the verse from sometimes we're unaware.

Were always sing Amen, I am weak, then I am strong.

So yeah, second Corinthe chapter twelve, it's biblical. We're singing

songs from the Bible. Okay, So so really, thank God

that strength and ability are not the criteria by.

Which God chooses to use people.

Wow, thank you Jesus, because I know I don't have

the strength and ability. A lot of times I thank

God he doesn't choose me because of my strength and ability.

Embrace the truth that God's strength is perfected in our weaknesses.

Someone say, amen, the truth will set us free to

be used powerfully by God.

Receive his grace.

It is all we need. A man, a man right

and the tone in the flesh. May I share a

testimony here? Just last Thursday, I tell you this tone

in the fresh as I was also finalizing the message

for today.

You know, God have to just bring me through this experience.

Suddenly I think I have a bit of like a

dry eye situation. A dry eye means usually our eye

is moist, right, So when the eye is not moist

and something is wrong, right, So what I experience.

I never experienced this before.

But the pain, the pain feels like have like a lot,

like like something goes in the eye and it poks it. Yeah,

so it it feels like that, and then if I

go to the doctor, the doctor will say.

Oh, there's nothing in your eye. You must be experiencing

my eyes, like give you a solution.

Okay, But you know, Thursday was very bad in a

point that I feel like, oh, actually, the whole day,

from the starting of the day until the end of

the day, I'm like, God, this thing, this thing is

so painful us. So I was bearing with it because

the week before the doctor already gave me a dry

eye solution. I was thinking, Okay, I'll try to use it.

Actually it's finishing already, but I try to buy something else.

So I was like, God, please remove this thing from me.

I'm like, I didn't know if I prayed three times.

And all, but like Paul, so I'm like, oh, okay.

Then thank God.

That night Thursday night, never I was sleeping right suddenly

it's just on my right eye, that pain, that torn,

that that pain in the eye. Then when I sleep

that time, right, I feel like wh like gushes of

water just rushing down. I feel like God was healing

my eye was like just crushing gosh.

So I was just like half a sleep ready.

You can, I can feel like tears flowing down, but

it's only on one I usually if they flow both eyes, right,

but this time is only one.

I So I don't know medically, but I.

Really felt that God was just healing me. Then that

the next morning, I felt so much better. You know how,

you know, when you have a wound on your your skin, right,

sometimes you feel like still that wound. Yeah, so I

felt a bit of the wound, but I didn't feel

that thing anymore.

So I really praise God for the healing.

I don't know how, but really I really believe that

God healed my eye.

And until today I'm okay, thank you Jesus. Yes.

So that then that Friday morning, when I woke up, right,

I felt so good. This verse came to me, The

thorn in the flesh tell my people this tone, And

so I went, okay, okay, find the verse.

Fine, the worst pund in the flesh. Okay, so this

is the message. Yeah, So the torne in the flesh

right it?

You know, you know, and and you know, God wants

to remind us about this grace, right, this grace his

grace right. I have also prepared the words grace right.

Grace means okay, looks like carriers, but when I hear

the sound is carrist carwitness sound only Yes, yes, Harris, okay,

you have to use that within your harri is okay,

Grace okay, grace, grace that which affords joy, right, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm. Okay,

maybe due to time, I will not go through all

but basically grace in a way, it's like God's blessing.

Okay, it's his reward.

Right, and I have also some Yeah, you can just

go next until the end, until the the verses as well. Okay,

you can just capture these examples. I will not go

to it due to time. Write Second Chronicles. This was

my also quiet time that I've been reading through the

book of Chronicles about the Kings. So today I will

not show any man or anything. But yeah, these are

examples over and over again. Second Chronicles always talk about

this very very repetitive.

Word called humble. Right. So the Kings have been going

through half times, and when they don't humble.

Themselves, when they lift themselves up, things go bad. But

when they humble themselves, right, God intervenes. Right, God, God

protect them from his wrath. Yeah, and God, God, you know,

just protected them and their people. So it's very powerful

examples as well for us to just read about it.

Okay, I mean this is just a few scriptures.

Actually there's so many more, but this is just a handful,

all right, Matthew. Chapter eighteen, Verse one to four. Okay, yes, okay,

so this is very important also talking about the Kingdom

of God. Right at that time, the disciples came to Jesus, saying,

who then is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Verse two says, then Jesus called a little child to him,

set him in the midst of them, and said, assuredly,

I say to you, unless you are converted and become

as little children, you were by no means enter the

Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little

child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Very important.

Verse four.

Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the

greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. It describes of a

person who is devoid of all arrogance and self exaltation,

a person.

Who is willingly submitted to God and his will.

Right, So Jesus challenges our habit of linking authority with domination. Right,

in God's kingdom, authority is men for victorious living and

defeating evil, not for controlling others or serving ourselves. He

calls us to humble. He calls us to be humble

like children and to serve with love. This is the

heart and spirit of how believers should use God's power

a man. This can be seen as well Jesus showing

the examples to his disciples in John chapter thirteen, verse

one to seven.

Right, he didn't just.

Preach, preach, preach, preach, He didn't just say everything, but

he exemplified this with his disciples in John chapter thirteen,

verse one to seventeen. Next light, you see the picture there, right,

Jesus watches his disciples feet.

Right.

Okay, I will skip due to time. I will not

read from verse one all the way to seventeen, but

I was. I will use this verse twelve to seventeen. Okay,

if you have your bibles, John chapter the teen verse one,

Okay to John Chapter the teen, verse twelve.

I'm going to read for that.

So when Jesus had washed their feet taken his garments

and sat down. He said to them, do you know

what I have done for you and done to you?

Do you know what I have done to you? Verse

the teen says you call me teacher and Lord, and

you say, well, for so I am.

Verse fourteen.

If I, then your lord and teacher have washed your feet,

you also ought to wash one another's feet. Oh, such

a good reminder.

All right? Verse fifteen.

For I have given you an example that you should

do as I have done to you Verse sixteen. Most assuredly,

I say to you, a servant is not greater than

his master, nor is he who is sent greater.

Than he who sent him. Verse seventeen.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you

do them?

You get that. Verse seventeen.

I read again, If you know these things, blessed are

you if you do them. Jesus has exemplified the washing

of feed to his disciples. He says that if you

do this to each other being served each other, blessed

are you if you do them?

Amen? Right? Okay, okay, and you know what you know?

Even I really enjoyed our local prayer service.

Last local prayer service for the year that was so awesome, right,

and we will ask everyone to share something about this year.

I share that while this year is a humbling year

for me, the word humble is the entire year for

my this year, right, And you know, I thank God that,

you know, even thrue my relationship with God, my marriage, family,

in my career, in ministry, in my health. I really

thank God that God is humbling me in the process

in this entire year.

It's truly. Yeah, it takes you, Okay, I can't.

I need to admit that I am not perfect still though,

I'm still in the process of humbling.

Yeah, still in the process.

I think until I see Jesus again, until I leave

this I think the process will continue. But this year,

humility has humbling. Humbling, yeah, is really the theme for me,

for me personally, right. So it takes humility to admit

that I really need Him in every area of my life.

And I can't do it with my own strength and wisdom,

but God wants to use me to make his glory

known that all may know.

Amen. Right. In my marriage, it takes humility to be

submissive to my husband.

Okay, honestly, I just say he's not here, Okay, Yeah,

he's there, right, right, I honestly have to say, right,

I'm not perfect. Yes, God commands every wife to be

submissive to the husband.

Yeah, I am still learning. Okay, I'm not perfect in that. Okay.

It takes humility to die to self daily.

I tell you, I tell you, I always look to Jesus,

my eyes on Jesus right at at the same time

not losing my identity and my role as a wife

and support towards my husband. I am still myself even

as I submit myself to my husband, or when I

humble myself, I'm still myself right right, like how Jesus.

Is towards my family.

My mother in law has been tremendous health in our family, right,

but she has gone back to Johor to support my

father in law who is recovering from his food infection.

Right. But in my.

Family, it takes humility to regularly do house chores.

I mean, how many of you are in that place.

I feel like it takes humility to regularly do house chores,

even when I feel that I am the only one.

I feel like I didn't say, the others didn't know,

but I feel my own pov, my pov. I feel

that I am the only one to do most of them,

and remembering not.

To complain or mamo.

I tell you, sometimes I'm like, why is everybody not

doing it?

Like? Okay?

So so it takes humility, okay, Okay. At work, it

takes humility to work together with colleagues from all walks

of life, culture, track record Okay, ask all my dish

our collix here, yeah, so they will agree.

Okay.

So it takes humility to work together with colliques from

all walks of life, culture and track record of never

ending challenges, right, especially when I have to do something, okay,

especially when I have done something wrong right, and to

admit a mistake on behalf of the team, because I

am my role as a project manager in the company

or in my team, right, whatever my team does a mistake,

as a as a leader, I take it as well,

and I'll need to lead, of course the team and

convey to my stakeholders what has happened. That takes a

lot of humility and courage to admit that I'm wrong.

So that even this happened this week, I'll.

Tell you this week, God has been speaking also to

me about this message. So on Thursday that that day.

I mean, I remember something went wrong, I have to

admit it to of course, my boss, and then eventually

have to clean up some stuff. Right, And that day,

when I was traveling back, I was standing on the

radio BFM eighty nine point nine. Okay, I was listening

to evening Edition talk back show.

The question was, is it hard to admit when you're wrong?

I'm like, God, what are you saying? The title was

that is it hard to admit when you're wrong? God?

God is really speaking and you know.

Okay, So if you want to listen to that, you

download the app and listen to it.

Okay, it's a really good conversation. Okay. Is it hard

to admit when you're wrong?

It takes a lot of humility, right to admit that

I'm wrong?

Okay.

In ministry, it takes humility to say yes to serving

in any dream team and area.

Diligiently and faithfully.

I tell you we can serve everything, but being diligent

and faithful. It takes a lot of humility. When the

music faiths, when the feelings, faith and all is stripped away, well,

I still carry on discipling, leading and encouraging. I mean

it takes a lot of for meh, it takes a

lot of humility to be in this ministry, okay. And

also it takes humility to share about my health challenges

with others as well. And for me, it takes a

lot of humility to go to the doctors. You can

ask my husband, I'm a very stubborn person to go

to the doctors.

Okay. It takes a lot of humility and.

Come to the doctor doctor like that, okay for me,

for me, okay, this is for my health. Right, So really,

you know, yeah, humility, that's throughout my whole whole year,

this year twenty twenty four. As we are twenty twenty four,

right in Luke, chapter three, verse four to six.

Right here, we're talking.

About John the Baptist, right as it is written in

the Book of the Words of Isaiah, the prophet saying,

the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the

way of the Lord, make his path straight. Every valley

shall be filled, and every mountain and hill brought low.

That's what is yellow in color.

The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough

ways smooth verse six. And all flesh shall see the

salvation of God.

The result is verse six. Right. The result is verse six,

and all fash shall see the salvation of God.

That is the objective, right that we want to achieve,

that all fast shall see the salvation of God, that

all may know, right verse six Right. So in order

to reach to that objective, prepare the way of the Lord.

You know, those those those things that we need to

prepare the way of the Lord. Make sure his power,

and one of it is there verse five, And every

mountain and hell brought law. This became a revelation to

me that in order that all may know, we need

to clothe ourselves in humility to be submissive to one another.

How can we that all may know while we are

not submitting to one another? Not clothing humility?

Right?

Church? Yes? Okay, very good? In summary, thank you Jesus.

In summary, just the ABC to humility right A. Aligned

with Christ, follow his example whilst staying true to his

identity for you, very important His identity for you are yes,

yes we yes, I am who I am. But always

remember it is God who calls me who I am.

Amen.

That's a b build unity, submit to God and others,

fostering discipleship, Amen, in order to be united. We need

to submit to one another and to be disciples together.

Okay, that's why.

That's why Jesus Christ says, go and make disciples. When

we make disciples, in other words, we are submitting to

one another to be able that all may know Jesus Christ.

Right, that all flash shall see the salvation of God.

See claim God's promises, because when we are clothing humility,

God promises his blessings over us. He promises his grace,

he promises his strength, he promises victory while leading others

to him.

Amen.

Right, this is the abcis of humility, very important. Right

in closing, I can invite the extremers up.

Also in closing my car chapter six, verse eight.

Right, we've heard all that we've heard from God today

Mic six verse eight, closing with this verse. God has

shown you, oh man, He has shown you, O man,

what is good? Humility is good because it's from God.

Even Jesus Christ himself, he is clothing humility. And what

does the Lord require of you of us today but

to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly

with your God.

Amen.

Amen, we hope you've been blessed by this message. For
