9.4.18 – Vance
Havner said, “God’s system of promotion does not follow the pattern of this
age.” Often, His choicest servants remain unknown without any public
recognition, but it really comes down to this. What type of promotion do we
seek? We’ve all seen the self-promoters in and out of the church and it always
creates a negative impression. If we allow God to lift us up it will spare us
so much unnecessary stress and fretfulness. Remember, in God’s economy of
things, “The first shall be last and the last shall be first!” The way up is
down and the way to truly live is to die to self. S. E. Trail
My prayer is for a heart that is humble,
that helps (spiritual gift) and does not hinder or harm the cause of Christ!

John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who
loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. KJV
“There were 3 men who died and before God
would let them into heaven, he gave them a chance to come back as anything they
wanted. The first guy said " I want to come back as myself, but 100 times
smarter. So God made him 100 times smarter. The second guy said "I want to
be better than that guy, make me 1000 times smarter. So God made him 1000 times
smarter. The last guy decided he would be the best. So he said "God, make
me better than both of them, make me 1,000,000 times smarter. So God made him a
woman!”
