THEME: Wine Is A Mocker. IV.
MEMORY VERSE:
“Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous.”
1 Timothy 3:3.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Luke 1:15.
“For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, I shared a story of my old high school colleague; who was drunk, helpless, degraded and abused by his colleagues all because, he was careless with mixed wine. Thank God the colleagues were not devilish, his case would have been more pathetic and gory.
As Christians, our today’s text point our attention to some of the criteria for greatness, one of which is not given to wine or strong drink, rather to be filled with the Holy Ghost and power.
However, our memory verse declared that a man or a woman, who desire greatness, must not be given to wine. For a drunken man, can strike under the influence of wine, can be greedy, brawler and covetous of others properties or women.
Conclusively, Wine is a mocker, dearly beloved, don’t be mocked by it or by anything. Do know that, there is no crime in enjoying oneself. But, if you want to entertain yourself, do it with caution. For without caution, your enjoyment can lead to destruction of one’s divine purpose. May you not be mocked in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you. *Jesus is coming very soon.* Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
By the help of God, I will attain greatness.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, you purpose for my life is to attain greatness. Help me Lord, not to go against your plans for my life in Jesus name. Amen.
