Go Up Higher
Bible Text:
"But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, friend, go up higher" (Luke 14:10).
A flock of sheep once sighted a ewe and her lambs on a podium enjoying a stack of hay. They rushed to the scene and made series of futile efforts to have a bite. They stood on their hind limbs, bleated and rammed at the podium all to no avail. Unknown to them, there was a staircase behind the podium that the ewe and her lambs carefully climbed to the top. Unfortunately, the hay was not visible from behind. So, even the sheep that made attempt through the stair quickly and impatiently dashed back. This is the way of some youths today but in actual fact, the way up is down. Our text, shows that the way up is down. All great preachers started by being broken in repentance to receive salvation while most multi -million dollar industries started as small and medium scale industries. Make use of your day of small beginning because that is your ladder to the top. Many youths graduated from youth to adult choir and to pastors with excellence and are still moving up higher.
Challenge: The way up is down.
Prayer: Jesus, help me to discover the ladder to the top.
Quote: Make use of your day of small beginning
