>>> PART 2 OF PROPHET EDDS SERMON 2. HUMILITY Whilst teaching on worship, Prophet EDD said, “For a person to worship God, they must remove the spirit of pride. You can only come before God if you are humble. Without humility, you cannot truly worship God. You would be looking at your situation and say to God. How can I bow down to a God I don’t know.” INSTRUCTION: Tell your neighbor, “BE HUMBLE”! “You know you don’t lose anything by being humble. If you are tall and are humble, you remain tall and if you are short and humble, you remain short. You do not lose anything.” “The problem with us that removes the spirit of worship from us is that we look too high upon ourselves. Our jobs and positions at work because of them am a CEO,am a manager, I own a business, I cannot be seen worshipping as much as other people. Already you are not humbling yourself before the Lord. The spirit of worship is already gone. Hallelujah. So, for you to be a true worshipper, to maintain what you received today, you need to be humble. Narrating his experience with people who lacked humility, Prophet EDD cited that he had met big men in his community whom he initially thought highly of. However, the moment he got into their presence, he felt sorry for them. He said, “The moment I got into their sphere of influence, I began to realize that this is not it. There is no humility here. There are men and women of God whom you meet and think, this is powerful but the moment I got into their sphere of influence, you start realizing, there is no humility. There are people you see on TV and say, this one is doing well. He has a company and he is humble. But the moment you get into their sphere of influence, you realize it is a front they are trying to put up. You realize there is no humility any more. Am I talking to somebody here?” LESSON: A poor man is not humble. Do you know that? Prophet EDD taught that most of us think that being poor makes us humble. He said, “You know that there are people who are very poor and very proud. You cannot tell them everything. In their poor state they are proud. You cannot teach them, talk to them, communicate with them anything yet they are poor. We Christians think that if a person is poor they are humble, it is wrong. How do you see a person who is humble and one who is not? For you to see who is humble, give them money or a position. If a person has money and a position and yet still sees themselves as a nobody, that is humility. You can be rich with millions and a boss in your company, you have a big title at your workplace, yet you still see yourself as a nobody, you are humble. You still regard your brother who gets US$ a month and still see them as a person. That means you are humble. Being poor does not mean that a person is humble. Being poor allows a person to please people so that they can gain something from them but there is no humility there. Am I talking to somebody there?” STANDARD FOR LIFE: Affirming the message he received from God Prophet EDD said, “ The Lord said to me this morning, I do not work with anybody who is proud. Anything that has pride in it I distance myself. Are you listening to me? Anything or anyone that has pride in it, I distance myself.” I asked why? It reminds me of Lucifer. When you are proud in your state and you say God had nothing to do with this, it reminds me of Lucifer and where is he now? Glory be to Jesus. Anything and everything you ever want in your life, be very very humble. You will not lose anything by being humble. If you are a CEO of a company does that make you a sweeper? Most people think that respect is commanded, but it is earned. Do you know that? You might be in a big position with money but people still see you as worthless. Yet somebody earning the same money, people worship him, even the poor. Am I talking to somebody? At the start of this ministry last year. This ministry is barely a year old officially. At the beginning of the ministry, God said, I will do great things in the ministry. I will call people from every walk of life, from every nation upon the earth. I was thanking God and saying God you are amazing because you have never told me a lie. And then there came a BUT, in all you do BE HUMBLE! I kept quiet and listened and he said in all you do be humble. The moment you cease from being humble, the moment I cease my presence in your church. Am I talking to somebody? I don’t have to scare you by walking with 30 body guards. The people you see around me are my men of God. Ask them, do I call them body guard? They are doing their job by protecting me from people who do not like me. In all the miracles that take place, there are people here who are sending me death threats. Am I talking to somebody? In all that will be happening and everything, there are people who are planning to get mobs and beat me up. That is the reason why you always see these guys around me. I don’t have to show that am anointed by moving with 30 or 40 men around me? What for? My anointing speaks for itself. I don’t have to scare you by being too proud or by talking too much. The moment you cease from being humble, I will remove my spirit from the church. Every time somebody become proud, they remind me of Lucifer. He then reminded me that Pride if before a fall. Whenever somebody has pride, they are destined for a fall. In your 10 billion dollars you boast that your money will never have an end. Do not worry, there is a fall ahead. In your anointing, you say you have done this and that. Where there is pride, there is a fall guaranteed. You are digging your own grave. Am I talking to somebody? Hallelujah! Glory be to God. I said, be humble. What do we actually possess that can make us look down on one another? Everything that you have is actually being borrowed from God. Your house, your car, the money in your account God gave you. In actual fact, you own nothing. All that you have, God has given you. Even I myself, God gave me the two dollars that I have in my pocket. The anointing that am working with, it is God who gave me. Everything that I have is being borrowed. He said, the moment, just that one moment you cease to be humble, I will cease my spirit. And now as much as I fear God, my prayer every day that I wake is “Lord if there is a spirit that is trying to put pride in me, please destroy it in the morning today. Because I know that the moment I accept pride in me, am going down. That is why the Holy Spirit came and showed me the spirit of worship. Many do not have the spirit of worship in them. They say they don’t want to cry because they have make up on. The guys will not fall down or kneel down because there is no spirit of worship in them. In its place there is now pride which is at work. And even in the house of the Lord they still see themselves as high and mighty. Am I talking to somebody? Am I communicating with you? Some months ago, there is a high profile person. They said they want top see me. There was no church at the time. They said they would have loved to come to church so that they can humble themselves in the presence of God, but because there is no church, they forced themselves to come to my home. This is not someone who is small. In society they are big, money, you don’t tell them, influence, everybody knows them. But this is the person I told they can come to see me this time. They stopped everything they were doing and ran. The moment they got to my house, the door was open, they came in kneeling. And I looked at myself, are these the people we read in the newspaper? Are these not the people we see on TV? When I said stand up and he said, I will not bow down because am seeing you. I know there is God here and in the presence of God I humble myself. I forget everything and who I am because I know I have come into the presence of my father. That was very profound to me. Then I said, this man that has uncountable cars, unaccountable houses, influence is known world wide; If he can kneel down in the presence of God, what about me? I live in my mothers house, no car, zero balance in the account, what about me? Hallelujah somebody! Humility!! If you search for the word humility in your Bible, two or three words after the word, there is the word honour. How many of us have noticed this? How many have a Bible in your phone? In your Ipad? Go into your electronic Bible and search for the Word humility. You will see that two or three words after the word humility there is usually the word honour. Proverbs 15 verse 33: The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom and before honour is humility. Proverbs 22:4: By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honour in life. There is a pattern here. If you want to be honoured in life, humility is the key, do you see that. The Bible is clear there, every scripture there is talking about humility, ; bringing your self low so that you can be lifted high. You do not get honour in society by throwing around money, or by bribing people. You get it by being humble. Every time, they mention riches and wealth, the Bible talks of humility. Hallelujah somebody. Glory to God. HUMILITY IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING IN THE SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL.
