THE POWER OF HUMILITY

Good day friends, I believe we are all doing well in the presence of God today. For those that didn't make it to church today, I bring you the word of God straight from my father in the Lord Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere Gift. As you come in contact with this message today, may your life receive the change that only God brings in Jesus name Amen.
Our Bible reading today comes from Daniel 4:28-33, Luke 1:52, 14:11. King Nebuchadnezzar was one of the world's greatest ruler. He conquered many kingdoms and defeated many nations that he became proud and ended up living like an animal for seven years. Many people have lost great things because of pride.  Jesus Christ our Lord taught us humility by washing the feet of His disciples. For he that exalts himself shall fall.
