RESTORATION TODAY
FRIDAY 12TH MAY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don't they come from the evil desires at war within you?? James 4: 1.
I think we could safely say that so many of the problems we deal with are because of our selfish human natures.
Selfishness is at the root of many sins. Even little children have this trait. You see two kids fighting over one toy. It's all because one child wants what the other has. That is just human nature. We are that way, and we carry this trait with us through life. James pointed out the same thing in James 4: 1. Many problems in our society are because of selfishness.
When marriages are falling apart, by and large, it is because of selfishness. People have sex before marriage because of selfishness. At the root of adultery is selfishness. Name a problem, and for the most part you will find selfishness rearing its ugly head. Paul urged the believers at Philippi, :Don't be selfish; don?t try to impress others.
Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves? (Philippians 2: 3). So don't be controlled by selfishness.
ACTION POINTS
Selfishness is at the root of all man's problems.
SCRIPTURES:
James 4: 1
Philippians 2: 3.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for the gift of another day in the name of Jesus.
2. O Lord, take selfishness away from my heart in the name of Jesus.
3. Father, deliver me from every trouble I've gotten myself into because of selfishness in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Number 22: 39 | 23: 26
