First African Baptist Church FOR YOUR INFORMATION Jan. 4 - 10, 2019 God Gives Grace to the Humble First Peter 5:5 tells us that God "sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble." And anyone who thinks they're a self- made man or woman has a rude awakening coming because Jesus said, "...Apart from Me (cut off from vital union with Me) you can do nothing" (John 15:5 AMP). When we live in pride, trying to succeed without God's help, we're left open to so many attacks from the enemy. But humility is a covering that draws the help of God into our lives to protect us. When we humble ourselves by saying, "God, I don't know what to do, and I'm trusting You," He will help us. God won't allow us to succeed at anything unless we're leaning and relying on Him. But, when we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, in due time, He will exalt us (see 1 Peter 5:6). "Due time" is God's time, when God knows we're ready, not when we think we're ready. The sooner we understand and accept that, the sooner God can work out His plan in our lives. Prayer Starter: God, I humble myself before You, knowing that You will exalt me in due time. I can't succeed on my own. I need Your help. –––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ------------------------------------------ January Lunch Delivery: Ward 1 ----------------------------------------- Humility ----------------------------------------- Prayer Leaders WARD 3 ----------------------------------------- Scriptures Friday, January 4th Philippians 2:3 - 11 Saturday, January 5th Proverbs 11:1 - 6 Sunday, January 6th James 4:4 - 10 Monday, January 7th Proverbs 22:1 - 4 Tuesday, January 8th Luke 14:7 - 11 Wednesday, January 9th Romans 12:1 - 3 Thursday, January 10th I Peter 5:1 - 7 First African Baptist Church 23 Montgomery Street Savannah, GA 31401 Sacrificial Solitary Prayer Wednesdays @ 6:00AM For Transportation call The Church office @ 912.233.6597 The 29th Annual 12 Night Revival ~ Hosted by the Clergymen In Action: January 1st - 12th, 7:00 pm Nightly Second Arnold Baptist Church (January 1st - 3rd) St. John Divine Baptist Church (January 4th - 6th) First Mount Bethel Baptist Church (January 7th - 9th) Bethlehem Baptist Church (January 10th - 12th) Pastor T.N.

God Gives Grace to the Humble
First Peter 5:5 tells us that God "sets Himself against the proud, but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble." And anyone who thinks they're a self-made man or woman has a rude awakening coming because Jesus said, "...Apart from Me (cut off from vital union with Me) you can do nothing" (John 15:5 AMP).
When we live in pride, trying to succeed without God's help, we're left open to so many attacks from the enemy. But humility is a covering that draws the help of God into our lives to protect us. When we humble ourselves by saying, "God, I don't know what to do, and I'm trusting You," He will help us.
God won't allow us to succeed at anything unless we're leaning and relying on Him. But, when we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, in due time, He will exalt us (see 1 Peter 5:6). "Due time" is God's time, when God knows we're ready, not when we think we're ready. The sooner we understand and accept that, the sooner God can work out His plan in our lives.
Prayer Starter: God, I humble myself before You, knowing that You will exalt me in due time. I can't succeed on my own. I need Your help.
