Episode 108 - Not Unto Us

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham. Every great revival and movement of God begins with a spirit of humility. John the Baptist stated, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). It is this spirit of humility that God blesses. After three years in seminary, A young preacher was excited about preaching his first sermon in his home church. He walked boldly to the pulpit, his head high, radiating self-confidence.Unfortunately, his message was a flop. He quickly ended the message, and walked dejectedly from the pulpit, his head down, his self-assurance gone.Later, one of the godly elders whispered to the embarrassed young man, “If you had gone up to the pulpit the way you came down, you might have come down the way you went up.” As the Psalmist said, “Not unto us, but unto thy name give glory” May we live this life with a desire to give all the Glory back to God!
