THEME: BEING LIKE CHRIST- SELFLESSNESS 2

TEXT(S): PHILIPPIANS 2:1-8

MEMORY VERSE: Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29NLT

_MESSAGE…._
The beauty of selflessness is the atmosphere of peace in the soul of man. Christ Jesus, our eternal High priest knowing very well the worth of peace in the soul of man,
makes a brilliant and clear call, . *_”Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls..Matt. 11:29AMP_* Taking the yoke and learning from our eternal High priest is the exact root of peace/refreshment in the soul of man, Praise God!. Friends, have we been learning from Christ, our ever living High Priest?

Everyone who has been learning from Christ Jesus bears a joyful witness of the sort of peace he/she has in herself/himself. Broad are the things we have to learn from Christ Jesus but narrowly, selflessness, is a fruit of *Humility*. Do we crave for this peace in the soul?. Have we longed for this kind of peace in the soul?. For this peace, He said, it surpasses what the world gives. It’s only this sort of peace that causes people to live in total harmony without resentment, conflict of interests, unforgiveness, among others. Amazingly, this peace is birthed in the soul of one who learns from Christ and the other who earns the acts. This is the peace the writer of Hebrews admonishes us to pursue with all men. How do we pursue it then?

*”Don’t be selfish;… Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Phil. 2:3NLT* Christ Jesus, being _the God incarnate_ thought and still thinking of our well-being dearly. Manager, CEO, Head teacher, Care taker, Elder, Pastor, Master, Husband, Wife, SRC president, Presidents, Directors and Chairpersons of various unions/boards and so on, do you consider the well-being/interest of coworkers and subordinates?

Let’s pray:O Lord, Your grace to remain selfless, we pray in Christ Jesus’ name. Amen
