*RESTORATION TODAY - TACN PRODUCTION*
*FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 2024.*
*TOPIC: THE SECRET OF GREATNESS*
_"So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted His kingdom for the sake of His people Israel." 2 Samuel 5:12._
*MESSAGE*
David, the man after God's own heart, a great psalmist, a battle axe in the hand of God. A great king of Israel who succeeded where others failed, who experienced being great in the Lord.
We can see in David's character and this is probably one of the reasons why God chose him. He knew that God had made him King. He did not take the credit for himself and he did not seek his own glory. He knew it was all God. He also understood that God had done it for the sake of His people. It wasn't for the sake of David that God had blessed His people, it was for the sake of Israel. David realised that it was not about him, not for his sake, not for his glory. It was just that God loves His people and wants to bless them.
Every child of God regardless of status needs to understand and remember this truth. If God is blessing you and your endeavours, and your success becomes glaring, it is not because of you or by your power, it is because God loves His people to manifest His greatness in them. Do not take the credit to yourself.
