Less Is Truly More

But John respond to them relax all that we have come from Him anyway.

Entitlement is the cause the head of greed to rise up.

Entitlement cause us not to be thankful

1 Samuel 16;

The lord ask Samuel how long will you morn over Saul I have rejected him.

The Lord sent Saul to the house of Jesse with a horn of oil, to anoint a New King.

When he arrives Jesse lines his boys up before Saul all but David.

Saul looks at all of them, great physic, built for war and ready for kingship.

They all had along with Jesse a mentality of entitlement, they had prepared for this day.

Why scripture says that it would come from the linage of Jesse and we have prepared ourselves.

We are connected to Jesse. Even though you’re connected and physically prepared, you’re not spiritually ready.

Saul says Jesse is there another? This was heard for Jesse because historians say that David was disowned because he was conceived under manipulation. That Jesse didn’t want any more children but Nitzevet David’s mother had David anyway, which lead to David being sent to tend sheep on the backside of the desert.

People complain about the backside of the desert but that is where David found,

Humility, Worship, and importance of being thankful.

In the front line is the prepared and ready son of Jesse, knowing they are entitled to the throne. In the back is David thank God knowing feeling he is worthy of nothing.

Entitlement loose site of Humility, Gratitude and focuses on personal importance and personal achievements.

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think:

Luke 9: 48 for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

As saints of God there are thing we are entitled to according to the New Covenant.

John 3: 16

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Because of His blood and His death I am entitled to salvation and eternal life!

Isaiah 53:4-6

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

According to Isaiah 53

BUT!!!!!

His anointing on come through my faithfulness!

His Glory only manifest through my Worship!

His promotion only comes through our dedication!

II. Entrusted

Those that are entrusted understand the responsibility of His Glory, His Presence and His Anointing.

They are found among the humble!

John with all of his evaluations and proclamations still counted himself as a fading star in the shadow of the mighty Son!
