MEMORY VERSE: “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.” 1 Samuel 2:8
BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 7:17-20
[17]And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
[18]And the waters prevailed and were increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
[19]And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
[20]Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the mountains were covered.
1 Samuel 2:2-10
[2]There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like
our God.
[3]Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him, actions are weighed.
[4]The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
[5]They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
[6]The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave and bringeth up.
[7]The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
[8]He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.
[9]He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
[10]The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: The Bible is the mind of God (Isaiah 40:8) and through the Holy Spirit we can receive the interpretation of every word/mind of God. (1 Corinth. 2:6-11).
Mountains are known to be an offshoot of the earth, they have much higher levels than the earth or what is called sea level in Geography/Science.
However, the waters in the sea are never known to reach the mountains’ height not to talk of overflowing to cover the mountains anywhere in our present world.
From our text above, God is the one who can do and undo, once during the flood in the time of Noah, God made waters to cover the mountains and the waters which used to be below rose up while the mountains were now down.
He is actually the God who can put down and lift up as He did to the mountains and waters. Anyone who sees himself as occupying a very high seat and fails to humble himself before God may be hit by a shaking that will debase or ridicule him and take him out of power.
The Bible teaches *”Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he falls.”* (1Corith 10:12, Eph 6:5-11).
LESSON OUTLINE:
LESSONS FROM THE GOD THAT MADE THE MOUNTAINS AND THE WATERS.
1. Every position/status or promotion is from God Almighty and for a specific purpose. Ps. 75:6-7.
2. God wants us to carry out our positions/purposes on earth in humility before Him. 2 Chron. 34:24, Deut. 8:2-6.
3. God can turn the table – Deut. 8:11-20, Gen 7:17-20.
4. All things are created for His pleasures. Rev 10:6, Eph 3:9, Col. 1:16
CONCLUSION: The mystery of God’s creation of man is that man is simply the clay in the Hand of Almighty God, the potter. Isaiah 64:8; Jer 18:4-6, God can mould us to anything He Wishes, hence we must always be there to satisfy and fulfil His will, we are created for His pleasure.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank God for the gift of salvation.
2. Father please like a mountain towers above the seas/waters, lift my head up always.
3. Father please give me the spirit of humility before you always.
4. Father you have lifted me up, never bring me down for my enemies to mock me in Jesus’ name.
5. Pray for Daddy G. O. and his family.
