TOPIC: LORD DELIVER ME FROM SELF CENTREDNESS

SCRIPTURE: And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth - Genesis 11:4

MEMORY VERSE: 2 Timothy 3:1

DIGGING DEEP: There are couple of things we do and we think that God is happy or glorified with it. But the fact is that it does not even strike a cord in the realm of the spirit. Because according to the mathematical law which says that "when the premise is wrong the answer will definately be wrong. So it is with our walk with God, if our mindset is wrong we get nothing out of it.
For instance some people go on fasting just to show how spiritual they are, there are people who study Scriptures not because they love the word but to be able to intimidate others. There are equally those who serve and work hard in Church so that everyone that sees them will praise or appreciate them. There are people who sing not to bless the listeners but to show how good they can sing.
Beloved there are Pastors who are presssured into prophesying when God has not spoken or when it is not there gifting. Seeking relevance outside God is like a fish trying to live outside water.
So many to mention, but the truth is that if anything we do for God have a self undertone or attachment in it, it becomes worthless and valueless before God. Been selfless is not having a stake in what you do for God.
Our text reveals three levels of self centredness:
1. SECULARISM: "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven..." A show of lack of regards for God and for such people God doesn't matter. They exclude God from their existence. To them what matters is what is it accepted secularly? There are preachers who are like this they support gay rights, homosexualism and others just because it is secularly okay.
2. NARCISSISM: "...and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." It is a demonic charater of ego that says that all that matters is me. This is Thinking highly of one self and totally engrossed in the pursuit of vainglory. It is what caused lucifer to fall.
3. INDIVIDUALISM: "...and let us make us a name..." It is a habit of others don't matter so long as it does not affect you.
You must stand and weed off any form of self centredness in your life. Self centredness always have a way of drawing one against God and makes one think and do things that are anti God. Things that make you say forget God let us deal with this matter intellectually is all self centredness, self reliance and this scatters people.
I pray that self be dead indeed and Christ becomes alive in you in Jesus' name.

PRAYER: O Lord deliver me from my self in Jesus' name.
