InCrease…
Give me a GREATER Desire for you!
This Phrase was Expressed…
Not ONLY Did Great Men and women in the Biblical
and History
Give me a GREATER Desire for you!
But I know at one point or another…
Many Of Us with our Hearts asked God..…
Give me a GREATER Desire for you!
Thus… Amazingly God has put this Human Drive That everybody who is sane…
want to be GREATER…
What Does the word mean: To be much more or above Average!
We all want to be Greater
some even the greatest …
We live in a world where Life is “All about being the greatest!!!”
I CAPTIVATED By this phrase which Ironic and I will explain why?
WHO IS THE GOAT! THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME??
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME??
NOW I Got to Admit We are all somewhat entertained by those who are considered the “Greatest Of All Time…”
Every Generation Has What they Consider The Goat… “The Greatest Of All Times”
I ASK WHO IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME… EVER??
- He Is Not Describe as THE GOAT, But THE Lamb (Is that Ironic?)
The Greatest of All Time FOREVER MORE… IS JESUS CHIST GOD ALMIGHTY!!
Another Reason why this phrase… Ironic..
Who is the First Describe in the Bible to want to be GREATER???
- There Is One Who Wanted to be GREATER… “LUCIFER…”
I AM NOT SAYING THERE IS A CONNECTION HERE…
IRONIC THE SYMBOL FOR SATANIC CHURH AND BIBLE…
Now I Am Not Saying that There is a Connection…
BUT MAYBE THAT IS THE LESSON IS THIS…
GREATNESS has been EVERBODY pursuit since Even before the beginning of Time.
Another Reason why this phrase… Ironic..
IRONIC THE INSTICT OF A GOAT
BUT I AM NOT SAYING IT IS EVIL TO WANT TO BE GREAT!!
It is Human Nature…
YES … every man and every woman wants to be great NOT LESSER..
Is It Wrong to Want to be Great…?
NO… NOT NECESSARLY
IT IS JUST THAT There IS GREAT INFLUENCE TOWARD… Temporary, Carnal Greatness..
IT IS NOT WRONG TO WANT TO BE GREATER… IT IS HUMAN NATURE… YET HUMAN NATURE IS INCLINE TO PURSUE TEMPORAL, PHYSICAL SATIFICTION.. ONLY..
TRUTH: JESUS SPOKE CLEARLY…
Evidence… But he is the VERDICT: Ruling;
JOHN 3:19
9 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
Is It Wrong to Want to be Great…?
NO… NOT NECCESARLY….
BUT OUR
HUMAN TENDENCY WILL ONLY Pursue Greatness that stratifies our flesh..
The Enemy will Tempt us to JUST WANT TEMPORAL GREATNESS, RAPID GREATNESS…
HE IS THE AMAZING INSIGHT…. GREAT NEWS!!
WE WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGN BY GOD TO WORSHIP / PURSUE / SERVE HIS PURPOSE…
Therefore, When WE Get Saved, REPENT OF OUR SINFUL WAYS,
GOD BEGINS TO WORK AT THE ORIGINAL DESIGN…
The Spirit Comes to live in us and God begins the Work Sanctification…
BIG THOUGT: Moving our Sinful desire and giving Us HOLY Desire…
Paul wrote In More Detail ABOUT The Spirit Work In US!!!!
This words Start in Romans 8:1
(Romans 8:31–32)
What, then, shall we say in response to this?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son,
but gave him up for us all—
how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
GOD BEGINS TO START AND TO STIR A DESIRE IN ME!!!!
- NOW I Just DON’T want to be greater in HUMAN STANDARDS
NOW I WANT TO BE GREAT FOR GOD!!!
I want to be more like the greatest of all Time Christ Jesus God Almighty
The Is No One Greater Than God? We say..
My Goal For 2024 Is to Have a Greater Love For GOD!!
BUT ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT IN ME…
“I am Going to Be COMPLETELY Honest with You…”
I NEED GOD…
“I NEED to be Greater Faith In God…”
NOW GOD SHOWS US…
1. Greatness in the World is Not Greatness With God!
Most Christians judge greatness by standards of the world.
The world says fame and fortune define greatness.
Here is what happens:
We see and hear the philosophy of the world, and it is not long before we adopt the standards of the world rather than the standards in the Word of God.
The world says influence and power define greatness.
Greatness in the Bible was never determined by how much money someone had or how much influence or power they claimed to have.
JESUS IS CLEARY ABOUT WHAT GREATNESS IS…
JESUS JUST FINISHES TEACHING.. That He Would Make the Great Sacrifice on the Cross, but resurrect the 3rd day…
The mother of James and John… As can my sons sit next to him went He establishes his kingdom… They Began to argue….
Matthew 20
25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you,
let him be your servant.
27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Greatness Is Serving
ETERNAL Greatness was always given to the one who was a servant.
THUS... Jesus is Our Example of Greatness!
Greatness Is Serving
and God is calling Us to
A Call to Biblical Greatness!
2. JESUS SET THE EXAMPLE OF GREATNESS…
Now Not Only For When we Get to Heaven…
But Greatness IN LIFE!!!!
Greatness is really no more than taking the place of a servant.
Greatness Is Serving

(Psalm 119:32)
Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me and teach me your law.30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws.31 I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame.32 I run in the path of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding.
ה He
33 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.[b]34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart.35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.36 Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.[c]38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.39 Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.40 How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.
