TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:1-2
INTRODUCTION: When someone has graduated from the divine school of destiny, he becomes a new person. Certain characteristics begin to manifest in his life.
MEEKNESS IS POWER
Firstly, he becomes very meek. When you have passed through the fire of suffering, trained by the Almighty God, you become meek. You become like a sheep. A sheep is very simple and very gentle. When people see meek people they think they are weak. Meekness is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of tremendous strength. Col.3:12.
There is an example of a man who was well trained in Judo. Some people were bent on fighting him but he kept his cool. In fact he ran. They pursued him. At a time, they cornered him. He had to fight back. He broke the hands of all his attackers.
When you have become what God wants you to become, you will become so powerful that you will not want to fight because you know your worth. Moses said if God sent him, the ground must swallow up his enemies. Before he finished speaking, the ground had swallowed them up. Also, remember Elijah who, when the soldiers came and said they had come to arrest him, decreed that they be roasted. Before he finished speaking, they had turned to ashes. NUM. 16:2834; 2 Kgs. 1:9-10
CONCLUSION
Apart from becoming very powerful, the meek are blessed people. Ps.22:26; Ps.25:9; Ps 147:6; Matt.5:5.
