THE LEGACY OF HEROES

Message by Pastor Taiwo Odukoya

Bible Text:1 Samuel 16:1-3, 11-13; 17:49-51; 2 Samuel 7:8-17.

In Jesus Christ there is no redundancy. God has a habit of making heroes. The best place a man can best experience joy and express his best dancing steps is in God’s presence, not on the party dance floor. It is the only place you can have the fullest joy.

Usually, when God wants to use someone, He frequently uses the word ‘GO’. When a man gets to a point where he can no longer continue with God, He removes and replaces him no matter where he is or where he has attained.

The Lord has been waiting for you for a long time. He hides His power in insignificant things. The same bait that the devil wants to use against you is what the Lord will use as your stepping stone.

Is David a hero? Did he leave a legacy? How did you know? The answer is yes. Despite all his mistakes and frailties, he was a hero. Then what makes a hero? How can you describe a hero?

HABITS

By Pastor Taiwo Odukoya

Every success or failure we will ever experience in life is the result of what we are constantly in the habit of doing...

“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.”(Luke 4:16)

The story is told of a man who decided to do away with his bad habits. He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, stared at it and said, “Who is stronger, you or me?”  He answered, “Me.”  So he stopped smoking.  He took a bottle of beer and said, “Who is stronger, you or me?”  There was silence for a few seconds.  “Well,” he said sadly, “I am not very sure about that yet.”

As men, we are ruled by habits.  Every success or failure we will ever experience in life is the result of what we are constantly in the habit of doing. Good habits naturally tend to success and contentment while bad habits tend to failure and frustration.

Habits are God’s key to help us succeed in life.
