Everyone receives help. We receive help from the people who have gone before us, the people who stand alongside us, and the people who follow and support us. No one is a self-made man or woman, and good leaders know they can't take full credit for their successes. In today's devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef uses Jesus' acknowledgement of Abraham and Moses as an example of humble leadership that we should emulate.If you would like more insight into today's devotional topic, listen to Dr. Michael Youssef's sermon The King Is a Servant: LISTEN NOW

**Matthew 25:1-13** 1 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5 Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 6 But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 9 But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.' 10 And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. 11 Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.' 12 But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.' 13 Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour. **I. The OT people were waiting for the coming King** **Is. 7:14** “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. **Is. 9:6** For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. **Mic. 5:2** “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity.” **Isaiah 53:2** 2 For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. 3 He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. **II. We are waiting for the coming King** **Matt. 25:1-4** 1 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 “Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3 “For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. **Matthew 25:5-7** 5 “Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 6 “But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 7 “Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. **Matthew 25:8-13** 8 “The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 9 “But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.' 10 “And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. 11 “Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.' 12 “But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.' 13 “Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour. **2 Pet. 3:8-9** 8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. **2 Peter 3:10** 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. **2 Pet. 3:11-13** 11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. **Hebrew 9:27-28** 27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, 28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. **JC Ryle** “Tomorrow is the devil's day, but today is God's. Satan does not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if only they are determined to be done tomorrow.” **Eccl. 9:12** 12 Moreover, man does not know his time: like fish caught in a treacherous net and birds trapped in a snare, so the sons of men are ensnared at an evil time when it suddenly falls on them. **2 Pet. 3:1-4** 1 This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles. 3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” **2 Pet. 3:5-7** 5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. 7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. **Matt. 24:36** 36 “But of that day and hour **no one knows,** not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. **Matt. 24:42** 42 “Therefore be on the alert, for **you do not know** which day your Lord is coming. **Matt. 24:44** 44 “For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour **when you do not think He will.** **Matt. 24:50** 50 the master of that slave will come on a day **when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,**
We in the Church like to say, “even so Lord come quickly.” And we should look forward to His coming. I know I do. But maybe we should stop going into our church buildings, shutting the doors behind us and singing, “The King is coming”. The reason Jesus has not returned yet, is because He is patient. God does not want anyone to perish. He wants everyone to repent and follow Him. Since you know this, what sort of person should you be? The Bible teaches that we should walk in holiness and godliness as we go out and tell people that The King IS coming. Please listen to this podcast and hear more about the King who is coming "Soon and Very Soon"

In my Phil Collins voice-"tonight, tonight, tonight, o-oh! Last week in 2 Samuel 4 we looked at the manifestations of the flesh. Ish Bosheth, appointed king by Abner was not anointed by God. This was a work of flesh. He did not have God's Spirit. As a result we saw Galatians 5:18-21 illustrated in 2 Samuel 4. We also learned why David had his killers hung from a tree; (to show that their deaths were a result of a divine curse). Tonight we move to chapter 5 entitled "The Anointed King is Revealed." You still have time to answer the question "who is your King? Is he a king of flesh (you)? Or is he God's anointed King. Us Christians think we know the answer, but this study will make you check your throne. Join me tonight for The Word on Wednesday, 7 p.m. central standard time. Go to globaldrive network on the internet, or pick me up on periscope. Blessings.
Advent Season 12/11/2016 What is Advent? An advent is “an arrival of a notable person, thing, or event. At Christmas we celebrate Advent where we count down the days until Christmas. How many of you go shopping and then drop hints that you are done shopping and love it when people start guessing, “what did you get me?” And your response is, “It is something awesome!” “You’re gonna love it!” God did something very similar some 700 years before Christ was born through the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah 9:6 God is telling the prophet, I have this awesome gift coming! These passages show Jesus as a Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.Mark 2:17; Mark 2:5-12; Luke 19: 9-10 How amazing to see that prophecy fulfilled in your sight! How amazing it would have been to witness Jesus in the flesh doing these things. But how much more amazing to be a part of the most important event in history! Matthew 1:18-23 Parents imagine your child today coming to you with this story. Instead of looking for God in the situation we would have been trying to figure out how to cover it up. We don’t even think about the aunts, uncles and other extended family that was wrapped up in this, “scandal!” Yet God was using them too! Luke 1:39-56 As we pass through this Advent Season, stop for a moment. Put yourself there. How are you doing now? How are you preparing your hearts and home to receive your King? Is the arrival of the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty King, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace buzzing in your heart? In just a few days, we will celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Have we prepared Him room?
