Dignity (Summary)


Preacher: Pastor Tunde Netufo

            This morning by the grace of God, the title of my message today is “Dignity”. When you talk about dignity, it’s a state or quality of being worthy of respect or honor, Judges 9: 8 – 15.

From our text, we find what I call a typical case of an allegory. An allegory is a story that illustrates a case; an allegory is a story or an account that also gives an account of another account. Something that is symbolic and typical in nature.

We found the story of trees that desired a king, moving from one tree to the other asking them to come and become king and how they were turning it down; once they turn down, they go to the other until it gets to the last one who accepted to be king. The olive, the vine and the fig tree declined the offer of kingship because they believe in themselves and much more in what they bring to the table and that leads us to the first question, how much do you believe in yourself? How much do you believe in what you are doing?

The olive tree stood by its office of honoring God and men; among the various oils, olive is the most important and expensive.

The fig is the most valuable tree in Philistines; it is a tree with many branches and people find shade under it.

The vine tree is the most important of them all; today, it remains in the process of producing wine which (of course) has traveled all over the world because it refused to remain in the forest.

However, the bramble tree accepted the offer and became the tree of the forest; it failed to appreciate its value and today, of all the trees, it’s the cheapest and you’ll find it in the bush.

So how do we dignify our effort this year? How do we maximize our value so that we can get the best result as we journey into year 2025?

  • Learn to attach great value to whatever position you find yourself, this is because value will propel us to the next level, Romans 11: 13.
  • You must value your Christian life if you want to go to heaven, 1st Peter 2: 9.
  • Dignify yourself.
  • You must be a good time manager.
  • Cultivate the habit of reading.
  • You must be a man of integrity, Psalms 101: 2, Psalms 15: 1 – 5.
  • Prudency is key to right and creative leadership, Proverbs 14: 15 – 16.

Thank You Jesus,

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life.

“You Are Precious to God: Finding Self-Worth in Scripture”


YOU ARE PRECIOUS TO GOD.

Isaiah 43:4 Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life.

●In our everyday lives, we look to self-help techniques to improve our self-esteem.

●Yet, by looking at what God says about us in His Word, we not only deepen our understanding of our worth, but can live out our purpose and be who God designed us to be.

It doesn’t matter what others are saying, just know that you’re very precious to God.

Sometimes, God doesn’t change the situation because He wants to change you. So whatever it is that’s going on in your life right now, never stop talking to God because He absolutely hears all your concerns in life.

And most of the time, He will start changing your heart instead of changing your situation. And He usually does it during your prayer time.

So, keep on praying. The more you talk to God, the more you will realize what truly matters. Do not give up. God is listening to your prayers. The situation around us may be so difficult for us to handle, but when God starts to change our hearts, He will give us enough courage to face every obstacle that we are in.

 He will change how we see things, and only then will we be able to see all the good things He is still doing in our lives.

When God changes our hearts, we will start to see things clearly. We will no longer be occupied with our negative emotions, and we will see a lot of opportunities. Most of the time, the reason we are so burdened inside is that we focus too much on our worries and fears.

We forget that God will always help us, and He is faithful enough to guide us wherever we go. The more you focus on your problems, the more you will feel troubled inside. So set your eyes on God, and the best way to do it is to simply pray.

Thank You Jesus,
