Hello everyone,
Many times I wanted to know what being meek really meant, and I found out that it was a deeper form of humility, wow, that must be really serious because being humble isn’t what everyone just intend to display especially the way the world is, not to talk of being meek. Meekness as I understand isn’t what man displays naturally, it is a rare nature which God treasures a lot, because it is one of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Today, I’ll be looking at what would happen to those who are meek.
Jesus in His sermon on the mount said in Matthew 5:5, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Wow, that’s serious, Psalms 37:11, says, “But the meek shall inherit the earth, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” It is clear that those who are meek shall inherit the earth. The Message Bible puts Matthew 5:5 thus, “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.”
To be meek is not what anyone would just want to be going its synonyms: the mild, patient, long-suffering. With the way the world is being proud is the way forward, being meek requires the presence of the Holy Spirit, which becomes the eventual nature of anyone who receives the Holy Spirit and works with Him. Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth.
To be meek doesn’t mean being gullible or being weak, it means being wise when you look at it in the long run. And in the case where you walk with Holy Spirit, it means counting your wisdom and human acquisitions as anything, it also means being submissive, by being ready to drop yours and ready follow the Wisdom beyond wisdoms, as God Himself would always give grace to the humble and one of it is that they would inherit the earth, (ref.: 1 Peter 5:5-7). You are blessed when you are meek and there is the grace of inheriting the earth for being so, so be receive the Holy Spirit today, walk with Him and see yourself being meek and you’ll see how everything works to your favour.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
