Happy Sunday everyone,
Several times we’ve heard a lot
about humility being a good moral virtue, but humility is actually beyond just
a good moral virtue; it is a pathway to who God has made you become, in greatness
and power. And many people don’t know the importance of humility because of the world we live in.
This act didn’t only strengthen
Mr. B, but it also strengthened Mr. A whom the apology was made to, as he
learnt a lot. What Mr. B may not know is that he earned more respect from Mr. A
than before, and it was the benefit of humility.
In the Bible, to allow God into your life, thus dropping everything and
following His will is the highest form of humility you could offer, because the
Bible says. “Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in
your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may
exalt you, casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your
worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you
affectionately and cares about you watchfully. 1 Peter 5:6-7 AMP.
When you allow God to take charge of your life, you would do things you knew
you wouldn’t have been able to do before, and this is because of the grace and
the strength given to you by God.
When
you see the life of Jesus, you see humility, the Bible says, “And after
He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further]
and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!
Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely
bestowed on Him the name that is above every name...” Philippians 2:8-9 AMP. God
gave Jesus the name that is above every other name. This happens to us when we
do what the scriptures say in 1 Peter 5:6-7.
As a believer, having challenges and claiming you can take charge of it by
yourself won’t take the problem away, it would only worsen it. This is why you
see a believer who is poor and in poverty doesn’t seem to get any better. It is
pride that is in your way, nothing else! Some believers feel it is wrong for
believers to have great wealth, so they decide to remain contented with their
level. Others feel when they have health issues it is normal. This is pride and
not humility!
God doesn’t make anyone poor or sick or have challenges. The moment we face any
challenge it is the moment where we look up to God and cast our problems on Him
[ref.: 1 Peter 5:7], this is the humility God expects from you. As you allow
Him to take charge of you, you'd see all your challenges fade away gradually
and miracles start happening. As Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I
will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn
of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find
rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for
your souls." Matthew 11:28-29 AMP. This is the life God wants for
us, and it's all because of His love for us. This is the gospel truth.
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!
