This is Why Humility Raises You

Humility is a key ingredient to growth in life and also towards God, although how God sees humility is quite different from how the world sees it. But all the same, humility is very important in that it places you in the spotlight, surprising, isn’t it?

Jesus said that when you are invited to an event, do not rush to sit at the important seats, because someone or people who are more distinguished than yourself could arrive, and you would be asked to leave your seat for the more distinguished guest to sit, which could be embarrassing because you would be asked to sit at a lower space. So, Jesus said, when you are invited, you should sit at a low sit, so that when your host sees you, he then takes you to your proper sit which is higher than where you are (ref.: Luke 14:7-14).

Jesus said you shouldn’t exalt yourself, but allow others to exalt or raise you. This is being humble. An example here is the life of Jesus Himself. He was in the very form of God, but He chose to come down to earth in the form of a lowly man and didn’t rub shoulders with God, for He chose to be humble to the point of death on the cross. It was then that God highly exalted Him and gave the name above every other name. At His name—Jesus, every knee bows and every tongue confess of those in heaven, earth, and under the earth, that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (ref.: Philippians 2:5-11).

Even though you know that you should be humble, it shouldn’t be done out of hypocrisy. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you on the path of humility wherever you go, for the spirit of humility has been to everyone who is born again. Those who are raised are recognised and remembered.

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, and you are now brand new!
