Have you wondered why the humble ones are always use
by God? Because God is a humble man. The humble nature of Jesus Christ reveals
to us the mind of God.
If we are to be vessels
for God then we have to cultivate His nature of Humility. True humility
does not produce pride but gratitude. Since God is our Creator and our redeemer,
there is no bases for us to boost of our achievement.
You will realise that people always favour the humble
presidential candidate, and lawyer, doctor, hair dresser, servant etc. God in
His own wisdom always shows grace and honours the humble servant.
Humility is a freedom from
arrogance that grows out of the recognition that all we have and are comes from
God. The Greek philosophers and indeed modern technocrats despised humility
because it implied inadequacy, lack of dignity, and worthlessness to them. But
humility is the only way to the top.
Do you want a promotion,
desire a husband or wife, grace, forgiveness, favour and even Salvation then
learn humility.
Your degrees, family
connection, bank account, status etc. cannot take you where God through
humility can take you.
This is what God tells us
about Humility:
Humility is the fear
of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. Proverbs 22:4
Do nothing out of
selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above
yourselves.
Philippians 2:3
Live in harmony with
one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low
position. Do not be conceited. Romans 12:16
Therefore, as God’s
chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12
Humble yourselves,
therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 1
Peter 5:6
God chose the lowly
things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to
nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.
1 Corinthians 1:28-29
