"BE HUMBLE IN YOUR HEART"
*Rather let it be the hidden person of the Heart, with incorruptible beauty of the gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God (1 Peter 3:4)*.
Humility is the attitude of being low in heart, submitting to one another from the heart in the fear of God. Humility is an activity of the Spirit. It cannot be judged from the outside because it is a character of the heart. (Psalms 138:6). No matter how highly gifted you are, when it’s mixed with pride, it’s not acceptable to God. Your desire should be that whatever you offer to the Lord in ministry and in your service to Him be accepted, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Everything you do in the house of God is an offering to Him; your service is a sacrifice to God. But God won’t accept your sacrifice if it’s mixed with selfishness and greed; pomposity, pride, and arrogance. Greatness in the house of God isn’t measured by some results that you have achieved or attained. Take an example of Moses; one man with the greatest revelation of the Word of God. In *Number 12:3* the Bible says that *”Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth."*
Correct and guide yourself with the scriptures, with the wisdom of God at all times. Keep walking in humility, for it’s a great blessing and the pathway to promotion with God. When you cultivate such a lifestyle, God will exalt you. Remember meekness precedes greatness, but pride is before destruction.
1 Peter 5:5-6 Says...Likewise, you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble. Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
LET'S PRAY 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Dear Father, I am submissive to authority, to influence, and impact of Your Word. Pride, arrogance, haughtiness, or egotism have no place in me. I walk in love and humility, experiencing ever-increasing greatness and unlimited progress in life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
