No matter how many great things you’ve achieved on this earth, remember that God gave you the strength and anointing to do it. Be careful of boasting about yourself because Nebuchadnezzar tried it and ended up in the bush for seven years.
You don’t have to be fast to reach where God wants you to be. God is the director of your life. He determines the speed with which you ought to move, not yourself. If He tells you to be patient, control yourself and be patient.
Paul showed us how to carry the humble mindset of Christ in our relationships with one another using Philippians 2:5-7. He says we should not be title-conscious but servant-conscious, especially as leaders in Christ. That requires that, at certain times, you have to let go of some of your privileges in order to help others.
If you own a laptop, that machine doesn’t teach you what to do. Instead, you use it for what you want. In the same way, this God who owns us wants us to submit ourselves to Him. But why? It’s not because He wants to dominate our lives. Instead, He wants us to become empowered to fulfil our divine mandates accurately and vigorously.
God exalts those who humble themselves under His mighty hand according to His own timetable. Learn to trust God!
Stop trivialising leaders and coveting their positions. You may not be the boss at your workplace. However, focus on serving and doing what’s godly but uncommon such as practising daily Bible reading, fasting, book reading and praying consistently. God will exalt you.
Choose to humble yourself before God by casting your care upon him — the care about what you have, don’t have or even need. He’s able to supply all those needs. Only be mindful of fulfilling kingdom assignments. He’ll make people honor you with you demanding it from them.
Submit to one another in the Lord. Nobody is too old or young in Christ to minister to you. Clothe yourself in godly humility and be attentive to the Word of God coming out of the mouths of the brethren.
We are sheep amongst wolves in this world. Therefore, be wise. Don’t exalt yourself. Be humble, and let God exalt you.
The code of humility before God is different from that before people. To humble yourself before God, cast all your care upon Him. However, to humble yourself amongst the brethren, recognize and submit to authority.
God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Choose to humble yourself before God before He humbles you.
It is possible to learn obedience as a Christian. And one of the ways to do it is by enduring suffering.
