HUMILITY BRINGS ELEVATION AND HONOUR

 

 

 

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer!

The Bible says, " The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honour is humility." ( Proverbs 15:33). The title of my message is:"HUMILITY BRINGS ELEVATION AND HONOUR."

 

Humiliation of soul always brings a positive blessing with it. If we empty our hearts of self, God will fill them with His love. He who desires close communion with Christ should remember the word of the Lord, " To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of  a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word." ( Isaiah 66:2 KJV)  Stoop if you would climb to heaven. Don't we say about Jesus that, " He descended that He might ascend" ? so must you. ( Ephesians 4:8-10 KJV)

 

You must grow downwards, so that you may grow upwards. Humility and quietness, silently attract blessings and favour before man and God. God will not deny a blessing to a thoroughly humbled spirit. The Bible also says, " Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." ( James 4:10 KJV) . This again is an assurance for divine elevation by God, for those who fear the Lord and are always humble. Even our Lord Jesus was exalted and given a name which is above every name, due to His humility and love. ( Philippians 2:5-11).

 

Proverbs 22:4 also says, " By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life."  Matthew 5:3 says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," with all its riches  and treasures. The whole exchequer of God shall be made over by deed of gift to the soul which is humble enough to be able to receive it without growing proud because of it. God blesses us all up to the full measure and extremity of what it is safe for Him to do. If you do not get a blessing, it is because it is not safe for you to have one.

 

If our heavenly Father were to let your unhumbled spirit win a victory in His holy war, you would pilfer the crown for yourself, and meeting with a fresh enemy you would fall victim; so that you are kept low for your own safety. At times our blessings and breakthroughs are deliberately delayed, so that we may mature first before receiving our promise. James 4:2 -4 says, " Ye lust, and have not; ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain............, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. " Other people ask for blessings for the wrong reasons and God may protect you until you mature or deal with your weaknesses in humility and then receive a blessing after undergoing some form of training and pruning. There are some who prematurely got blessed and died early or got involved in scandals and serious problems, because there were not yet mature to receive blessings. When a man is sincerely humble, and never ventures to touch so much as a grain of the praise, there is scarcely any limit to what God will do for him.

 

Humility makes us ready to be blessed by God of all grace, and fits us to deal efficiently with our fellow men. True humility is a flower which will adorn any garden. This is a sauce with which you may season every dish of life, and you will find an improvement in every case. Whether it is prayer or praise, whether it may be work or suffering, the genuine salt of humility cannot be used in eccess.

 

Once again remember that " Humility  Brings Elevation and Honour." I therefore urge us all to remain humble, im order to attract God's true favour and blessings. Remember, pride and arrogance can destroy a person. Imitate and emulate Christ's humility, in order to find favour before man and God. ( Luke 2:52, Exodus 12:35-36) 

 

 

May God richly bless you all!
