Greetings in name of Jesus Christ! Here is a message for your meditation and prayer! I am delighted to share a message of hope and encouragement at such a time as this. The title of my message is: "HONOUR COMES AFTER HUMILITY" The Living Bible in Proverbs 15:33 says, " Humility and reverence for the Lord will make you both wise and honored." 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 contrite spirit, and trembleth at My Word." ( Psalm 51:17) Stoop if you would climb to heaven. Do we not say of Jesus, " He descended that he may ascend"? so must you.( Ephesians 4:8-10) You must grow downwards, that you may grow upwards; for the sweetest fellowship with heaven is to be experienced by humble souls, and by them alone. God will deny no blessing to a thoroughly humbled spirit. Matthew 5:3 says, " Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven," with all its riches and treasures. The scripture in Proverbs 22:4 also says, "True humility and respect for the Lord lead a man to riches, honor, and long life."(Living Bible) 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. Some blesings will not come to us or manifest until we mature. James 4:2-3 says, " ..........And even if you do ask you don't get it because your whole aim is wrong - you want only what will give you pleasure" 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 a victim; so that you are not kept low for your own safety.
The Bible also says, " Humble yourselves ( feeling very insignificant) in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you ( He will lift you up and make your lives significant)( James 4:10) Humility exalts and lifts you up! When a man is sincerely humble, and never ventures to touch so much as a grain of praise, there is scarcely any limit to what God will do for him. Humility makes us ready to be blessed by the 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 the sauce with which you may season every dish of life, and you will find an improvement in every case. Whether it be prayer or praise, whether it be work or suffering, the genuine salt of humility cannot be used is excess. The scripture also says," He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. Jesus will be made more manifest in you, if you ground to zero, in humility. The more you humble yourself, the more you attract divine favour and elevation. Sink to the ground first, in order to shoot to the top. Be like your role model Jesus, who chose to remain humble and was exalted and given the name that is above all other names, due to His humility and love. " Let this same attitude and purpose and ( Humble) mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus:( Let Him be your example in humility: ) ( Philippians 2:5-11). Humility is constructive, but pride is destructive. Be humble to receive honour and respect. Be humble to attract riches and honour! Be humble to attract divine favour and abundant grace! I pray that you continue to experience God's resurrection power everyday, as you remain humble and faithful to God.
May God richly bless you!
