Brothers and sisters, humility is truth because those who humble themselves God will surely exalt.
Most of us are very deceitful, thinking it is wisdom. Jesus stepped down into this wicked wilderness we call home with humility, the Author of life, the Prince of life, the Originator of life was born in a room for animals, laid on a bed for animals, and wrapped with clothing for animals. Without Jesus, the things that were created where never created. Who are we to be proud? To be condescending? We are wretched sinners.
I often talk about pride because God cannot go near those who are proud, so please be humble. God kicked Satan out of His presence because of pride. Matthew 23:12 Asserts. “Who ever exalts himself will be humbled.”
Children of God, the Assembly of God, God’s Body must not be proud. “Be alert and of sober mind, your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” (1 Peter 5:8-9) (NIV).
You are not alone, whatever you are going through, stand firm and focus on Jesus. Believe and trust in Him, be sober-minded (orderly manner, your mood, and your thoughts) please do not keep any unforgiveness in your heart/thoughts. Surrender all to Jesus and He will fill you with His peace, His Love, sweet sleep, and a merry heart.
Brothers and sisters, let us allow Jesus’s footsteps to be our pathway, imitate Jesus, be spiritually transformed to be Christ-like. Please let the old man in you go and allow the new man to take over.
