Simplicity towards Elevation

 

Text:  1Peter5:6

 Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God , that he may exalt you in due time

There are favourable environment that is very ideal to growth. Remember, pride goes before a fall. We are encouraged to cloth ourselves with the garment of humility. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Humility is being comfortable with who you are in the Lord. Meekness  can bring you before kings and sustain you at the throne, like anointing can take you to the top but you need character to remain up. God opposes the proud but give grace to humble. Do you know so many people challenges and suffering in life brought them to a place of humility, why should we allow such? Why go through that process to become humble. Let’s develop humility through the teaching of the gospel of Christ which changes your nature little by little, line upon line until Christ is formed in you.   Prob3:34 Surely he scorneth the scorners, but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

This ELEVETION is vital, like for Joseph he humbled himself by yielding to the hand of God and submitting to his will. Interestingly, what we are proud of - beauty, certificate, property, talents, good character, good spiritual life, good job, great experience and exposure, academic excellence etc are from God. Let's allow God to exalt us in our due season as we humble ourselves. God has our schedule do not run your own government since you cannot sustain the elevation up there. Allow the controller and creator of the universe who can do all things take over in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Oh Lord, any where we have been resisted in the time past by reason of pride may your mercy prevail in Jesus name. 

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, if you are wearing this garment of humility, there is always evidence to show.
