Proverbs 25:7; “It’s better to be promoted to a place of honor than face humiliation by being demoted.”
Have you notice a series of common threads throughout the Bible? These are Kingdom principles that apply to both the Old and the New Covenant. One of those threads has to do with “humility”.
I was one of those believers who thought I knew what humility was, and could not have been more wrong. With my horrid definition I ended up destroying the multiple ministries God gave me, and was sent to the “back side of the desert” to learn humility. It’s been a 20 year plus journey, and now confess I’m still learning its definition. I’m on my way out of the desert.
What I’ve learned is that with humility you live a life of constant acknowledgement that God is the “All powerful One” and I’m not. He has all the answers, I only have the answers He’s given me, or directed me to.
God wanted the Church to understand that so he wrote through Paul to the Church in the Ephesian letter (chapter 6), “…be strong in the Lord and the power of His might”. His power NOT mine. His might NOT mine. Therein is success through God. As Jesus wrote to us through Peter in his first letter to the Church, “Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God and He will exalt you in due season”.
Our part of the covenant is to humble ourselves submitting to His Word of the covenant and in His timing He will release the grace to answer prayer.
