Humility is bring yourself down in your own eyes:
1 Peter 5:6
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
God favours the humble. Humble yourself before God:
James 4:5-7
Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain,
“The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Humber yourself as a little child:
Matthew 18:4
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Humbling yourself ► exalted:
Matthew 23:12
And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
He lifts you up when you humble yourself (repenting):
James 4:10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Jesus did not treat sinners like dirt. Christians can sometimes be the most proud:
1 Peter 5:6
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
BUT HOW?:
The more you know the Word, the MORE Jesus you have in you:
John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.
To remain humble:
1) Be Thankful
2) Be a Servant
3) Be a Giver
BY SERVING:
Put on an apron of humility:
1 Peter 5:5
Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to
one another, and be clothed with humility, for
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
It’s an attitude. Jesus washed the feet…showed us we are servants. We need to solve problems
to help others:
Luke 22:21-27
Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.
And He said to them,
“The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over
them are called ‘benefactors.’ But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among
you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who
sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the
One who serves.
John 13:13-17
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have
washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example,
that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater
than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things,
blessed are you if you do them.
Nobleness ► being humble to those below us.
Sometimes when we start doing the right thing, the devil comes in and tries to make you prideful,
‘Look at me!’
We should just be the channel from God to the person. When we bless/lift someone else up,
we are just a delivery person.
