Exalted By Humility
Exalted By Humility
Exalted By Humility
This is the month of Supernatural Elevation.
The focus word for today is ‘Exalted By Humility’.
The focus verse for today is Matthew 18:4 says, ‘Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.’
The declaration for today is ‘Humility is the path to greatness. I rise because I bow before the Lord.’
In God’s Kingdom, The Way Up Is Down
The way up the stairs is by walking from down to up. And that is the worldly principle, the only way to go up, is to climb up from down. However, that is not the way in the kingdom of heaven.
The disciples asked Jesus, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’. Jesus called a child from among them, and he said the greatest in the kingdom of heaven is one that has faith and humbles themselves like a child. The world expects us to promote ourselves, prove ourselves and do things that will elevate the self. But God says, humble yourselves.
Luke 14:11 says, ‘ For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”’
Proverbs 18:12 says, ‘Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.’
Matthew 23:12 says, ‘For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.’
Kingdom elevation follows kingdom humility. Take for instance a bow and arrow. When a person bends the bow and pulls the arrow back, the bow curves and loses its original shape. This is how humbled we must be in our lives in order to experience true elevation. Sometimes what feels like bending is preparation for elevation. In that period of waiting, humble yourselves before God. Spend time in prayer and worship, bend your knee and pray and submit your lives to the Almighty.
Humility Is Not Thinking Less Of Yourself
Biblical humility is not an inferiority complex. Humility is not thinking less of ourselves. A child in Jesus' illustration had little social status, but he placed the child in the centre. Biblical humility means not having the need to prove ourselves before others. We are secure in our relationship with God and are fully aware of where we stand with God.
Romans 12:3 says, ‘For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.’
Philippians 2:3 says, ‘Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,’
Numbers 12:3 says, ‘ Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.’
Moses held the highest position among Israelites, however, despite this, he was called the most humble man on Earth.
Humility is not denial of value but it's refusing to exaggerate your importance. Wherever God has placed, it has its own position and value and we should stop ourselves from comparisons.
Humility Makes Us Teachable
A humble spirit makes us teachable, it makes us absorb advice, it makes us listen and better ourselves. Many people in this world are not teachable. Children naturally ask questions, which means they are teachable, they want to know more, they want to learn. But as they grow up they start asking less questions, they start believing that they know everything. They become less teachable. Children are willing to learn because they know that they do not know everything.
One of the greatest signs of humility is teachability. The moment we think nobody can tell us anything, growth begins to stop.
Proverbs 11:2 says, ‘When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.’
Proverbs 19:20 says, ‘Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.’
Psalms 25:9 says, ‘He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.’
The humble keeps learning, therefore the humble keeps growing.
When a phone does not have the latest update and if it is not constantly updated, then after some time it becomes obsolete and outdated. Often the data gets scattered and becomes unusable. A person who refuses correction eventually stops developing. My advice is: stay teachable, stay humble.
God Can Safely Elevate The Humble
Elevation is dangerous when a character cannot carry it. Sometimes when people experience success and they grow, pride seeps into their character. For such people, God holds us back until he can be sure that we will not be boastful.
King Saul became insecure when people praised David. When this happened jealousy seeped in, anger followed. John the Baptist's ministry started before Jesus’. During this time soon after John the Baptist’s ministry, Jesus’ ministry took over. Instead of being jealous, John the Baptist said ‘He must become greater and I must become less’. John the Baptist knew that his purpose was to show the way to Jesus. He was the waymaker and Jesus was the way.
John 3:30 says, ‘“He must become greater; I must become less.”’
Isaiah 57:15 says, ‘For this is what the high and exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.’
1 Peter 5:6 says, ‘Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.’
