WALK IN HUMILITY: Daily Devotional

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life - (John 8:12)

The Lord Jesus is our perfect example in all: He was humbleness personified. You could not follow it or imitate it and miss out on your path. He said, "... he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." You could not follow his steps and walk with pride; that's impossible.

Some say they are afraid that pride will take over them, no; not when you truly know and follow Jesus. The way in which He is followed is by the Word. Be a maker of the Word. 1 Peter 5:5 says, "You also, younger, submit to the elders. Yes, all of you, be submissive to one another, clothed in humility, for God resists pride, and grants grace to the humble."

Be subject to the Lord and His Word; it is true humility. In Philippians 2:3 (AMPC), the Spirit adjures. Do nothing on the grounds of faction [by quarreling, discord, selfishness, or for unworthy purposes] or motivated by vanity and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (the humility of the spirit) everyone consider others to be better than and superior to himself. [Think above each other that you do of yourself]. Essentially, He said, "Be humble!" Despise not your brethren in Christ, above all your rulers in the Lord; be subdued.

Pride derives from the devil. He led to his self-exaltation; and for his pride, God cast him out of his place of honor. Take a conscious decision to walk humbly. This is part of manifesting the life of Christ within you. He gets the promotion. The Bible says that God resists pride and grants more grace to the meek. This grace translates into honor, growth, expansion and progress. Hallelujah!

Is God real? : Teachings

How do you know God exists? Answer: We know that God is real because He has shown Himself to us in three ways: in creation, in His Word, and in His Son, Jesus Christ. The most fundamental proof of God's existence is just what He did. "Because since the creation of the world, the unseen qualities of God. His everlasting power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse" Romans 1:20. "The heavens speak the glory of God, the heavens speak the work of his hands." Psalm 19:1. If I found a wristwatch in the middle of a field, I would not think that it "appeared" from nowhere or that it always existed. According to the design of the watch, I assume there was a designer. But there is much more design and accurate in the world that surrounds us. Our measure of time is not based on a wristwatch, but on the work of God, the steady rotation of the earth. The universe is full of great designs...

Being content with what you have - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:11-13 As Christians, we are called to live a life of contentment. Contentment is a state of being satisfied with what we have, and not constantly desiring more or better. It is not about settling for less, but rather being grateful for what we have been blessed with, while also working towards our goals. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, shares with us the secret of being content in any and every situation. He had experienced both times of abundance and times of great need, yet he remained content. How was he able to do this? By relying on the strength that God provides. As we go through life, we will encounter man...

Are You Being Led by the Spirit?: Daily Devotional

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14 (KJV) Being led by the Spirit of God depends on knowing the voice of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person, meaning that He is a divine personality having the attributes of a person. Therefore, He speaks, sees, feels, and expresses feelings as we do (John 16:13-14). He only speaks the Word of God, so it's easy to hear his voice as you meditate on the scriptures daily. Constantly feeding on God's Word and meditating on it daily builds your heart and makes it easier for you to listen to when He speaks to you. When he speaks, you will feel it in your spirit and know that he is speaking to you; it is an experience that can be confirmed with the Word of God. Knowing how to be led by the Spirit is part of maturity, and God wants each of His children to be led by His Spirit. If you are led by the Spirit of God you will not be disappointed; You will always experience peace, joy, prosperity and vi...
