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!

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a central figure in Christian theology and is considered the third person of the Trinity alongside the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is believed to be the source of divine power and guidance, and is associated with a number of teachings in the Bible and Christian theology. Here is an outline of some of the main teachings related to the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is a person: Although the Holy Spirit is often referred to as an "it," Christian theology teaches that the Holy Spirit is a personal being with its own consciousness, will, and emotions. The Holy Spirit is God: Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God, just like the Father and the Son. This belief is based on passages in the Bible that refer to the Holy Spirit as divine, such as Acts 5:3-4, where Ananias lies to the Holy Spirit and is said to have lied to God. The Holy Spirit is the giver of life: The Holy Spirit is associated with the creation of the world and the ongoing...

His Plans Are Good - Daily Devotional

Verse: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Devotional: Today, let us take comfort in the assurance that our heavenly Father has plans for us, plans that are filled with goodness and hope. It's easy to become anxious or uncertain about the future, but God's Word reminds us that His intentions for our lives are nothing short of remarkable. In Jeremiah 29:11, we discover a promise that speaks directly to our hearts. God is not a distant observer of our lives; He is intimately involved, and His plans for us are purposeful. Even when circumstances appear challenging, we can trust that God's intentions are for our ultimate well-being. In times of uncertainty, we often question what the future holds. However, God invites us to place our trust in Him, the One who knows the end from the beginning. As we do so, we can find peace in the know...

Victory Through Christ - Daily Devotional

Verse: "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NIV) Devotional: In our journey as Christians, we often encounter trials, struggles, and moments when the challenges of life seem insurmountable.

This verse is a source of immense encouragement and inspiration for every believer. As we navigate life's battles, we must anchor our faith in Christ. He is our ultimate source of strength and the key to our victory. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin, death, and the powers of darkness. He offers us forgiveness, redemption, and the promise of eternal life. Victory through Chris...
