“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble…”
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up…”
~GOD’s~ picture of a leader is one who is humble in his thoughts about himself, but is exalted in his thoughts about ~JESUS~. The world teaches us that we are to stand our ground, be our own person, to stand tall, and that we are king. In ~GOD’s~ Kingdom, we come to know who ~JESUS~ really is through His life—changing power, and through this process, we realize we can accomplish nothing except by the Spirit of ~GOD~ moving through us…
The first step to a higher calling in ~GOD~ is when we come to the end of ourselves. The way to ~GOD~ is always down on our knees with our heart turned towards Him. ~GOD~ never lifts us up until we have found ourselves cast down before Him. Our egos must go, and self must be destroyed in order for ~GOD~ to lift us up for His service and calling. ~GOD~ is not interested in our flesh, but He is interested in our spirit person being totally dedicated to Him, which will bring the natural person into subjection to the things of ~GOD~. In the world’s eyes, we may be at our lowest position, but this is when ~GOD~ lifts us up. When we reach the place where our desire is to do ~GOD’s~ will, and we take no pride in what we do, but much pride in what ~GOD~ does, and we give Him All the Glory for our accomplishments, then this is when we become world—changers, answering the call of humility…
May ~GOD~ allow us to Die to ourselves and be Resurrected in Him…
