Humility- A Kingdom Principle

When we hear of the word 'humility' what comes to mind? For many, they believe that humility means; silence, quietness, being gentle and reserved or not outspoken.  From observation, that is what I have come to realize that some people believe humility is.  I am so sorry to burst your bubble so quickly but, such is FAR from the truth.

As a teenage christian, I grappled with the thought that, one has to reflect a certain personality and or wear a particular persona to be considered humble.  It has been observed, that persons who were very outspoken, very confident and is well-rounded would be classified by many as not being humble.

Let's look at HUMILITY God's way  

It was in 2013 that the Lord gave me an understanding of how He looks at humility and I have held on to such ever since.

• True humility is NOT denying the fact of who you are and what God has called you to do but it has to do with accepting it and at the same time NOT pretending as if you don't know.
• Not becoming too proud and boastful is true humility while recognizing who you are.
• Humility God's way says, Yes! I know who I am but, I am not going to get too comfortable thinking, 'I am all that' or getting too self-centered and thereby, miss what God is doing in the process.
• Admitting who you are or what God has called you to do is NOT a problem because when you do so, you emphasize Kingdom authority (The authority that God has given you through the power of the Holy Ghost).
• True humility does NOT allow you to hide under the covers, but rather takes the covers off you and helps you to release what is inside of you.
• Humility God's way helps you to step into ANY realm and also helps you to get rid of pride.

Are you struggling to demonstrate humility? Let's do it "God's Way!"

Let me say to you today that, humility is a key principle in walking and manifesting the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives as believers.  Humility is the key that allows us access into different realms of power and glory and allows us to function in the school of revelation and manifestation.

The word of God reminds us in 1 Peter 5:6, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time."  Such is a reminder to us that a precursor for  exaltation (advancement, elevation, upgrading, promotion) is and has always been HUMILITY.

It never pays for a child of God to be a braggart!  The character of God is one of humility and so should His children's character be as well.  If we want to be used by God in all His fullness and power, we must cultivate humility.  Psalm 138:6 tell us, "Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off."

Your humility will change the very atmosphere over your life.  Humility says, " I am well able with God."

Living a life of humility is key in Kingdom living.

Proverbs 18:12 reminds us, "A man’s heart is the proudest when his downfall is nearest,

for he won’t see glory until the Lord sees humility." (Passion Translation)

Every blessings now, Shalom!
