The power of humility!

The power of humility!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Peter 5:6
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time

This verse gives two parts. Your part and God's part. Many a times, we reverse the roles by ignoring our parts and trying to do God's part. You humble yourself in the sight of God (not in the eyes of men) and God will exalt and promote you in due time.

Humility is powerful. What does it mean to humble yourself? It means to bring low or to make low. Bible humility means to bring yourself under God - bringing your thoughts, words and actions under God - to His word - with an undeniable reverence and love for God.

Humility doesn't just happen. It's a response to what you know and believe in your heart. When you know and believe that without God you are nothing and you can do nothing and that His word is first and final, you begin to humble yourself under God. When you know that He is responsible for you and loves you unconditionally, you humble yourself under Him. Humility is an attitude and as you humble yourself, God will promote and exalt you to the very summit of opulence and prosperity. This is your time. Go on with Jesus!
