HUMBLE PEOPLE PRAY

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Our opening Scripture clearly states that if God’s people who are called by His name will humble themselves and pray. Humble people pray. Prayerful people are humble people.

Proud people don’t pray because they think that they don’t have to. They fail to realize how much they need God. However, Jesus said that without Him we can do nothing.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

John 15:5

I submit to you that the first sign of humility is prayer. When you humble yourself before God in prayer, in due season, He will exalt you. When you humble yourself before God in prayer, you will also humble yourself before others.

Likewise you younger people, submit to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

1 Peter 5:5-6

Humility is one of the highest laws in the kingdom of God. God gives grace and wisdom to humble people. Promotion doesn’t come from the east or the west but from above. Promotion, exaltation and honor come to humble people.

Things work differently in the kingdom of God than in the world. The least and the servant of all is the greatest. The lowly and the humble will be honored.  Truly the way up is the way down.

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

James 4:10

Thought of the day: Humble people pray.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for teaching me humility, thank You for the privilege of prayer that You have given me, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

BLESS YOURSELF IN THE LORD

So that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from My eyes. Isaiah 65:16 God is the blesser and possesser of the heaven and the earth. If you want to be blessed bless yourself in the Lord. That means for you to actually walk in the blessing you have to spend time with God. You have to make spending time with God a priority. Everything you need is in God and for you to access it you have to spend time with Him. You have to pursue God. The Bible says that from His fullness we have received grace upon grace. You spend time with God you get grace, you spend more time with God you get more grace. You spend time with God every day. You get more grace every day. And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. John 1:16 As you spend time with God you get blessings upon blessings, as you spend tim...

BE LED BY THE SPIRIT

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14 We are no longer under the law but under grace, and we are in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. We should yield to the Holy Spirit and be led by the Spirit. When you are born again, you can hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow His leading. You just need to know how to be sensitive to His voice. You become sensitive to His voice by praying in the Spirit and meditating on the Word. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know ...

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong ...
