June 14, 2019 UCB Word For Today Devotional : Topic - True humility

- , , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

True humility

14 JUNE 2019
‘[He] gives grace to the humble.’
1 Peter 5:5 NIV
There are two kinds of humility mentioned in Scripture: 
1) False humility. Paul writes, ‘Do not let anyone who delights in false humility…disqualify you’ (Colossians 2:18 NIV 2011 Edition). Whether it’s in your manner of dress, your speech, or your behaviour, anything that draws attention to you and away from Christ is displeasing to God. 

2) True humility. Truly humble people don’t take offence easily or fight back; they turn the other cheek. And yet their humility is not cowardice, for true humility requires courage. It makes you willing to take a lower place than you deserve, to keep quiet about your merits, and to bear slights, insults, and false accusations for the sake of a higher purpose. True humility doesn’t make you think less of yourself, it just makes you think of yourself less. 
Peter addresses the subject in these words: ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honour’ (1 Peter 5:5-6 NLT). The story’s told of a guy who entered a contest to see who was the most humble.
 When he won, he was given a badge of merit – but then he wore it and was disqualified! Seriously, pride disqualifies you from enjoying the favour of God. That’s why you need to remind yourself regularly: ‘Everything I am, I owe to God; everything I have, came from God. To Him be all the glory.’
1 Chronicles 13-15, Acts 16:22-40
