WALKING IN HUMILITY: A GREAT BLESSING

WALKING IN HUMILITY: A GREAT 

BLESSING

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 

(1 Peter 5:5). 

Until  and  unless  you’re  submissive  to  the 

Lord  and  His  Word,  you  really  can’t  walk 

with the Spirit of God. True humility is yielding to the 

will of the Father; acting on the Word, regardless and 

independent of circumstances. It’s about honouring, 

regarding,  and  giving  preference  to  others,  because 

the Word says so. 

In  Philippians  2:3  (AMPC),  the  Spirit  adjures, 

“Do  nothing  from  factional  motives  [through 

contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy 

ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. 

Instead,  in  the  true  spirit  of  humility  (lowliness  of 

mind) let each regard the others as better than and 

superior  to  himself  [thinking  more  highly  of  one 

another than you do of yourselves].”  Don’t carry your 

shoulders so high against your brothers and sisters in 

Christ, especially your leaders in the Lord; be humble. 

Be submissive. 

Pride and unsubmissiveness are signs of demonic presence. 

Satan wasn’t submissive to God; he was a 

proud figure, and for his haughtiness, God kicked him 

out of his place of honour. You must make up your 

mind to walk in humility. It’s part of the manifestation 

of the life of Christ in you. 

Hebrews 13:17 says, “Obey them that have the 

rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch 

for your souls, as they that must give account, that 

they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is 

unprofitable for you.”  You can talk in tongues; you 

can prophesy; but if you’re not submissive and humble, 

it’s all in vain. 

Walking in humility is a great blessing. Use it for 

your life, to guide yourself, and you’ll be amazed at the 

blessings that would result. Humility brings promotion. 

The Bible says God resists the proud and gives more 

grace  to  the  humble;  resulting  in  honour,  increase, 

enlargement, and progress. 

PRAYER

Blessed  Father,  you’re  so  gracious  and  kind.  I 

receive your Word today into my spirit, and relate 

with  everyone  in  meekness  and  humility  of  heart, 

expressing  the  love  of  Christ,  in  Jesus’  Name. 

Amen.
