The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. (Matthew 23:11, 12 NLT)
Excerpt of devotion:
... The greatest act of humility in the history of the universe was when Jesus Christ stooped to die on the cross of calvary. Before any man can get to heaven, he must kneel at the foot of the cross and acknowledge that he is a sinner, that he has broken the Ten Commandments of God, and that he needs the grace of God in Christ.
I asked God, if I have a lot of pride. I am sure I have pride la (everyone will have) but I asked God, if I have so much that it's harmful.
As i pray, I realize (as God revealed to me) that Clearly, my lack of discipline in having a regular QT already shows the presence of pride i.e. I don't need God, I can handle my life on my own pretty well, hence the lack of desire to commit time to spend time with God! I don't see the urgency in doing QT cos I got 'better' things to do!
Pride can really mask itself under different names. It has successfully stopped me from doing regular QT and tithing properly. I have to come before God daily, acknowledge I'm a sinner and continually give thanks and obey Him!
It's the second day of my QT and God has given me another rhema word! I'm really quite impressed at how this is going!
