From Pride To Humility

April 7, 2019 • Pastor Wes Richards

When God brings a new level of humility, everything changes. When you move from pride to humility in your life, marriage, and family, you will see great blessing. When churches are marked by humility not pride, we will help to create the conditions for great spiritual revival and reformation in society.

Further Scripture:
Proverbs 6:17, Luke 1:52, 2 Chronicles 26:16, Daniel 4:29-32, 2 Chronicles 7:14, James 4:6

Apply The Word:
Does pride have a root in any part of your life, home, or family? Do you turn a blind eye to the issues that need addressing or do you humbly bring them to God? We need to honestly acknowledge the issues in our lives in order to deal with them. Take stock of your spiritual, emotional, and mental state and address any unforgiveness, bitterness, wounds, pride, religious/nationalistic/intellectual/logical strongholds. Now make note of how to get healed; how you will take each of the issues on your list to God in prayer, and where a leader can help you to overcome things which you have not been able to conquer alone.

When God brings direction, correction, or instruction, are you quick to follow or quick to argue? Let us not wait for God to humble us but let us humble ourselves before God. Recognise where you have been proud and repent of that pride. Say sorry to God. Say sorry to others. It’s time to bow down with a soft and teachable heart. It’s time to receive new grace and favour from God. Allow Him to minister to you today.
