The Mind of Christ

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4:10

Bible Reading: Philippians 2:5-11

Humility is among the fruit of the spirit. God honours some virtues in a person’s life including humility. For instance, He gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. When God sees that someone is humble, He clothes such a person with divine honour that enlarges his capacity and blesses beyond words. Jesus Christ, our example deliberately gave up His heavenly glory and embodied humanity for the salvation of mankind.

There is no one that is humble that regrets it in the long run because being humble simply means one is taking one of the attributes of the Triune God. In God’s humility, He resides both in and with us for whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting. Although being humble may require that we give up some privileges, discipline ourselves, and continually practice self-control, it pays in the long run. Many times, people might even see us as fools just like someone questioned who will give up such heavenly glory to die for another person. What Jesus did is beyond any human comprehension. Hence our need to believe in His redemption. Jesus Christ is our ultimate example.

Humility is not necessarily a strong suit of human nature. Hence the need to continually look unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith. Did you know that Jesus understood the limitation of the human flesh? He has a strategy. Jesus was in constant fellowship with the Father. He communed with the Father which put everything into the right perspective and strengthened Jesus to be who He was meant to be while He was on earth. Dear friends, let humility speaks in your attitude, mindset, understanding and every area of your life so that You may receive grace and lift from God.
