The word humility, has become a buzzword that is used , more often not, with careless abandon. This is your Man @PASTOR001 again with another wonderful multiivational tip for us, good morning everyone, be Happy to read this my aticle and be bless with it thanks.

Most people who profess to be humble in most cases, display a fragrant act of haughtiness in time of recorning, it is generally believed that the time to know the man who is humble is when he is entrusted with power or money. Humility is,, so to speak, a virtue of modesty or moderation of one s view of ones importance. This view then manifests in virtually every thing one does in inter-personal relationship with others, in one manner of conduct & communication, in ones mode of 👗 dressing or dress code, or ones way of working, etc.

Some gentle and humble type of dressing

Humility, however, is not synonymous with foolishness or playing the second fiddle, far from ir ! Humility means having the right or power to do something but refraining from doing it for the benefits of someone else.

Humility means showing compassion to people, especially, those at the lower rung of the societal leader despite one s status in society. Humility means knowing what to do or to say at a particular point in time, especially, if you are the one expected to break the tie a deadlock, and you characteristically, display an uncommon charisma with everybody going home satisfied with your sense of judgment.

Just as Christ died for man kind regards his personality as God

Humility means the ability to recognize and appreciate ones shortcomings or inadequacy or vulnerability and seek for forgiveness from a fellow man who has hurt by or from God. Humility is the admission of guilt and plea for forgiveness ( 2 chronicle 7:14). The Bible says, if my people who are called my name will humble themselves and pray, turn from their wicked ways and popose to seek my face, I will hear from heaven and I will heal them and heal their land. and in Lk 11:32 the Bible says that the people of Nenivel will rise up against this generation in judgment and condemn it for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and in did a greater than Jonah is here. If as recommended in Genesis 1:26. God created Man in his own " image" and after their likeness, , it follows that man has the attributes of God, one of the attributes of God imbbued man with is "HUMILITY" God frowns at pride or arrogance, hence he says in Proverbs 11:2. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom", A humble is a wise man, through the display of humility or meekness he grows in wisdom.

Jesus meek and gentle son of God most high

ACTIVATING THE VIRTUE OF HUMILITY

Humility is one of the fundamental attributes a Christian must possess, in short no arrogant is a born again Christian, because the virtue of humility is a mirror through which his Christian faith is seen.. for the popose of this aticle let us examine a few nuggets that can help us activate the virtue of humility as children of God.

  1. SENSE OF SACRIFICES:. Sacrifice means to take the pain of others person's in other to give him comfort, this is an act of humility, this was demonstrated by Christ by electing to die for mankind.

  2. SENSE OF SERVICE:. According to the Bible book of John (13:1-17). Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. This is a profound demonstration of humility this is an attitude that every Christian must imbibe, that is the act of rendering service to people.

  3. SENSE OF RESTRAINT:. Exhibition of a sense of restraint is an important measure of ones level of humility, a sense of HUMILITY entails being in control of ones pace or the inclination of being in control of every situation, no matter how emotionally charged, even at the highest level of provocation, he shall always look up to God ( James 12:19-20).

  4. SENSE OF GRATITUDE/ APPRECIATION:. The show of gratitude or appreciation goes a long way to improve our relationship with other people be it in the church or outside the church, it is the Hallmark of humility. Gratitude begets more acr of belevolence or kindness. God hungers to bless us so that we can not only meet our needs but so we can overflow in generosity.

  5. SENSE OF CONTENTMENT:. This is another barometer that can be used to measure the act of humility in the life of a child of God. We should be contented with what we have as not to fall prey to the sin of covetousness.

  6. SENSE OF VALUE:. We should have value in every thing God, people and our time and every other things that glorifies the name of God. Anything worth "doing" they say is worth doing well.

  7. SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY/ ACCOUNTABILITY:. Being responsible and accountable in every thing entrusted to you is one measure of humility as a child of God even asa man of God.

  8. SENSE OF PUBLIC MORALITY:. Even as children of God, we should be conscious of our behavior in public how we carry on activities in public matters allot.

  9. SENSE OF FAN:. Having the sense of fun at the appropriate time without over- indulgence encourages atmosphere of friendship and also lightens changed situations, it also demystifies formalities..

A man can attain the highest level of his calling. But what can sustain it is humility, a man without a sense of "HUMILITY" has no character. He may be in Vogue today or the talk of the Town. But if such success is not covered with the cloth of humility, his success or popularity would be likened to the candle in the wind .

This is @PASTOR001 ones again with you. I want to admonish us to eschew arrogance or haughtiness and cultivate the virtue of humility. This is the way , the only way our heavenly race shall be pleasing to the Almighty God. Thank you for reading this my aticle God bless you. But don't still forget to do the needful by 👍.
