Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. (James 4:10)
…..Before honor is humility. (Prov.15:33b)
Humility is freedom from pride and arrogance; humbleness of mind; a modest estimate of one’s own worth. In theology, humility consists in lowliness of mind; a deep sense of one’s own unworthiness in the sight of God, self-abasement, penitence for sin, and submission to the divine will.(KJV Dictionary)
Careful research has proven that the most successful people live a simple life. They are not driven by pursuit of money. Instead, like Robert Kiyosaki would say they let the money work for them and the money seeks them out.
In addition, like Myles Munroe would put it, ” they live in such a way as to mentor and leave a lasting legacy .” According to him, one should ” invest in people by uplifting others and not be afraid of others being greater than themselves . In addition ,every event is a learning opportunity.
Believers need to learn from these successful people and be humble before the Lord and other people. Like these leaders put it, if you focus on material things and honor, it is short – lived and will grow wings and fly away . But if we humble ourselves before the Lord , He will lift us up and put us in a place of honour .
