WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: GRACE FOR THE HUMBLE

I often speak about the wisdom of my grandfather. He taught me a lot about being a Christian. I pray someday I can be as wise and humble as him. With experience comes wisdom. He walked through a lot of difficult things. In doing so, he learned to stay humble and lean on God.

I want to talk about the humbleness of his prayer. As a young man that was just starting to walk into his calling of preaching, he would go to the woods and spend time with God. He would pray and study the word, asking God for revelation. He understood the importance of being humble. He prayed never let me be exalted when you use me. Never let me feel less than who you made me to be, when you use someone else.

People can get caught up in things and become full of themselves when God uses them. They start to feel like they are more important than they actually are. Look at Elijah, after God used him to perform a major miracle of calling fire down from heaven, he was hiding in a cave.

I kgs 19:10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

Elijah started to think he was the only person that God could use. God made known to him quickly that there were 7000 prophets that had not bowed to Baal. God always has a remnant of people that are going to stand for him no matter what. Not because of who they are or anything they have the ability to do. But because they fully put their trust in God.

Matt 23:11-12 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

God may choose to use us and we could do mighty things under the anointing, but if we are not humble it means nothing. God can use anyone who he chooses, He even used a donkey once to speak to a prophet that was going down the wrong path.

It is not about titles so we can feel important. It is about us walking humbly. You can call yourself Bishop, Apostle, Prophet, Pastor with your chest stuck out in pride and what good will it do? We all know what happens to those who are prideful. Pride goes before the fall.

I want to remind you that the ground is level at the foot of the cross. We are all servants of the most high God who deserves all the credit for every good thing that happens. He is the one who deserves to be lifted up.

Being humble doesn’t mean that we are weak, but it is a sign of strength. It shows that we are willing to set aside our fleshly pride and yield to God’s plan. It show that we are willing to follow his leading.

We should never get caught up in what God has called us to be, but we need to just take life as it comes and handle what is in front of us. We should never try to convince people that we have been called by God for whatever task he has given us. Their opinion doesn’t matter. Only the opinion of God matters. If he has chosen us for a specific task, he knows what we are capable of handling. He placed within us all that we need to walk into and do what he has chosen us to do. This is why we must walk humbly before God, follow his leading and he will do the rest.

This world needs the light of God’s love. His word says some plants and some waters, but God gives the increase. We cannot get exalted when God allows us to be the one to see someone find Jesus. You can be sure that many others have planted and watered to make that harvest possible. It has very little to do with us and everything to do with Jesus.

James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Who couldn’t use more of God’s grace?

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
