TOPIC: Humility – A Pathway To Receiving From God (Seeds Of Destiny 26 December 2024)
SCRIPTURE: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. – Isaiah 57:15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To receive anything from God, we must maintain the attitude of helplessness and humility.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2024 MESSAGE:
Pride is a major manifestation of the flesh. It is a hindrance to answered prayer. Pride hinders our ability to receive anything from God.
Beloved, to receive anything from God, you must maintain an attitude of helplessness and humility. God will never look in the direction of the proud.
Isaiah 66:2b says,
…but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”
To approach God with pride is to confront a closed door at the place of prayer.
There are various forms of pride in our world today. Some people are proud of their spirituality, while others are even proud of their humility. You hear them talking about their humility so obsessively that they become proud of being humble. This is a contradiction; it is false humility.
God will always look in the direction of the one who is humble and has a contrite heart. God looks away from proud people, people who raise their shoulders in pride. God turns away from those who believe they have arrived. He looks away from those who look down on other people.
So, pride is a hindrance to a successful prayer life.
You must be free from every form of sin and iniquity to gain access to God at the place of prayer.
You may not smoke, drink, or commit immorality, but when God looks at you, He turns away because there is something in you that reminds Him of Lucifer, the father of pride.
Many people pray to God, “O Lord, I need a life partner. I need a job, anointing, car, money,” but when God wants to grant their requests, He realizes that the blessings He gave them before made them too proud; their heads have become bigger than their bodies. They no longer reverence God, and of course, God does not answer people who share His glory.
Refuse to be such a person.
Remember this: To receive anything from God, we must maintain the attitude of helplessness and humility.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Do not allow pride to rob you of your inheritance in God.
- Always maintain the attitude of humility and helplessness before God.
PRAYER: Father, I ask that You rid my life of pride and arrogance. I receive the garment of humility and selflessness, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: To reach your destiny, you must remember your history. You must remember where you came from, because, the humility you need to sustain your authority, is connected to your memory of history. Culled from the book, “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Revelations 5-7.
AMAZING FACT: Lions are territorial animals, often fighting to protect their space from rival prides.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): Every spell of pride in your life be broken in this season in Jesus’ Name.
