READ: Matthew 18:1-6

“…Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” – 1 Peter 5:5

Jesus told us who the greatest in the Kingdom is. He called a child and said, “This is the greatest in the Kingdom of God.”

If you become as humble as a child, you will be the greatest in the Kingdom. That is why the Son of God went to John the Baptist’s ministry to be baptized like everyone else. He did not ask to be treated specially.

If you choose to humble yourself, God will exalt you but if you choose to exalt yourself, then He will bring you down. You have to choose. When the Lord called me into the Ministry, my father said to me, “I cannot stand the fact that my son will live from the offerings of people. It is below you.”

However, the Lord told me to enter into ministry and to humble myself. I also struggled with this because I reasoned with God, that I was a doctor. I argued that I did not need the coins and little contributions of people to take care of myself. The Lord said to me, “You are nothing, you are nobody.”

That is true. We are what we are by the grace of God. Jesus became anointed because He humbled Himself. Stop trying to be some unique person. Just become nothing. When you humble yourself, God will pour His grace on you.

If we do not humble ourselves, we cannot learn and receive from the people that God sends to us. We will just look on and analyze them. Many of us are outside the grace of God because we cannot receive from the people that God has placed in our lives.
