“…I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God…” – Isaiah 14:13

When you are humble like a servant, you honour the master God has placed over you. When you lose this humility you do not acknowledge your master any more. Giving honour is the duty of a servant. People who have lost the humility of Christ find it difficult to honour anyone. If you have the humility of Christ, you will practice the art of honouring those to whom honour is due. So let’s ask ourselves, to whom is honour due? Who does the Bible say we should honour?

These things reveal a subtle pride that has crept into the ministry
