One of the keys to living a fruitful and blessed life is maintaining a humble heart always. Humility in one sense can be viewed as a potent spiritual weapon which is also as powerful as faith, hope, love, praise, and so on.
A person who is worth a hundred million dollars but is full of pride is no better than a person who is worth five thousand dollars but full of humility. What I am trying to say here is; humility cannot be purchased, it can be actualized through continuous meditation on God's word, prayer and praise. Pride is an attribute of the enemy, and man must do all it takes to avoid it. Let me shed some light on how pride can destroy a person's destiny, even a glorious one; Imagine you have labored all the years of your life, and finally you become blessed by God, resulting in wealth. One very day, you become so self-centered and arrogant because of your riches. This act can crumble what you have labored for all your years. That is, you went from grass to grace, and then you go back from grace to grass.
A Proud fellow indirectly says that he or she does not need God's wisdom, and therefore feels the worldly wisdom he or she has is sufficient enough to carry through life. When you have God's wisdom then more than likely you will exhibit humility. However, when you engage in the wisdom of the world, you are prone to the spirit of pride and arrogance.
If you look back and think of the highly successful people in life, that is; those who have had longevity, you will notice that most of them have some form of humility in their heart. God is the One who gives wealth, riches, position, fame, stardom, and so on. Why would you be proud, He can cease any benefit from you anytime if you do not humble yourself.
God is the author of humility, and He expects us all to be humble. You may have heard or read in the Bible that God created man in His own image. This means that God did not create man to be proud. In Genesis, Adam and Eve were created to be humble but after their fall, pride set in man. However, when man receives Jesus as Lord and Savior, carries out spiritual exercises, he becomes transformed. Start to seek the spirit of humility and see how high you will soar in every area of life. Find more information in my book:
