    Humility

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 29, 2000
    based on 105 ratings
     | 18,113 views

    Humility is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most significant element of walking in divine favor. It is directly opposed to pride. Where pride seeks selfish gain, humility seeks selfless gain. True humility is to esteem another more greatly than yourself.

    To humble oneself before God in repentance is mandatory for all Christians.The sin of pride is at the root of all evil. Self-exaltation and rebellion is what caused satan to be "cut down to the ground." At one time, satan was called Lucifer, which means "son of the morning." He ...read more

    When we walk in our own understanding, without the leading of the Spirit, we are walking in a fog. We must allow the Day Star to arise within our hearts.

It was about 6 AM and those of you who are up and about at that time of the morning will know that it is still dark outside.

    Galatians 6:11-18 NLT 11 Notice what large letters I use as I write these closing words in my own handwriting. 12 Those who are trying to force you to be circumcised are doing it for just one reason.
