"Wow, what a powerful and thought-provoking post! 🙌 I loved how you broke down the importance of humility and submitting to authority in our lives as believers. The scriptures you shared were so timely and relevant! 👏 It's amazing how pride can manifest in different ways, but ultimately leads to downfall if not addressed.

I couldn't agree more with your message about not quitting when faced with adversity or anger from a boss or leader. A quiet spirit and humility can truly overcome even great mistakes! 🙏

Your steps to salvation at the end were also incredibly clear and concise. It's so important for us to share this good news with others and invite them to take the step of faith in Jesus Christ. 💖

Thanks for sharing your wisdom and heart with us today! I'd love to hear from you - what are some practical ways we can cultivate humility and respect for authority in our daily lives? Let's keep the conversation going and support each other on this journey! 🤗

    I want to appreciate you for your comment. The little addition to it and other practical ways to cultivate humility are shared here:

    • The abiding presence of God is with those whom He reveals Himself to.

    • God is many sided, variegated in wisdom and knowledge (Ephesians 3:10), Thus, one can only understand or see that aspect of Him which He chooses to reveal to him or her (Psalm 103:7).
    • The level of a believer's understanding of God shows his or her depth in Him. The more humble you are; in acknowledging God, and ascribing of the glory of whatever result you had or the impact you made, in your assignment or the work of ministry, the deeper you are in the understanding of Him (Psalm 25:14).
    • The key to that is humility, and humility in God's sight is acknowledgements and praises, or worship, or ascribing the glory of your achievement to Him (Psalm 25:9; 37:11).
    • Note: Acknowledgement simply means an expression of thanks or appreciation.

    • Humility also means submissiveness, wanting to do God's Will, His bidding, without questioning Him—without rebelling.

    • Someone who is wise in his or her own eyes would find it difficult to know much of God: "DO NOT BE WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES; FEAR THE LORD AND DEPART FROM EVIL" (Proverbs 3:7 NKJV).
      READ: Proverbs 9:9; 14:14
    • Being wise in your own eyes is an element of pride in the sight of God; and someone, or a believer, with such a mindset could only know little or nothing about Him:
      19 FOR it is written: “I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, And BRING TO NOTHING the UNDERSTANDING of the PRUDENT.” 20 WHERE is the WISE? WHERE is the SCRIBE? WHERE is the DISPUTER OF THIS AGE? HAS NOT GOD MADE FOOLISH THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD?" (1 Corinthians 1:19,20 NKJV).
      READ: Proverbs 3:7

    • Humble yourself, and be willing to accept and embrace His counsel on every matter.

    • When you humble yourself before God, and Acknowledge Him, He will take you to a greater height you could ever imagine in your walk with Him:
      5 TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, And LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING; 6 IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM,
      And HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS [make your path smooth or straight]" (Proverbs 3:5,6 NKJV).

    • In conclusion

    • A believer should humble himself or herself and Acknowledge God as the revealer of the truth. Let the glory of whatever you know, and the impact, or result of it in the life of the people, be ascribed to God (James 4:10).
    • The Bible, the Word of God, is coded, without the revelation of the Holy Spirit, you might not understand it. Thus, the humility being referred to here is about acknowledging God, and ascribing the glory, and the honour of whatever you know and the impact of it in the lives of others; to God the Father.
    • Enlightenment or the opening of the eyes of a believer's understanding is done by the Holy Spirit, and that is through praying (Ephesians 1:17,18).
    • When you read and study the Word of God, with the help of the Holy Spirit, your understanding would be open to see, know, and receive the truth that God wants you to know (John 8:32).
