FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Humility makes you a leader from God.<\/p>\n

Matthew 26:47-56<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your title is not your task but to serve your people. As an acclaimed believer of God, be living according to the word of God. For example, as a believer of the word of God, live life with humility outside or inside of the church. As a believer of the word of God, with humility live as a server of the people you are in position to lead.
\nAs an acclaimed believer of God, do you have humility?
\nTo be a leader is to be the one that serves not to take a position as god. Jesus was mindful of the things of God and could not be a vessel of deception. God exalted Jesus and God gave Him a name that is above all names. (Philippians 2:9) Lying, deception and manipulation should not be the character of a titled leader. As a believer that is living by the word of God how do you handle your leadership role?
\nDoes your role as a leader separates you or blends you with those that you serve? Can you be identified with the people that you are leading? Your identity as a leader that serves should not only be in your attire or material but in humility. Jesus taught humility, He demonstrated humility and at the time of His arrest it was evident that He lived and ministered humility. When it was time for Judas to betray Jesus, it was through kissing. Jesus was so much identical with His disciples. Matthew 26: 48-49 \u201cNow His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, \u201cWhomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.\u201d Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, \u201cGreetings, Rabbi!\u201d and kissed Him.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>Jesus\u2019 humility extended to His appearance; He was so blend with His disciples and He could not be identified except with a kiss.
\nWhat does humility mean to you?
\nHumility can be described as a condition of being humble. One that is humble is courteously respectful; not proud or arrogant. Humility is what preserves the soul. Psalm 69:32<\/em><\/strong> buttressed, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>The humble shall see this and be glad;<\/em><\/strong> and you who seek God, your hearts shall live.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Humility is one of the keys to live life as a true believer. It takes humility for man to think of others before thinking of self. Apostle Paul bolstered, \u201cFor I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.\u201d (Romans 12:3)<\/em><\/strong> Do you constantly think of yourself more than how you think of others?
\nWithout doubt, humility is a state of mind well pleasing to God. Humility is a branch of faith and without faith God is not pleased. Be humble and live life to the glory of God.<\/p>\n
