THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past.

HUMILITY

HUMILITY

Scripture Reading: James 4:1-10
Devotional:- Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. (V. 10) NKJV


    A person with a proud hearted cannot praise the Lord. Pride will not allow anyone to be qualify before the Lord. Pride is a function of overestimation of self, above the actual level of grace (Romans 12:3). A proud man will see praises as childish affairs and feel he cannot condescend so low to be jumping like a monkey in church in the name of praise (2 Samuel 6:20-23).

People become proud because they are not strong enough to manage their level and the level is controlling them. People become proud because they refuse to work over their unrealistic ego, so the ego will keep tormenting them in defeat and failure. Others become proud because they want to proof they are somebody, so they have to pretend to be who they are not (Proverbs 13:7).

Friend, God's word says “lifting comes by humility” (1 Peter 5:6). It will therefore be wrong to hinder your way to progress. God is not our classmates, so we have to praise Him as our creator, Lord, owner of our soul, the bridegroom of the bride, our saviour and our redeemer. See, your title does not open the door of His presence for you. Rather, it is your humility that will give you grace to access Him (James 4:6-7). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart for my lifting.
