PROMOTION BY SUBMISSION

TOPIC: PROMOTION BY SUBMISSION

TEXT: Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time (1 Peter 5:6).

Biblical humily can be defined as submission and deference to God’s will in all things. Meaning you accept whom God says you are and you are ready to follow His will regardless of the circumstances. And the lower you are willing to bow to God’s will the higher He takes you in life.
On the other hand the world teaches you to scramble as hard as you can to make it to the top. Of course, there is nothing wrong with hard work, but our goals should never be to try and gain a big name for ourselves so we can enjoy the praise of man. God does exalt people, but His way of doing so does not come through our own human efforts; it comes because we choose humility. I remember years ago when we were first starting in the ministry, someone gave us a prophecy that said, “I am seeing how low you are willing to bow to see how high I might raise you, says the Lord!” Well, that wasn’t the most exciting word we ever received, and we wondered just what kind of bowing down the Lord was really expecting! Well, in the years to follow, we definitely experienced our fair share of humble pie. But I look back on all those years and realize that I couldn’t stand in ministry today without those humbling experiences.

You see, God has a place of honor for you today. It may not look like that of anyone else, but He has a plan to exalt you nevertheless. Your choices to humble yourself will pay off eventually, and God will exalt you for His purposes in due time!
