DAILY PRAYER NUGGET-DECEMBER:16:2017

NUGGET: HUMILITY
JAMES 4:6,10; But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

We do not serve God with pride but humility,that's the best way to serve God. God draws nigh to those who are of a lowly heart, who are humble before him. Humility is what makes us look up to God as a father and he looks upon us as children. God is a shield over you, walking in the path of humility puts you under his coverage. When you serve God with humility, that is when the word of his mouth can flow into your ears, bringing light and fruitfulness to your heart. Humble yourself and the Lord will draw high thee and his presence shall cheer thee. Humility in the law of the kingdom brings uplifting. Humility is the bowing of your heart, in a place where your heart is not lifted in pride above your maker,which in time become evident in your action. Bring yourself before God, so he can speak to you the word for the next level.
O Lord please take away the spirit of pride from me and ignite your fire in me. Father I bow my heart in worship to you. I receive grace in the place of humility. By the power of God my heart shall never be lifted against the will of God. Help my life Lord to bear fruits of increase. Father let me encounter the unusual. A heart like yours Lord I desire. I pray that nothing shall take mevaway from your presence in Jesus name, amen !

TODAY'S TIP: HUMILITY BEFORE GOD BRINGS YOU INTO THE DAWN OF HIS PRESENCE.

STATUS PRESSURE

Status and title go hand in hand because every new status comes with a given title that put you under unnecessary pressure compelling you to act and meet up to standard. Do not at anytime let yourself get carried away or be overwhelmed with attaining certain position. Control your status with the right attitude, do not let your status control you.
Status without character is a mess. Status without relevance and positive impact is just another selfish achievement. Don't be so pressured with status that all you think about is living for self and the display of how much your status is worth rather let it be about the best way to influence and impact. Look out for what you can do to help the next person beside you, become a savor in that environment and community you find yourself. Invest in your future and in others as well leaving your foot print in the sands of time.
Never get to that point where you feel everyone is beneath you, remember you started from somewhere. Don't let your status put you under wrong pressure to leaving a wrong impression. You are who you are by the grace of God. Your status is just a title, it will not take you to heaven. So no matter how high the heights you attain let your attitude speak humility, your thoughts and action be to love and being a blessing that in the end you are free of every pressure to show off status pride.

HUMAN'S PRAISES AND GOD'S VALIDATION

INSPIRATION TODAY
There are many things we do that we get peoples appraisal but not God's validation.Don't get carried away when people praise you and tell you it's okay to do this or that without first first asking God or getting his validation about it.Too many this days get carried away doing the wrong things just because they get human praises while they are on about it.sometimes there are things so many do that deep inside, their conscience tells them it's wrong and even makes them uncomfortable in their spirit but because most times their focus seems to be shifted from  seeking God first to getting the praises of men they turn a deaf ear.Have you stopped to ask yourself do i have God's validation or approval as you go on in your daily activities ? Have you asked yourself these people i feel so comfortable with their appraisal is their way right with God(do this without judging anyone ,focus on the goal )? I tell you if God's frowns at it humans approval is zero .There is a way that seem right to you but the end thereof isn't God's desire for you.What's your priority is it God's approval or man praises ? Whatever you do should be to the glory of God.If there is anyone you should fear his judgement that should be your creator ,the giver of your life.
You can get peoples praises or approval based on favouritism ,emotions,benefits,out of gratitude and this can really be misleading but know this that God's approval or validation isn't based on any of this ,it is unconditional ,righteous, true ,just. He does everything for us having our best interest at heart because his thought for us is of good and not of evil to give us a hope and a future .Don't get swayed with peoples praise because with it the wrongs automatically feels right to you.please don't get comfortable with those things just because people say yes to it,God's validation is what puts you on the right track.When God says Yes or no or wait for a while trust his word because he is working everything out for your good and his love towards us is unconditional .so before you think to put the praises of people above his validation remember his unconditional love that made you who you are today .seek him first and all other things shall be added to you !
