Humility is not weakness; it is strength under control. It is the conscious decision to exalt God above self, to acknowledge His sovereignty in all things. God does not just admire humility—He responds to it. The higher you want to go in destiny, the deeper you must bow in humility.

There is an order in God’s Kingdom. He lifts the humble and resists the proud. Pride does not announce itself loudly; it often hides in subtle attitudes—an unwillingness to take correction, a sense of entitlement, or dependence on self-effort.

You cannot operate in faith and pride simultaneously. Faith submits; pride insists. Faith trusts God; pride trusts ability. If you truly want to walk in God’s glory, you must embrace the pathway of humility.

True humility also reflects in how we treat others. How do you speak to those who cannot help you? How do you serve when no one is watching? Do you honour the Lord even when it is inconvenient? Proverbs 15:33: “The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.”

Before honour comes humility. Not after. The way up is always down. Humility is not thinking less of yourself—it is thinking of yourself less. It is aligning your heart to always point toward God’s will, not your preferences.
