HOW HUMILITY CONQUERS COVID: PART 1 OF THE WAY FORWARD PODCAST SERIES
THE WAY FORWARD
COVID has the world grappling with uncertainty on unprecedented levels right now. Many of us have been hunkering down for months, looking for any discernible sign of the way forward; however, while the world is rushing around looking for a cure, as we should be, God is looking at the hearts of His people. What do you suppose He’s finding?
I’ve shared this several times, but on the 27th of March this year, I woke early in the morning to a loud voice in my spirit that said, “Humility is the way forward.” Though I know many of you reading this have grown weary in this treacherous season of uncertainty and trial, I want to remind you that GOD IS IN CHARGE! He’s guiding us through, but my question to you is: will you humble yourself and follow His lead? With that being said, there are four things we must understand about humility as we proceed forward with God:
- Humility towards God must be demonstrated in relationship with people. If there was ever a time that those around us need to experience humility in our approach with them, it’s now. It’s funny how many of us are quick to say we are humble, but do the people around you have that experience of you? I encourage you in this season to be humble in your speech with one another, and when you share your opinions or offer advice. Your humility with God needs to be expressed and experienced by those around you, especially in the trials of life.
- Great grace is only reserved for the humble (James 4:6). Grace is undeserved favor but it is also the operational power of God. It is, in fact, what gives His people the ability to traverse through trials unscathed. God’s grace empowers us to do what we couldn’t do one second before we received it. However, when we humble ourselves and follow His lead, we can strategically see His moves around any and all obstacles that stand in our way.
- God opposes the proud, but pride is also self-defeating. Pride is like erosive rust on the heart of man; it will ultimately destroy you. Sometimes we are so self-focused on conquering, defeating, and winning that we lose sight of the truth that you’re not the hero, God is. God is looking for servant-hearted leaders who know how to follow His lead when it counts.
- God wants to exalt his children and His reward for humility is promotion. Contrary to popular opinion, God’s ultimate goal for us is that we would be glorious, but when we humble ourselves to His thoughts and ways, God promotes us. Though we are in a seemingly chaotic season, God’s people are on the precipice of incredible promotion.
Don’t you see? What the enemy has meant for evil in our lives, God is using for good! As God’s people humble themselves and seek His face, I believe we will arise with clear vision and move past the confusion of this season. It was in the early morning hours recently, that I felt strongly in my spirit to curate a prophetic series that would release radical faith over you and dispel any fears that may be gripping your heart amid these challenging times. Below you will find a handpicked collection of podcasts that will empower you to walk in powerful humility and see clearly through the chaos. I’m calling it The Way Forward Podcast Series. I pray it blesses you.
