On Meekness (Humility)

-
 

Ps 37 : 11
 "But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace". 

Isaiah 1:19
"If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land": 

Mat 11: 29
...for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls". 

Meekness is lowliness of heart; which is also called humility. Psalms 37:11 said the meek shall inherit the earth and have abundance of peace, Jesus also reinforces the peace aspect when he said that you will find rest if you took on his meek and lowly character. This means that meekness give you access anything to ever wanted in the earth: the meek shall inherit the earth. 

Also, Isaiah 1: 19 explains the attribute you need to have to eat the good of the land : being willing and obedient. It said if ye be willing and obedient ye shall eat the good of the land; which is much similar to inheriting the earth. So in essence, meekness means being willing AND obedient to God's words; which will in turn give to the earth's goodness as inheritance. (So, willingness + obedience = meekness = access to the good of the land). 

Inheriting the earth or eating the good of the land here connotes control, dominance,making your name heard, standing out or being influential in any area of your life and over anything you do. So, in any aspect of your life (social, business, career, marriage, workplace), humility puts you in charge. you do not need to announce yourself, because your humility announces you, your behavior wins people over and causes them to regard you. However, the cheapest way to get there is to be willing and obedient to what God says. Deuteronomy 28: 1 says that if you will listen attentively to the voice of God and be mindful enough to do what he tells you, then he will put you on high ABOVE ALL NATIONS OF THE EARTH. 

So, obedience is a vital ingredient to humility, which is what will give you whatever you desire on earth, easily. So whenever you want to get irritated, rude, frustrated, angry, proud or disobedient over an instruction or a situation, just remember that obedience with all lowliness of heart is what will pull you through and get you what you are looking for.

God bless you!

A fu ihe ka ubi... (Selling the storehouse)

  The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field...and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. -Mt 13 :44-47 "A fu ihe ka ubi eree oba" is an Igbo adage  which loosely translates to : " when one sees what is greater than the farm, he sells  the barn. This implies that when one sees something of high value and important he gives up his 'storehouse' (his entire treasury/savings) to get it....at all cost.  On the face value, this adage feels like just about any other saying, but on a close look, it has a lot deeper implication. 'Oba', which means 'barn', in the traditional Igbo context connotes one's storehouse where they stock up the volume of yams harvested (as yams was one of chief food and yardstick for measuring wealth in the ...

Proverbs 11 : 30  "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise ."  Soul-winning is simply changing someone else's bad ways, beliefs, and thought process into a godly   one, by pointing them to Christ through the word of God. Whoever that continually perform this act is considered wise.  So, soul-wining is a noble act act of wisdom, and here is why: James 5: 20 said that he which converted the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall hide multitude of sin. This means that by turning sinners from the error of their ways, you're saving lives and instrumental to protecting them from the harsh punishment of sin.  The golden rule makes provision for you to have exactly what you do to others. so, for every soul you save from death, and sin you cover, your longevity is assured and your sins are covered too; because he that watereth shall be watered (prov 11:25), and blessed is he...whose...
