The Power Of Humility And Preparation

We had a wonderful service today at the women of worth prayer conference, and pastor graced us with his presence. Don’t think I’m about to give a breakdown of the meeting, nope… not happening. I just want to give us words that brought about my today’s words for you, if you’ll call it that. Pastor said, “God cannot lift you beyond your level of your humility”. I looked at these words clearly, and no matter how they sound, they make sense in an unexplainable way, but I’ll try to look for my own words to explain it. Some people complain about where they are presently in life and this wonderful, unrealistic place they want God to take them to, but the question here is; how humble are you?

The response to this question is close to the reason why God hasn't taken you from point A-B. Do you know that right now, where you are is what you can handle in life, and if more is dished to you, you might not be able to handle it? God has created us, and how we are; only He knows best. We have different complains we make to God about how we've supposed to be in Guinness book of record right now, and our name is not even in the record of our entire family, but I’ll advise us of one thing today, be truthful to yourself. When you’re truthful to yourself, you’ll do your part and allow God to do His. 

You’ll know where you are and be truthful to admit to yourself, and work out a way to better yourself rather than give God the mosquito language and feel we've done it all without being rewarded by God.  If you’re two thousand naira humble, how do you expect God to bless you in two hundred thousand capacity? He needs to know what you can handle, for him to accurately bless you. A good example can be seen in a Nylon bag.

 Do you see what happens when a hot water or any hot liquid is poured into a thin nylon bag? It swelled first, before it’s now likely to either look abnormal or the water bursts free. Either ways, the shape would've been negatively altered. That’s what will happen when you want God to bless you when you’re not ready or you've not prepared yourself for what you’re asking for. This also aligns with what pastor Yemi said that you have to “Allow God to lift you”. This is saying that God needs your cooperation to bless you. You have to make yourself fit to be taken to the palace.  If you want to get promoted, you have to pass the promotion exam, and before you can pass the promotion exam, you have to read for it. This is simply saying that you have to be prepared for where you want to be, and you also have to show God that you can handle fifty naira when all you have is five naira. With these words, I believe you’re feeling you didn't miss… but I’m sorry to say… you missed… This is just a tip on the Ice-berg. Selah.
