The humility of Jesus

Bible Nugget 0220 [Phil 2: 5-8 Amplified]

5Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]  6Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained,   7But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.   8And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

The coming of Jesus into the world to save man from sin and restore him back to God was the most humble assignment ever undertaken Imagine a King who has to go rescue one of his servants held as a captive or a slave by another king of the least order.   The king going on the rescue mission humbles himself, takes the form of a servant in the captor king’s house and satisfies all monarchy and statutory requirements for the release of that servant.  Only after he paid the ultimate price of death does the captive servant realise that his master king had died to take his place because the captor king had appointed a day the captive servant would have been slain. The bible says the devil is the prince of this world and all human beings born into this world are subject to the law of sin and death administered by the devil. Only a comprehensive faith in the blood of Jesus will release you, because he came to take your place so that you do not need to be under bondage anymore. Jesus is the King of kings.   Jesus stripped himself of all the heavenly glory to come for the rescue mission of taking man back to God. Unfortunately some people do not want to take a ride with Jesus back to God in heaven.  That is the situation of the sinner until he accepts Christ. If you are already a Christian, imitate Christ in your attitude. Put on humility as your garment in dealing with others and let the beauty of Jesus be seen in you. The opposite of humility is pride and the master and chief actor of pride is Lucifer himself. He was in heaven and was driven out from heaven because of pride. The bible say’s pride precedes fall. Avoid all dealings with the enemy of your soul and be like the lowly God made man, Jesus.

 

Prayer Nugget 0220

Thank God for Jesus and ask God to remove every form of pride and fill you up with humility. Pray.

 Thank you Father for making provision for my salvation by the death of Christ on the cross.  Lord Jesus, thank you for leaving all the glories of heaven to come to the earth and humbling yourself to die on the cross for me. Holy Spirit thank you for raising Jesus from the dead so that I have hope of a better life and resurrection.  Holy Spirit help me to live a life of humility and brokenness in Jesus Name. Remove from my life any affinity of sin and break every chord tying me to sin and the devil.   Grant me the grace to be humble in all areas of my life. I bind every spirit of pride that opposes the knowledge and work of God in my life in Jesus name. Let the cross be before me and the world behind me at all times in Jesus Name. Holy Spirit, fill the heart of your children with the spirit of humility so the heart of men and women will be drawn to you. Glorify your church by raising many people in the land to serve you because Jesus has paid for the ransom of their souls. Deliver the souls of men from the spirit of death, the grave and hell by their repentance in this life in Jesus Name. Amen.

JESUS, THE PERFECT GIFT TO MANKIND

 

Bible Nugget 0106 [John 3: 16 – 21, KJV]

16For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Our God is a merciful and loving God. His desire is that everybody be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. When Adam and Eve fell in the Garden of Eden they lost fellowship with God and became alienated from God. They also became servants to a new master, the devil who put a mark of ownership on them; sin, death and eternal separation from God for the unrepentant.  God sent his Son into the world to reconcile mankind back to God.  He gave mankind the very best gift, His only begotten Son, full of the Grace of God. Rejecting the Son of God is an eternal death sentence one places on him or herself. Believing and accepting Jesus will usher you into God’s kingdom and you become a member of the family of God. Let him into your heart and darkness will have no hiding place. Why not accept Jesus today if you have not done so already. Make him the centre point of your life to which all other things revolve and enjoy the peace he gives.

 

Prayer of Faith 0106

 

Pray the following sinner’s prayer and become a member of the family of God.

 

 

Oh Lord, I come to you in the Name of Jesus. I come without any plea of my righteousness. Cleanse me from all my sins with your precious blood.  I renounce and cut off every fellowship with darkness. Let your glorious light shine on me. Thank you Father LORD for my salvation is assured by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, your only begotten Son. Thank you LORD for making me to see the glorious light of the gospel. Shine you light perpetually on me in Jesus Name.

COMPLETE IN CHRIST

Bible Nugget 0102 [Genesis 1:26; Colossians 2:9-10]

  

  9  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

 10  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

 

There is a resemblance between God and man. That resemblance, not necessarily in facial appearance, was fully expressed in the man, Christ.

Genesis 1:26 says ” And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”.

Notice that it was God who said it. It was God who planned that man should be in image.

However, Adam, the first man, sinned and fell short of God’s glory and image, through disobedience. God sent Jesus, His Son, who is part of the Godhead to restore the image of God in man.

By accepting Jesus into your heart, daily walking with him we become more like Jesus. As we fellowship with Jesus who has all the fullness of the Godhead, God will accept us  back as adopted sons bearing His image because He sees Christ in us.

 Prayer Points 0102

Pray this prayer of appreciation to God for creating you as a human being carrying a body, soul and spirit from the depth of your heart. Also thank him for sending Jesus into the world to die for your sins.

 “Lord I bless your Holy Name. I worship you in the beauty of your Holiness. I magnify you Father, Son and Holy Spirit for creating me in your image and likeness. Thank you for giving me the precious gift of your Holy Spirit. Thank you making me complete in Christ who is the fullness of the Godhead. You are my Father, I have the mind of Christ and you have given me the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. I will not allow sin to rob me of your glory in my life. I will attain unto the full measure of Christ in my life in Jesus Name. I stand in you complete and reject every accusation of the enemy in Jesus Name. I work out my salvation with Godly fear in Jesus Name. Amen.”
