How can you cultivate the lifestyle of humility?
- Always crave for fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit because Holy Spirit is the spirit of Grace, spirit of humility himself. The more you are filled with the Holy Spirit, the more you will humble yourself. If you are not thirst for it, it won’t come. (Zechariah 12:10, 1Peter 3:4).
- Continual looking unto Jesus. If you want to remain humble, look unto Jesus and not your father or your mother or your pastor. (Heb 12:2). The more you look at Jesus, the more you be like him because you will become whatever you behold. Jesus is the epitome of humility, so, behold him. What are you beholding?
- Always acknowledge and be mindful of your helplessness and hopelessness without God. Acknowledge that you are helpless and hopeless without God. Know that you always need Him.(Psalms 46:1).
- Remember that God resist the proud. Don’t allow pride in your life, embrace the virtue of humility. (1Peter 5:4,6). Humble yourself in the hands of God that God will exalt you.
- Walk with the humble people and not with the arrogant people. Choose to walk with the humble people because spirit can be transferred. Don’t be emotional in choosing your place of worship, choose where the Spirit of God is abiding. (Proverbs 13:20).
- Don’t surround yourself with sycophants. Sycophants are people that will tell you what you want to hear because of what they want from you. They will never correct you when you make mistake. Always submit yourself to people that can correct you.
- Be prayerful.
