Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 23, Day 6: Friday, 9th June 2023. Topic: ELIJAH AND THE THREE CAPTAINS 6: Be Humble Always

“13. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

14. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.”

Powers are in level, just as it is in the physical, so it is in the spiritual and power also answer to humility. No matter how powerful or wicked a man/woman may be, when he or she is approached in humility every of his or her guide are brought low. Even our God changes His mind when a sinner humbly surrender himself to God. It’s not in appearance but the content of the heart flowing out from the mouth that makes one humble. Humility doesn’t ends by prostrating or bowing your head but by the words from the dept of your heart. 

Elijah would have prepared to roast the third captain and his fifty as they were coming but he’s heart melted when he heard the outpour of the humble third captain. Many lost the opportunity to rise in life because they lack humility, humbleness and are power frick. Get this today, no matter the height you are, someone is still above you, and remember, you can never be above God no matter your wisdom. Be humble with the use of your power and position. Stop belittling others, go down to earn your position and your rightful place in life. Jesus’ humility gave Him authority above all powers, make humility your life style and you will be lifted.
