This Is A Fail Proof Way To Success

James 4:10 - Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
NASU 
  • Unsuccessful Leaders 
Exodus 10:3-4 - Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me. 4'For if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory. NASU
 
If you are familiar with the story of Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh, then you know this plague doesn't humble the Pharaoh. As a leader he was not able to bring himself where he needed to be and that was a state of humility.
 
WOW!
 
Do you know any leaders of any countries today that are not able to humble themselves? Or do you know of any wannabe leaders that are not humble? 
  • Successful Leaders 
Numbers 12:3 - (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.) NASU
 
There, my friends, is the reason that Moses was a successful leader.
 
In fact, if you continue to read the following verses God called Miriam, Aaron and Moses to come outside for a meeting. In this meeting God tells Miriam and Aaron that he doesn't treat any of the other prophets like He treats Moses.
 
Then God wants to know why Miriam was not afraid to speak against Moses?
 
God then gives Miriam leprosy. Aaron begs Moses to ask God to remove the leprosy, which Moses does, but God makes Miriam endure the stigma that comes along with leprosy for a week.
 
Moses was the most humble man on the face of the earth then, and God protected him from his enemies, even those who were from his own family. 
  • Meaning Of Being Humble 
A freedom from arrogance that grows out of the recognition that all we have and are comes from God. Biblical humility is not a belittling of oneself (Mt 6:16-18; Ro 12:3), but an exalting or praising of others, especially God and Christ (Jn 3:30; Php 2:3). A humble person, then, focuses more on God and others than on himself. True humility does not produce pride but gratitude.  (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright © 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers) 
  • Are You Interested In Being A Successful Leader? 
1 Peter 5:5-7 - and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. 
 
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, 7 casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. NASU
 
If you will follow this plan it is fail proof. You will be successful. You will receive Grace from God and God will exalt you at the proper time. He exalted Moses at the proper time and He will do the same for you.
 
Be Humble and you will Be Successful.
 
Think On These:
 
We usually admire the other person more after we have tried to do his job.
 
No man can truly stand erect until he has first bent the knee to Almighty God.
 
Sincere humility attracts. Lack of humility subtracts. Artificial humility detracts.


Stay Pumped,
