A word for you!

A word for you!

Philippians 2:7-8 AMP
But 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. And 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 Christian journey is personal as we all know but one way or the other we come across people in life that we either impact positively or negatively.  Christians are enjoined to be like Jesus, the word Christian means Christ like.
Are we Christ like?
Looking at the scripture above its stated that Christ humbled himself to the point of death, He stripped himself of all privileges to assume the guise of a servant or slave in order to save you and I even to the very point of death he was humble. Some of struggle with this,  we think being humble is an eye service thing forgetting that it must first be settled spiritually so that its physical impact will be done worthily.  Yes spiritually,  the spiritual controls the physical  when you struggle to do His will go back to the manual of prayer and ask for the Manufacturer's help. Prayer settles spiritual battle and its activated in the physical world. At times one may need to deny oneself in fasting to achieve some spiritual gift as long as its to the glory of God. So my lovely friend this day do you still struggle with humility or anything, you want to be humble or Christ like but flesh is busy waring against the spirit. Take it to the Altar, hand it over to God then listen for His direction. He is perfect and He wants us to be perfect, when we struggle with imperfection He is available to lead us through if we call on Him. May the Lord help us in Jesus name amen.  Have a blessed day.
