When God says...
“By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life.” (Proverbs 22:4 NKJV)
He gives a very powerful revelation: "The rewards for meekness and reverent Fear of God are abundance and dignity and satisfying life.” It is no wonder why God's Words give so many reminders to be humble. Humility, as an expression of reverent worship before the Almighty Creator, unlocks abundant favors from heaven. We ought to know, all that we need in this life comes from heaven - where our Provider reigns. Lord Jesus assures us with these words: "Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous–with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!” (Matthew 5:3 AMP) This is such a very reassuring declaration of our Lord Jesus Christ at the Sermon on the Mount.
In Christ, we are able to enjoy True riches that are never left behind but saved in the bank of heaven. Lord Jesus said: “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:20-21 NIV)
The Lord also gives us this promise of heavenly honor: “Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”(John 12:26 NIV)
And, we have this assurance of life, which He declared to Martha: “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”” (John 11:25-26 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
