Apr 2021 - Let the Attitude of Jesus Christ fill us

For this reason also, God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the Name which is above every Name. Philippians 2:9 AMP

What are the reasons quoted in the scripture?

• By becoming obedient to the Father to the point of death, even death on a cross.
• He so completely humbled Himself

There is a sense in which Jesus is our example even in His ascent and exaltation, just as He was in His descent and humiliation. The mind which was in Him is for us the pattern for earthly life, especially His ‘obedience to the death of the Cross'. Amen

• Matthew hinted - anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven (18:4)
• Luke said - those who humble themselves will be exalted (14:11)
• James mentioned - Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honour (4:10)
• Psalmist written - He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way (25:9)
• Wise man mentioned- Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil. This will bring healing to your body and refreshment to your bones. (3:7-8)
• Peter Said - Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right (1 Pt 5:6)

We witness reference in both OT and NT, Kings, Prophets, Judges, Warriors, Levies, Leaders, Families, Servants, Disciples and Scholars obeyed/ humbled to be used or to bring Glory to the Lord. The Lord restored, built, healed, turned, revealed, concealed, commanded, guided, protected, constructed, watered, preserved, blessed and showered His Favour. Hallelujah.

May the Lord Jesus Christ, who said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me, lead us into this season to fulfil His plan and purposes. In The Name of the Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I Pray, Amen. (Mt 28:18)

May this Prayer of Jesus, from John 17, unite us together between us and Him- Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the Name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one. While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your Name, the Name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled. Amen.

May His favour, power, presence lift us up, as we submit ourselves as a living sacrifice, humble into His plan. In Jesus Name, Amen.
