In a Very Self-Centered World, Do You Find It Difficult to Express Selfless Humility as God Requires Us To? – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi Oshinowo

Be encouraged! Jesus, our Lord and Savior’s journey to the cross is our example in SELFLESS HUMILITY through His death on the cross.

In Apostle Paul’s letter to the early Christians in Phillipi, he wrote in Philippians 2: 3-8…

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves.

Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility], who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes—the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it]; but emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man].

After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross.

LET US PRAY

Lord Jesus, thank You for showing us the attitude in selfless humility. Despite Your divine nature, You became a man, You humbled Yourself by becoming obedient to the Father, even to the point of death on the cross. I pray that You give us the grace to adopt Your selfless humility which You desire in us. Help us to humble ourselves for Your glory to manifest in our lives. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen 🙏🏾

Have a blessed day ❤️
