The Key to Growth in Christ
Secret Of Humility
Hello welcome to this Bible study. Today we’re going to be talking about humility.
Humility is a very important key to growth in Christ and to becoming a mature believer. It is a powerful divine secret that many people underestimate. If you want to be victorious, filled with the Holy Spirit, manifest the glory of God, and become what God wants you to be, then humility is indispensable.
If you want to imitate Christ and follow the example of Paul, then you must imitate them in humility. The Apostle Paul said:
“Imitate me, as I imitate Christ.”
To grow into spiritual maturity and into the fullness of Christ, humility must become part of your character. Without humility, there will always be limitations in your spiritual growth. Pride becomes an obstacle to victory, power, wisdom, and the manifestation of God’s glory in your life.
The Word of God is very important because it teaches us how to walk with God properly. So let’s look at some scriptures on humility.
Moses: The Humblest Man on Earth
Numbers 12:3 says:
“Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.”
Imagine that. Moses was described as the most humble man on earth. No wonder God used him so powerfully. God refined him through many experiences until he became mature and humble.
I remember when I was very young and first read that scripture. It touched me deeply, and I began praying:
“Lord, please make me as meek and humble as Moses.”
God sees the sincerity of the heart. You can also pray and ask God to make you mature in humility.
God Humbles the Proud
2 Samuel 22:28 says:
“You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.”
If someone refuses to humble themselves, God knows how to humble them. And when God humbles a person, it is usually through difficult experiences that teach them lessons they refused to learn willingly.
It is far better for us to humble ourselves before the Lord than for God to humble us through painful situations.
Humility Includes Repentance
1 Kings 21:29 says:
“Have you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day.”
King Ahab had done great evil, yet when judgment was pronounced against him, he humbled himself before God. One major sign of humility is repentance.
Humility means being willing to admit wrong, examine yourself honestly, and seek God sincerely.
Many people blame everyone else for their problems but never look inward. Instead of seeking God, they focus only on witches, enemies, and external forces. But true faith focuses on God.
Yes, spiritual warfare is real, but God is supreme over everything. The Bible says:
“Do not give the devil a foothold.”
So when something is wrong, instead of focusing only on enemies, seek God and ask:
Why was this door opened?
What is God teaching me?
How should I respond?
God is always the answer.
If My People Humble Themselves
2 Chronicles 7:14 says:
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face… then I will hear from heaven.”
Humility positions you to hear from God and receive His help.
There is only one true God. Life comes from Him. When your focus stays on Him instead of fear, your faith becomes stronger.
Pride Leads to Destruction
Proverbs 18:12 says:
“Before destruction a man’s heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.”
Proud people often lack self-awareness. A wise person understands their limitations and human weakness. Humility comes from self-awareness and dependence on God.
The Bible says honor follows humility.
Humility Brings Blessings
Proverbs 22:4 says:
“Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life.”
Notice the pattern in scripture. Humility leads to blessing, honor, wisdom, and life.
Many people run after success through worldly means, but God has already shown us the divine principle:
Fear the Lord.
Obey Him.
Walk in humility.
When you submit yourself to God, He rewards you with favor and grace.
Learn From Jesus
Matthew 11:29 says:
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.”
Jesus Himself described His heart as humble.
If we truly want to be like Christ, then humility must become part of our lifestyle. Christianity means becoming Christ-like.
Jesus also said:
“When a student is fully trained, he will be like his teacher.”
The life of Christ is our example.
The Greatest in the Kingdom
Matthew 18:4 says:
“Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
The greatest people in God’s kingdom are humble people.
True greatness in the kingdom does not come from pride, titles, or self-exaltation. It comes from childlike humility and submission to God.
The Pharisee and the Tax Collector
Luke 18:14 says:
“For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Jesus spoke about the Pharisee who boasted about his good works and the tax collector who cried out:
“God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
The tax collector pleased God more because he was humble and repentant.
Any good thing we manifest comes from God’s grace. The fruits of the Spirit are produced by the Holy Spirit, not by human strength. So there is nothing to boast about.
Be Humble, Gentle, and Patient
Ephesians 4:2 says:
“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”
Humility affects how we treat people. A humble person is patient, gentle, loving, and merciful toward others.
People are growing at different stages spiritually. We must show grace and love instead of condemnation.
Jesus Was Humble Unto Death
Philippians 2:8 says:
“He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross.”
Jesus humbled Himself completely in obedience to God.
Humility and obedience always work together.
God Gives Grace to the Humble
James 4:6 says:
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
God resists pride but gives grace to humble people.
If you are humble, you will constantly seek God for help, wisdom, strength, and grace. Proud people depend on themselves, but humble people depend on God.
Humble Yourself Before the Lord
James 4:10 says:
“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”
This is one of the greatest spiritual principles.
When you humble yourself, God Himself lifts you up. He promotes you, blesses you, expands you, and beautifies your life with His presence.
Put on the Cloak of Humility
1 Peter 5:5 says:
“Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another.”
Humility is something we must intentionally put on.
If humility is difficult for you, keep praying. Ask God for grace. Grow in self-awareness. Submit yourself to God daily and allow Him to refine your character.
Final Encouragement
Humility is one of the greatest virtues because pride was the very thing that caused Satan’s downfall.
When you are humble, you become open to God’s work in your life. God begins to grow His nature in you—love, kindness, patience, gentleness, wisdom, and peace.
The goodness we display is not our own goodness. It is the nature of God flowing through us by grace.
So continue to seek God. Read your Bible daily. Study the life of Jesus. Desire humility. Ask God to make you more like Christ.
Humility is a major key to victory, maturity, sonship, and spiritual authority.

I pray that the Lord completes His work in you.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Remain blessed.

May God baptise you with His fire and power for great exploits, in Jesus name, amen.
If you want to become God's untouchable, be persistent in prayer and wake up at midnight to pray.
Some witches get up at midnight to invoke the spirits of believers they want to cast spells and demons on. But many believers do not want to be spiritually disciplined and pray at midnight.
Acts 16 verse 25 says, but at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God.
A lot of believers do not want to pay the price in Bible meditation, prayer and praise to be filled with God's word and power.
A lot of believers have thrown away their spiritual armor and weapons.
Some believers are so spiritually lazy, undisciplined, docile, and lukewarm that it is baffling.
Ignorant believers feed Satan and his demons and witches through ignorance, scantiness of the word of God and stubbornness. They also feed them through faithlessness, ingratitude, prayerlessness, and carelessness.
They ignorantly think that witches and demons are their problems, yet the problem is within them. The solution is within them. The Kingdom of God is within them.
Luke 17 verse 21 says, the kingdom of God is within you.
You are not helpless. You are not a spiritual orphan because you have the Holy Spirit, the mighty man of war.
Jesus has defeated death. Revelation 1 verse 18 says that Jesus has the keys of Hades and of Death.
All power belongs to Jesus, and nothing can happen without God's permission. It is better to submit completely to God by paying the price than to constantly blame witches, demons and Satan.
Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed Satan. Satan did not blame anyone because he knew that he did his job successfully.
His job was to test them, and their job was to obey God and successfully resist him. They failed their spiritual tests and examinations.
Jesus passed all his spiritual tests, trials and examinations.
Hebrews 4 verse 15 says that Jesus was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Make up your mind to pass all your spiritual tests, examinations and trials and win Satan.
Adam and Eve failed their spiritual test, examination and trial of faith and loyalty to God. God judged Adam and Eve.
Satan still has the same job of testing and trying human loyalty to God. He tested righteous, blameless Job, and Job passed all his spiritual examinations. Satan did not win righteous, blameless Job.
Job suffered so much when his faith was being tested, but he never accused God.
Job 1 verse 22 says, in all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.
Learn how to fight spiritual war and stop shifting the blame to Satan and his witches and demons.
They are doing their job. It's a battle that God has commanded you to win, so fight by the rules and win. It is a battle between life and death, light and darkness.
But know that Jesus has defeated death for you. He died so that you can have life, power and grace in all its fullness.
Second Timothy 2 verse 5 says, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
If you begin to blame Satan and witches, you are indirectly saying that you don't want to fight the spiritual battle.
You must make up your mind to win the battle. You can trample the powers of witches and demons if you pay the price.
Luke 10 verse 19 says, behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.
Rise up! Wake up, great men and women of valor! Pick up all the weapons and armor of our warfare and fight! Stop sleeping spiritually.
Do not be a runaway soldier.
Stop being unconscious spiritually. Be awake in Christ. Be filled with God's word and Spirit.
Crave spiritual gifts. Put on the garment of fire and power. Be filled with all the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Be led by the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit.
Stop resisting and ignoring the Holy Spirit with your spiritual laziness, stubbornness, cowardice, and indiscipline. Submit completely to the Holy Spirit.
Surrender all to Jesus. Cast all your burdens and cares upon the Lord.
First Peter 5 verse 7 says, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Humbly bow before the Lord and tell Him to equip you and teach your fingers how to fight and make war spiritually.
Psalm 144 verse 1 says, blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.
Ask for His help and stop depending on your flesh.
Power is your birthright. Wake up and start putting on the power and fire of God and demons will scream and run away from you.
Witches will fear and respect the fire of God on you because they cannot withstand the fire of God.
May great grace be upon you, in Jesus name, amen.
May God make you an untouchable, in Jesus make, amen.
Receive fire and power for complete protection, in Jesus name, amen.
May God’s great power strengthen you to cut off every association that serves as a point of contact with the gates of hell, in Jesus name.
May God reveal to you the secrets of His Word and teach you how to walk continually in His divine protection and power, in Jesus name.
Win Satan by getting rid of points of contact with the gates of hell.
Point of contact is the big secret that Satan has hidden from believers.
Communication, contact, and association are the gateways that demonic people and witches use to get access to believers.
Talking, chatting and having phone calls with demonic people are demonic gateways and portals. Watching demonic people and celebrities and looking at pictures of demonic celebrities are also demonic gateways and portals.
Those celebrities know it. That is the way they obtain energy and power. That is why they love to be scantily clothed.
Watching demonic people, talking, chatting, and having unequally yoked friendships with demonic people is like falling into a pit and walking into the gates of hell.
Second Corinthians 6 verse 14 says, do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what communion has light with darkness?
If you are hungry for complete deliverance and power, cut off the demonic gates, links, points of contact and doors.
No contact is your biblical instruction and medicine.
Be watchful, be vigilant, be full of God's Word, and hear the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit.
If you do not understand and know God's secrets and deliverance secrets, you will give Satan the upper hand and space.
The Word of God reveals God's secrets.
Second Corinthians 2 verse 11 says, lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
God has given you complete redemption and deliverance. But you can unconsciously and ignorantly give away parts of the liberty and freedom that Christ purchased for you with His blood.
Galatians 5 verse 1 says, stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free.
Cling to your freedom and liberty.
You are not helpless. You have control. You have the authority.
Luke 10 verse 19 says that Jesus gave His disciples authority over all the power of the enemy.
But if you do not know how to apply that authority and control, you will be controlled by Satan and his witches and demons.
Satan, demons, and witches are not the problem. Your inability to know and apply God's secrets and the fullness of God's Word is the problem. Deception is the problem.
Deception and lies are their highest weapon.
To resist the devil is to reject his lies, tricks and deception.
May God show you His secrets.
May the Holy Spirit fill you with light and lead you into all the truth that sets you completely free, in Jesus name, amen.
May God visit you mightily and crown you with His deliverance and power.
There is no sickness, affliction or spell that the Holy Ghost fire and the blood of Jesus cannot destroy.
But the question is: are you willing to pay the price and pray with fervent, stubborn, persistent, fierce faith?
Master how to beg God for grace, ability, mercy and power. Don't be proud.
If you don't ask for the power of God, it means that you are proud and self-dependent. You have not learned the lesson that your flesh cannot save you.
Recognizing your need for the Holy Spirit is humility.
Hebrews 4 verse 16 says, come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Matthew 15 verse 22 says that a Canaanite woman came crying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.
And the woman begged Jesus for the children's crumbs. And Jesus rewarded her faith. Nothing could discourage her from obtaining deliverance for her child.
James 5 verse 16 says that the prayer of a righteous man is very powerful and effective.
Pray. Pray!
Fill your heart with the fullness of the word of God, faith and the complete armour of God. And pray like you have never prayed before.
Believe in the goodness, mercy, and love of God and pray fervently without giving up, and you will experience mercy from the throne of grace.
Be very very stubborn about meditating on the word of God, prayer and seeking God's presence. That is your only protection and medicine for complete deliverance every day.
Stop using your prayer time to play and watch nonsense on social media. Stop watching immoral things that open demonic gateways and pollute your spirit.
Be very serious about spiritual power. Power is taken by force, not by carelessness, irresponsibility, recklessness and laziness.
Matthew 11 verse 12 says, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Spiritual power is not for lazy people.
Cry out to God from the bottom of your heart.
Cry out to God persistently day and night like the persistent widow, and don't give up.
Luke 18 verse 7 says, shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him?
Cry for the highest level of God's power and protection. Cry to God for His fire. You need fire. You were born for fire and power, not demonic oppression.
May God be a wall of fire all around you to cleanse you, fill you, surround you, and deliver you.
May great grace be upon you, in Jesus name.
Crave the fire and presence of God with all your heart. Crave spiritual gifts.
It is the fullness of the presence of God in and around you that protects you and crushes every sickness, curse and all your enemies.
The Holy Spirit constantly tells me that He wants passion-passion for His presence. You must be hungry for the power and grace of God in order to enjoy it.
Passion, thirst, hunger, need and desire are mandatory for attracting God's presence and glory.
If you do not ask, you will not receive.
The biggest mistake believers make is to depend on the flesh.
If you notice that you keep praying but never ask for the fullness of the presence of God or the full baptism of the Holy Spirit, you are praying amiss.
You are praying backwards. You are depending on your flesh. You are fighting with your flesh.
Your flesh cannot win a spiritual battle.
Romans 8 verse 8 says that those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
John 6 verse 63 says, it is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
Of yourself you can do nothing. Man's power is of no use at all.
Sicknesses and demons are only afraid of the fire and presence of God.
If you carry God’s fire, demons will be tormented by the fire of God that you are carrying, and they will flee.
Jesus is the presence and power of God. Jesus is all you need.
Moses knew what he was saying when he said in Exodus 33 verse 15, if Your presence does not go with us, we will not leave this place.
He understood his absolute need and dependence on God. Numbers 12 verse 3 records that Moses was the humblest man on earth in his days.
Jesus said in Matthew 11 verse 29, learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart.
Luke 5 verse 16 says that Jesus often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.
Jesus constantly went to lonely places at intervals during the day to renew the presence and fire of God. That was the secret to His success.
He knew how to walk in the Spirit and with the Holy Spirit. He knew how to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow Him.
It is the truth you know that sets you free.
Hosea 4 verse 6 says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
If you ignore the Holy Spirit and keep fighting spiritual battles with your flesh, you will be very weak spiritually, because you lack spiritual food.
The presence of God is the spiritual food you need. The word of God is the spiritual food for your mind and soul.
It is the word of God that convicts and convinces you to seek the presence of God at intervals every day.
You must be filled and overflowing with the Word of God before you can be filled and overflowing with the glory, fire, and presence of God.
The ultimate quest is the presence and fire of God. The presence of God is what gives you unlimited results and great victory.
Fight! Pay the price!
Pray aggressively and persistently, because it is the spiritually violent and aggressive that experience the presence of God by force.
Let absolute desire and need for the presence of God take over your mind. This is how to walk in the reality of the fullness of truth that sets you free.
Jesus died so that you can constantly taste and enjoy the fullness, power, fire and presence of God.
Jesus has given you the keys to the presence of God.
Do not waste the grace of God by depending on your own flesh to crush demons and evil. Only the presence, power and fire of God can crush evil.
Ask. Ask for the fire of God.
James 4 verse 2 says, you do not have because you do not ask.
Constantly ask for the full baptism of the Holy Spirit and renew the presence of God daily.
If you do not ask, you will not receive.
May the fire of God fill you, surround you, and consume the roots of your problems.
May God's presence come upon you and transform you from glory to glory into the highest dimensions of His power and glory, in Jesus name, amen.
