Philippians Chapter 2 is an excellent portrayal of our Lord’s character and nature. His coming was not
to be served but to serve. To manifest the nature and character of Father God.
I propose to you that apart from Holiness, humility is one of God’s prime
attributes. It is the root of all virtue. Without humility there
is no servanthood. Without servanthood there is no Kingdom!

Unity necessitates humility(Ps 133). As long as we are
obsessed with our own self-importance, unity will remain a pipe dream at best.
I have been part  of several groups that at one time or another felt they were “IT”. We were so absorbed with
our “revelation” that the rest of His Body did not feature on our
horizon.  In every case decline set in(Pride
comes before a fall!).

Humility necessitates self-denial(Luk 9:23). Jesus
said that if we don’t deny ourselves i.e. pet doctrines, denominations, agendas
etc, we can’t be His disciples. If we have an agenda apart from the
Kingdom(which comprises of all His people) we are not following or representing
Him.  Self-denial guarantees fruitfulness.(John 12:24) Where there is death there is resurrection. Time to
die to what’s ours and live for what’s His!

Christ spurned reputation. How rare in today’s politically
correct world. As Paul said” If I’m still trying to please man I will not
be a servant of Christ.” His ambition was to be well pleasing to the Lord,
not build an empire for himself. The Kingdom will advance forcefully when
humble servants, serve the King’s purposes.

Humility manifests in obedience! “Not my will but
Yours be done!” The laying down of my life to embrace His! As young Jesus
so aptly responded:”Did you not know that I must be about my father’s
business?”

Humility brings great authority(Isa 57:15). God hangs
with the humble! Moses was the most humble man on earth. Reason? He was
speaking to God face to face. Father’s nature rubbed off on him. He was also
unparalleled in manifesting God’s power.

Christ took off His robe, knelt down and washed His
brothers’ feet. Let’s follow suit!

I suffered from shoulder and neck pains for
the past three to four years. I consulted a specialist and was advised that the
cartilages on the third and fourth vertebrae on my spine had worn due to ageing
and this was the cause of the pain. At times, I do not have a restful sleep and
I would wake up in the night with pain over my shoulder and neck area.

In my recent consultation, the doctor told
me that there is nothing he can do to help me except to prescribe pain relief
medicine and ointment. I decided not to take the medicine but apply ointments
occasionally to relieve the pain and prayed to God for healing.

I attended the Kingdom Invasion Conference
and on the second night, Ps Randy stood and gave a specific word of knowledge
for the healing of the third and fourth vertebrae in the spine.  I stood up immediately upon hearing that word and
began to claim healing for myself. Ps Dian Botha, who was standing nearby came
to pray for me. As he prayed, I felt something shifted in my neck. I started to
lift both my hands up slowly and was able to lift it up high without feeling
any pain at all for the first time. The pain on my shoulder and neck was gone
and I knew I was healed! I stood up to wave my hands to give God the glory.

On the following evening at the Conference,
I met a deacon with his child named Samuel. I decided to check out my healing
and I went over to carry the boy. I carried out and walked around the
conference hall and found that there was no pain on my shoulder and neck.

I want to thank God and give Him the glory
for indeed, He is Jehovah Rapha, my Healer.
Amen

Yours Faithfully
