HUMILITY IS NOT STUPIDITY!
Our flesh fights against our spirit. The world wars against our Christlike walk! So, its normal for people to take meekness for weakness, humility for stupidity and gentleness for dullness! But when we trust God's Word, discipline is required to yield to His ways, become steadfast in order to receive the bountiful harvest of absolute OBEDIENCE!

One of the most powerful weapons, necessary for achieving total victory in spiritual warfare, is HUMILITY. (there are many others, like righteousness, faith, prayer, love, peace etc)
Never be too self-centered, proud or ashamed to be respectful to people, especially your elders and those in authority and also to take the least place to serve people, and even those weaker. Now, that was all Jesus did, it's great wisdom indeed with incredible benefits!

Philippians 2:1-11. Paraphrased.
Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God.
He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form and SERVED HUMAN BEINGS! ............
Because of this, God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name,

That's what I call ASTRONOMICAL ELEVATION! Many ignorant people would have considered Jesus Christ as weak and wimpy, timid and stupid, lazy and lousy,. But not too long, Jesus Christ became the Lord of Lords and King of kings. Hallelujah! Never underestimate the power of humility!

Consequently, the right mixture of humility with these other weapons, would bring us to great places, people, pursuits and purposes in life. So, life in Christ will not just be a reality, but a dream you never get to wake up from! There's abundant life and blessings here on earth from God before we go up to Heaven. Repentance, humility and absolute obedience to God's Word will get us there.

2 Samuel 22.28 .
You, O LORD rescue, honor and bless those who are humble, but your eyes are on the proud to humiliate and bring them down.

Who can deliver us if God is against us? No one, except repentance, humility and absolute obedience to God's Word. Pride brings God AGAINST us, but repentance, humility and absolute obedience to His Word puts God on our side to fight for us, guide us, protect us and promote us. Humility is not stupidity, but the ultimate wisdom and requirement for great astronomical promotion.
Your night season is over, your new day has come.
Hallelujah!
