I had an opportunity to be connected with an elderly man of God many years ago. In my closeness to him, I can see that he was, and still is, a humble man of God. Everything about him points to this. I love him and wanted to know the secrets behind it.

So, one day, I asked Him, "Daddy, what is the secret behind your meekness?" His reply astounded me. He answered, "People say so but I don't know what is special in what I do."

It is not for the humble man to publish his meekness.
The day you know that you are humble, believe it or not, you are not. The Scriptures instructs,
"Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips." Proverbs 27:2.

It was not the Disciples in Antioch who went around proclaiming that they were following Jesus Christ. People who were Gentiles saw the glory in all of them. They were able to see the virtues of their Leader in each of them. That was the main reason they were called Christians, for the first time, Acts 11:26.

May the Lord help us to be meek now and forever in Jesus' mighty name. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
