SUMMARY:Romans 12:3
DESCRIPTION:Romans 12:3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me\, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves\, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. (NLT) \nEgo or humility? \nThe Ego is a powerful energy. It often binds to negative qualities like pride and selfishness. However\, it does not have to. To remedy that problem\, you might think it would be better to shut it down. However\, you cannot shut it down entirely; it would not be beneficial. The ego is a necessary part of your psyche. You are a human being. You are born with a sense of “self”. Your parents\, teachers\, mentors\, pastors\, etc. encourage you to have self-esteem and self-worth. This is not wrong\, nor is it a weakness. A person’s sense of self drives a great deal of what he/she does in some way or another. \nBecause God anointed you\, He uses you in powerful ways to bring blessings and deliverance. It is a natural instinct for a person\, who is truly grateful\, to thank the one God used. It is also natural for you to be proud of being used by God. This is where the danger can come in. This is when the enemy can take your ego and your sense of self and cause you to walk in pride if you are not careful. Keep these things in mind: \n\nIt is not your power; it is God’s power flowing through you.\n\n2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) in ourselves to claim or count anything as coming from us\, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God. (AMPC\, edited) \n\nYou are simply being obedient to the will of God.\n\nMark 16:17-18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing\, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick\, and they shall recover. (KJV) \n\nWhat happened in the person’s life had nothing to do with you.\n\nActs 3:12 And Peter\, seeing this\, said to the people\, “You men of Israel\, why are you amazed at this? Why are you staring at us\, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?” (AMP) \n\nThe power to heal\, deliver\, save\, etc. is God’s alone.\n\nJames 1:17 Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect\, streaming down from the Father of lights\, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change. (TPT) \n\nIt’s not you. God is working through you.\n\nPhilippians 2:13 [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire]\, both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. (AMPC) \n\nYou are not more special\, above and beyond the specialness of every other child of God.\n\nRomans 12:3 For by the grace [of God] given to me I say to everyone of you not to think more highly of himself [and of his importance and ability] than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment\, as God has apportioned to each a degree of faith [and a purpose designed for service]. (AMP) \nIt is your responsibility to make sure you lead the ones\, God blessed through you\, to thank God and not you. Any other response causes you to begin to read your own headlines. Ego becomes pride. Then you begin to charge people to give them what God told you to give them for free. Now\, no one can touch you\, speak to you\, etc. without an appointment. \nProverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. (KJV) \nYou can’t afford to let the lines get blurred. Read what happed to Herod in Acts 12:21-23. \nPlease agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response: \nI repent\, Father\, I desire to walk in humility. I know people have often misconstrued my personality\, the tone in my voice\, my diction\, and how I present myself as ego or arrogance. You made me the way I am. You specifically crafted me for the task You assigned. I repent for those times when I so desperately wanted to be accepted that I took Your praise for myself. Then and now\, I’m grateful You know what’s in my heart. I always want to give You the glory for who I am and how You use me. I didn’t choose the tone of my voice. I didn’t choose anything about myself. I am Your design and creation. As You work in me and through me\, my desire is to serve those who You assign me to serve with grace and humility. I will lift You up and not me. I will make sure the words I speak point to You and not to me. Thank You because You use me despite my individuality\, or how I am perceived. I give You all the praise. I know You are the ultimate judge. You give me the liberty to be me. Thank You for holding the reins and reeling me in when You see me walking the way I think I should walk instead of being guided by Your strength and light…\n \nAsk the lord what he wants to say to you about today’s devotional and journal it here:
