Many people have a very poor understanding about humility. This is the main reason why they have not developed it though they may have desired it but it is still far from them. As God may have it, this book has touched the term humility from its grassroots to the peak, pinpointing service as a therapy for mediocrity to all persons alike. Peradventure you desire a quick glance at the books contents I believe this conclusive part will capture and satisfy your quest. Being humble is not groveling in front of others or thinking that they are no good and others are better than you. That is not what I am expressing. Rather, when you are humble, you are free from pride and arrogance. You know that inside you, you are not derisory; to rather, you know who you are in Christ. You therefore do not need to defend yourself when you acknowledge what the Bible says about Humility. When you know your position in Christ, you can be a peacemaker with no need of fight for your rights; you can walk humbly in the power of the Holy Spirit and no longer in your strength.
Everyone despite limitations yearns for destiny fulfillment; thus, the desire to break greater grounds becomes an imperative drive. This drive could be acquired through life experience rather than mere description. For one to experience breakthrough in life, he must understand that life is a continuous journey. It begins at one point and gets to another, in the same life trip. Your attitude at a point in life spurs, demotes or stagnates you. To maximize opportunities in the journey of life, humility is inevitable. Humility entails lowliness of mind, it creates room for further achievements by creating the consciousness of "I am yet to arrive" in you. You do not get satisfied by yesterday's achievement which gives rise to pride. Apostle Paul opined: "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, f that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before" (Phil 3:12-13)
Over the years, the teachers and preachers of the word had emphasized on "love, Faith, Gifts, and submission" in churches and meeting places as the great requirement for good Christian life, but the most scarcely spoken of is 'humility. This particular character moved Jesus Christ to carry the whole of His followers to a designated place and gave them an immediate orientation on kingdom principles and lifestyle. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these at least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven'" (Matt 5:1-11). These facts portray the beatitude as one with a primary focus on humility. The question therefore is, "WHY IS IT SO"? This book stresses with the above question and gives answers that are requisites for our spiritual, psychological, material, and financial growth.
