SPIRITUALITY – THE VEHICLE FOR TENACITY AND HUMILITY
By DIGC 22 September 2019
The more spiritual people get, the humbler they become because the
Almightiness of God always reveals the nothingness of man.
SCRIPTURE: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the
proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. James 4:6
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Spirituality facilitates optimism, positivism and
enthusiasm.
We have been on a journey of exploring the products of authentic
spirituality, and we shall be taking it a little further. It is clear to note
that to ignore your spirituality is to sign for frustration. Today, we are
going to look at other products of spirituality.
1. Spirituality is doorway to tenacity
Authentic spirituality imparts on a person the capacity to withstand
pressure in order to keep on keeping on. Job who was a man of deep spirituality
said, ‘…all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come (Job
14:14). Spirituality facilitates optimism, positivism and enthusiasm. A
spiritual person is a real fighter; he does not give up easily or take NO for
an answer.
2. Spirituality anchors humility
The more spiritual people get, the humbler they become because the
Almightiness of God always reveals the nothingness of man. And the humbler we
get, the more en-graced and lifted we become. Humility means the capacity to
receive advice, the admission of ignorance until proven otherwise. Humility
also implies a moderate estimation of oneself. There are many people God would
have taken to higher dimensions in life but for the limit of their humility.
Beloved, intensify your spiritual fire and surrender yourself completely to
God, and the nature of God will be expressed effortlessly in you.
Remember this: Spirituality facilitates optimism, positivism and
enthusiasm.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Determine to maintain spiritual intensity by God’s grace.
2. Make demands on God for the spirit of humility.
3. Determine to be tenacious in the pursuit of God’s purpose for your life
and destiny.

wait on You, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
