The only path to exaltation with God in the bible is of the holy cross which is humility and it demands prayer. Pride goeth before a fall.

Hosea 4:7. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

Beloved, God your loving Father in heaven, has one unique attribute Himself and cherish this same attribute, when He finds it in the live of anyone. See it.

Psalms 138:6. Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Both the Eli’s family and the nation of Israel lost the lofty promises of God, when they were found wanting in the place of humility.

Beloved, never ever fall into this undoing, because of its painful and shameful consequences. It shall never be your portion in Jesus name.

1 Samuel 2:30: Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

Jeremiah 18:7-10. At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

Israel forgot God and turned their backs to Him, when they suddenly found themselves in the abundance of His blessings. This shall not be your portion in Jesus name.

Hosea 13:6: According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

God had informed Israel severally that should they forsake Him, after He has blessed them, they shall forfeit the blessings.

You shall never forfeit God’s blessings in your life, so do not turn your back to God, because of His ever increasing blessings. It shall be yours in Jesus name.

Hosea 4:7. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

Joshua 24:20. If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

PRIDE WILL MAKE ANYONE AND EVERYONE TO LOOSE OUT HERE AND HEREAFTER FROM GOD, WHILE ON THE CONTRARY, HUMILITY WILL MAKE ANYONE AND EVERYONE GREAT THROUGH GOD, BOTH HERE AND HEREAFTER. Here is wisdom, take advantage of it.

Proverbs 15:33: The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Proverbs 11:2: When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Proverbs 16:18. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 18:12: Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

Proverbs 29:23: A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Isaiah 2:11-12. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

see how pride humbled king Nebuckadnezer, but humility latter exalted him, even to glory.

Daniel 4:30 -37. The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken;

The kingdom is departed from thee. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

At the same time my reason returned unto me; for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

However, pride ruined his son and send him to hell and damnation.

Daniel 5:22: And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; Daniel 5:24: Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.

Same was the case with Israel, but shall never be so with you as you deliberately live a consistent lifestyle of humility before God, till Christ comes. Receive grace to do so in Jesus name.

Obadiah 1:3 -4. ¶The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

From eternity past to eternity future only the humble shall cohabit with God and His son.

Isaiah 57:15: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

No marvel while Jesus our Lord lived exemplary lifestyle of meekness and lowliness and encouraged believers of all ages and that includes you to emulate Him.

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 23:12: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Luke 14:11. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Luke 18:10-14. Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Our Lord was highly exalted by the Father on the account of His enviable humble lifestyle.

Philippians 2:5-11. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Hebrews 5:7-8. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

You also shall be highly exalted in Jesus name, so follow the example of Jesus henceforth.

JESUS’S LOWLINESS LIFESTYLE, DURING HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY, BROUGHT HIM TO HIGH ESTEEM. EMULATE HIM.

Friend, what happens to you, becomes experience and what happens to others and you learn from gives you wisdom. Learn from the painful and shameful mistake of Lucifer. Pride ruined him and consigned him to hell and lake of fire.

This same shall be the lots of the Worldling and the churchgoers. It shall not be your portion in Jesus name. They shall not be part of the dawning rapture but the fearful seven years great tribulation after and then damnation ultimately for all eternity, like satan.

Isaiah 14:12-15. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:

I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

On the contrary, humility exalted our Lord Jesus Christ and made Him to sit at the right hand of majesty.

Same shall avail for you too and be the basis why you shall be part of the rapture and live eternally with Jesus. So determinedly live a lifestyle of biblical humility and lowliness till Christ comes. The good Lord shall help you in Jesus name.

Hebrews 12:2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 1:3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;Always remember the reason why you should cultivate and sustain a consistent lifestyle of humility.

GOD RESISTETH THE PROUD ANYTIME AND EVERY WHERE, BUT ASSOCIATE AND HONOURS THE HUMBLE.

Dont forget this, please make humility your lifestyle till Christ comes.

Psalms 138:6. Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

James 4:6. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

1 Peter 5:5-6. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

Proverbs 16:19. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Romans 11:20: Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

1 Timothy 3:6: Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
