Being Willing To Receive Ministry

Day 6 of our journal before our Womens weekend is about being willing to receive ministry. 

We need to learn to humble ourselves to Him, and to allow Him to do the work that He wants us to do. In Acts 9 we read about Saul becoming the man that God needed him to be. Saul was a proud man but His encounter with Jesus brough him to a humble position where he was in need of the help of another.

Pride can stand in the way of us receiving from God, it is important that we do not let it take way in our lives. 

"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18)

When we allow pride to lead the way, it will lead us to destruction, it will lead us to falling apart. When we are humble however, we will live in the ways of the Lord and our lives will be exalted. 

Willingness to let go of all our pride and just to simple be humble opens ourselves up for great ministry. And in this ministry we can have great and powerful breakthrough. Let go of what ever it is that is holding you back, let go of pride and let God do a work in you. 

Thankful for: Self-Control

Some days I don't have a lot of this, others I do. I'm praying that I can continue to work on it and become a stronger individual and say no when I know I need to. I'm thankful however, for the ability to grow my self control. Without self control, life could quite easily become very different and very mixed up.
