James 4:10
King James Version
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and he shall lift you up.
How to be an effective worker for GOD?
We, born again workers for GOD, must aim to be humble.
For all GLORY belongs to GOD alone.
As taught us, through the ministry of JESUS.
2 Corinthians 4:5
King James Version
5 For we preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the Lord;
and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
2 Corinthians 4:6
King James Version
6 For God,
who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts,
to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:7
King James Version
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of the power may be of God,
and not of us.
Our LORD came into the humblest existence.
Isaiah 53
King James Version
53 Who hath believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God,
and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed,
and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment:
and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed,
he shall prolong his days,
and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul,
and shall be satisfied:
by his knowledge
shall my righteous servant justify many;
for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he hath poured out his soul unto death:
and he was numbered with the transgressors;
and he bare the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
Why, then should we be anything else?
1 Timothy 6:7
King James Version
7 For we brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
