Good News #54: God Wants to Increase and Bless My Life; He Wants Me to Continue Growing!

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time…

1 Peter 5:6

Religion carries a double-minded ideology. It teaches that God is loving yet it also teaches that God leaves you in the state He found you and leaves you to figure things out on your own to get out of the pit you are in. Religion brands this as God’s way of teaching humility.

Religion further teaches humility as self-abasement towards others. It teaches people to refrain from talking about the wonderful things God is doing in their life because religion wants to protect the ego of people. Religion creates a fictitious limit on how far they think people should be successful in life.

Religion sucks.
Religion makes a mockery of the character of an extravagantly loving and generous God.
Religion creates fake pretentious insecure people who cannot genuinely be happy for others.
Yet, many christians embrace this misguided ideology and they think they are being humble.

The bible is clear. When one humbles oneself towards God… meaning when one knows where his supply of wisdom, well-being, wholeness, favor, wealth, prosperity, success, peace, stability, security, happiness…in short eternal life (the life God Himself enjoys)…when he knows this and does not think of his own self as his own source of all of these, God will exalt him in due time.

2 Corinthians 1:20 says…
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, TO THE GLORY of GOD through us.

In other words, God is glorified when the world sees His children living above natural circumstances.

This is the gospel — when Jesus finds you, He will never leave you in the pit.
He will lift you out of it onto His shoulders. Your life will never be the same and your life will be extraordinary.

Whatta gospel we have!
