If you’ll push away your pride God will work powerfully both inside you and through you. Here’s a list of powerful pride push-aways.
1) Speaking the truth in love,
2) Considering others better than yourself,
3) Praying for those who mistreat you,
4) Blessing those who curse you,
5) Loving your enemies,
6) Turning the other cheek,
7) Forgiving everyone,
8) Asking people to forgive you,
9) Being humbly honest with people,
10) Confessing your sins to someone you trust,
11) Repenting and turning away from your wicked ways,
12) Not holding back when tears come to your eyes,
13) Asking God to search your heart and show you your sins,
14) Obeying God’s promptings even when you don’t want to.
15) Always seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
16) Staying continually aware of the presence of the risen Jesus,
17) Serving other people,
18) Being kind to everyone you meet,
19) Always showing hospitality, even to strangers,
20) Resisting looking for recognition and acknowledgement,
21) Waiting on the Lord and on His timing,
23) Refusing to take offense at what people say and do,
24) Being a good sport whether you win or lose,
25) Making friends, spending time with, and humbly sharing the love of Jesus with people who you disagree with, who have a different skin color than you do, who have a lower social status than you do, who speak a different language than you do, and who are from a different country that you are.
Always push aside both outer and inner pompousness. “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Instead of telling people that you’re proud of them, tell them that you are blessed and humbled by something godly that they have said or done. For example: “I am blessed and humbled by the way you’ve grown spiritually lately. #humility #Pride
