MENTALITY OF HUMILITY
by
Kent Clifford Cooley

(John 17:22-23; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 5:22)

“I have given to them the glory and honor that you have given me

so that they may be one even as we are one.”

If Jesus has given us the same glory and honor that the Father gave to Him, what was the process in which Jesus received this glory and honor? He received glory and honor and exaltation and dominion by developing a mentality of humility.

Let this mind be in you which also was in Christ Jesus

who humbled himself even unto the death of the cross.

Therefore, God has highly exalted him

and given him dominion and a name above all names.

We receive the same glory and honor that the father gave the son the same way the son received it, by developing a mentality of humility.

Father, I make a quality decision to practice humility at the cost of not protecting my pride that wants to impress people and protect my self esteem. Sometimes when I choose humility, people may rub it in and I may feel belittled. Even though I feel belittled, I am going to stay inside of humility and take my losses in the sight of people. I am pursuing You. I am pursuing the same mind of humility that Jesus had. I am pursuing Your way to honor and glory. This goes against human reasoning but your ways are not our ways. The same glory and honor you gave to the son the son has given to me.

Child, my glory and honor is available to you because I have prayed to our Father for it for you. It is the way to be one in unity with Me. When you walk in humility and lower expectation of yourself, the world will definitely recognize Me and sense the love of our Father.

GLORY AND HONOR

Devotion: Mentality of Humility

(John 17:22-23; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 5:22)

Verse 1

We were the sinful kind,

O Lord what did You find to attract Your love

Such mercy from above

You were the richest king

The mighty God of everything

Yet You humbled Yourself to wear a robe of flesh

Bridge

You lifted us up out of sin;

You gave us the spirit to win

Our broken hearts you kindly did mend

Then you promised to come back again

Chorus

Glory and honor,

Majesty and power belong to You O Lord

We bless Your holy name

You're evermore the same

We glorify You

Verse 2

Now we are royalty

And in eternity we will reign as kings

And priests forevermore

We wait for the heavenly prize

The glorious day when we all will rise

In Your likeness Lord,

To wear a robe of white
