Psalm 71verse21 ‘Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.’
God does not only want you to be great but to also grow in your greatness. So whatever level of greatness you are currently on, God wants to take you higher and further in Jesus name amen. Therefore are you ready for your next level of greatness? If you are, this is why you are reading this devotional today and I intend by his grace to share with you some of the proven and tested keys to unlocking unusual greatness. So if you are ready let’s examine these truths right away.
1. You need to be incurably Humble. What does this mean exactly? It speaks of humility that can’t be cured or corrupted. My dearly beloved, this is how you increase and keep increasing in life. The way up is the way down and if you want to keep rising, then you need to stay humble. Humility is the way and key to unusual greatness! Pro18v12. As God begins to lift you up, you must remain humble. Usually the problem we often have is that people become proud and arrogant as they rise in life. This is why their greatness is often cut short or cut off. Consider the following characters in the Bible and you will understand what I mean clearly:
1. Satan (Isa14v12-15). He fell from Grace to Grass because of his pride.
2. King Nebuchadnezzar (Dan4v30-37). He was sent to the University of The Animals because of his pride.
3. King Saul (1Sam15v17-19, 23). He lost his throne and the kingdom because of pride.
This is why you need to stay humble, so that you won’t stumble. You need to be incurably humble to keep rising and rising in life. The more humble you become, the greater your greatness and vice versa also. So my dear reader, the choice is yours but I advise you to embrace a lifestyle of humility in order to keep rising and shining in life. If you are keying into this, can I hear a thunderous amen?

Prayer for Today: Lord, help me to always give you the glory no matter the situation in Jesus name, amen.
CONFESSION: I choose a lifestyle of humility as a believer. I will never allow the praises of men to enter into my head! I will always give you the glory and honour because there is no me without you, Lord! I pray that you will always be glorified through my life and works in Jesus name, amen.
