Preamble:

Humbleness goes before submission but could be tantamount to submission if not properly manage or control to limit its pervasive interactions which could therefore gain some reasonable level of entrance into your soul. Great knowledge which could be subtle is required at this interface, to be able to discern the level of such interaction and its perversions because the call to serve begin with obedience to voices and which satisfies the criteria for harvesting of souls.

Humbleness, as righteous as it could be is one characteristic of a man that must be properly understood in relation to the state of the heart and it tendency towards submissiveness because depending on the level of involvement, your prayer may find it difficult to wheel through to God except you gain knowledge in God that will shed light unto your path in this regards. Knowledge in God is knowing Him by His word (Romans 10: 17) and revelation, and of course, God reveals Himself better to those who dearly love Him and continually doing His will (Isaiah 65: 24). 

The above topic was initiated by the inspiration of the holy spirit to be an eye-opener and to boost your knowledge in God, to deliver you from the hand of those lions that has held you bound for years through their vigorous lordship and pretence. Therefore i will implore you to sit back and read through this message of salvation that will change your life forever.

Introduction:

Humbleness in it simplest secular understanding is to acclaim a position of self lowliness but in the spiritual interpretation could be tantamount to submission if not properly controlled or managed as this interaction is subtle and a property of the subconscious, and will therefore induce your spirit being to manifest accordingly.

To be humbled is to show, to some extent, the level of agreement, likeness, brokenness or understanding in relation to the course of action, which therefore manifest physically but not all physical antics of being humble is acknowledged spiritually. Genuine humbleness is a property of the heart which relate to your subconsciousness and is indeed needed as a switch to either accept or reject lordship as it were (Proverbs 4: 23). 

Understanding the interactions between this phase and the connection thereof is a good point to start life if really you want to be where you desire because there are many forces in life seeking for lordship and desperately contending for it (Galatians 5: 17), be it good or bad, even without the consent of the subject.

Life is unfair to man because they (man) do not have the adequate power to control the affairs of the unseen (spiritual), which critically tussle the physical since they are limited to five senses (touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste) except those that have restrained or crucified themselves to attain a level for harnessing the power of the sixth and seven senses which can only be subtle and made manifest by a deity (God or the devil).

Life is all about struggle, full of ups and downs, which wouldn't have been so if the power to harvesting of souls has not been readily available to the devil as he picks on his prey and monitor them to make sure they fall into his domain by assigning an agent who may be closer enough to the subject and by the power of physical dealing and relationship along with series of devising antics, the prey fall in their hand and soul is being coveted.

Therefore it is quite enough to adequately seek for knowledge that will counter the devil's antics and equally negate it effect which can only be found in God as He (God) is only the one that can open your eyes (by knowledge and revelation) to see the hidden plans of the ememy. 

Knowledge is critically and essentially important in matter like this and without it, you can do nothing (Proverb 4: 7). Remember, when God rebukes His children in the book of (Hosea 4: 6), He said "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" and not for lack of prayer. So then, knowledge takes precedence above prayer for it is by it that you will know when to pray and when to act, may the Lord grant you the grace to this level of understanding in Jesus name.

The devil may not even put in much effort to get you in his domain because he knows that the moment he pushes the life desire you cherish most to you through his agent, you automatically jump at it and therefore you are in for the game, this could be in the area of job, marriage and every other good thing of life (Matthew 6: 21). 

To be humbled is one of the greatest requirements for Godliness but to be humbled in Christ and not to the devil (James 4: 10, ). Even Jesus Christ who is the saviour of the world and who perform all the greatest miracle wouldn't have achieved all these if He had first submitted himself before the Pharisees and elders who always wanted to subsides His preaching and ministry (Matthew 23).

Having perfect control over the quest for humbleness and the interaction thereof, towards coveting of souls can only be perfected by God as man is limited in his ability over such interface and therefore, only those who are in good standing and able to hear Him (God) will be saved.

Beloveth, life is a game, the match which you are playing or struggling to play between you, the devil and God and the playing field is your heart. A game which will never end the moment you are still in the flesh and therefore, you critically need wisdom in dealing with God successfully, so that when He throws His ball to you then you must know how to catch it correctly, else you will begin to deal with the devil (Proverb 4: 23). This phase may be very critical as the two sources or option may be looking very alike but His angel will guide you through if truly you are standing well (Proverb 14: 12).

There are many individuals that are not just dealing with the devil but already partnering with him in his ministry by setting up a ministry here on earth that equally propagate his kingdom heritage and demonic flows which is basically anchoring on immorality as the father of all sin (I Corinthians 6:15‭-‬20). 

These are individuals that have set immorality as the bedrock of their businesses like many corrupt comedians and musician that if they have not feature immoral scene by showing naked captivating ladies flaunting their expose breast, butt or lap, for the audience to see and admire, then they have not arrived or get satisfied with their publication. They are already partnering with the devil and so, those that have ear let them hear what the spirit of God is saying because serious judgement is awaiting them before God (I Corinthians 6:15‭-‬20, Revelation 22: 11-15).

Immorality is the most dangerous and deadliest tool of the devil out of all the tools he uses to draw men unto himself (1. Sexual immorality, 2. Money, 3. Authority). This is because no other tool rightly gains fast entrance into a man's heart than sexual immorality. This is one thing that God can never dwell with and one of the greatest thing He detests because the moment you engage in such immoral act, you automatically displace the spirit of God in you to create room for that of the devil (I Corinthians 6:15‭-‬20). 

The bible verse quoted above read as follow: 

I Corinthians 6:15‭-‬20 NKJV - "(Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with  Him...........

.............Flee sexual immorality, Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s)"

The heart of man is so fragile and delicate, this is why the bible verse above admonishes us to guard our heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life (Proverb 4: 23). This means that what you see and admire can subtly take up your heart and if not properly controlled, it breeds lordship and before you got to be aware of it, you had become a slave to it. 

The devil is so smart that he knows how best to covet your soul by just a twinkle of desire or openness, so be guided. Let's see how you can take control and behold any of such connection in relation to your heart over genuine humbleness, because as i said above, if not properly controlled or managed, it result to coveting of souls and lordship set in: 

1. Obedience to God: 

The most possible way to counter the devil and his antics is God because he (devil) is also powerful and smart (Matthew 10: 16, Ezekiel 28: 12) and as such it is only the one who created him that can trap his ways. God created him and made him so for his own purpose until iniquity were found in him and was sent away from God's paradise to the dark world (Ezekiel 28: 12-16). 

Standing well with God is the first priority that cannot be overemphasized and this is achieved through adequate obedience to his voice. Hearing Him at time could be costly as it may entail being crucified to some of the good things of life but whoever is able to carry his or her cross to follow Him at this point shall be saved.

2. Revelation of His person: 

The first revelation to know Him (God) is by His son who gave His life as a ransom (Matthew 20: 28) and which can only be manifested by His word (John 1: 1-5). The word of God is the most dangerous weapon of a believer as it gives you the right to know and equally sharpen your knowledge of God. It gives you the require adequate strength to stand the test of time. Not just will it sharpen your knowledge of Him, it also has life and that life became the light of men, the light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not (John 1: 1-5). 

The word carries an inherent power (Hebrews 4: 12) that by reason of reading and passionately meditating on it alone in a very conducing environment, especially during your quiet time within such early morning hour, you will experience His presence but this is for those who have genuinely crucified themselves with him on the cross. 

You will need to combine the knowledge of Him by His word with the inward conviction of His person by the holy spirit that will be ministering to you to adequately grant you the privilege for full revelation. God reveals Himself and His power more to those He dearly love by reason of their heart with Him and if that's the case, you must sharpen your relationship with Him first which may not come by chance but by the test of time (1 Corinthians 3: 13-15).

3. Being courteously devising the act of human dealing and relationship:

This is a very good point to start the physical defence and control, following the help of God which will equally give you the upper hand in terms of justice because our God is a God of justice and you must acquire some level of being just for His wrath to be made manifest (Psalm 89: 14). 

This point is very important for every individual if actually, you want to maintain the status quo and not found your soul being coveted. It is the point at which you found yourself being engaged or confronted in the dealing with men, either favourably or unfavourably which therefore prompt the real man in you. 

It is important to have sharpened your act of dealing with men and equally devise ways of being courteous and decorum, gentle to speak and slow to openness of the mind (Proverbs 21: 23, James 1: 19, 1 Perer 3: 4). These, first of all, are what the holy spirit will teach you to learn either in a soft or hard way, so as to finally back it up with the power of His might in other to protect your soul from the tussle of life.

The bible text quoted above read as follow:

"Proverbs 21: 23 NKJV - Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles"

"James 1: 19 NKJV - So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God"

"James 3:6 NKJV - And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire by hell"

"1 Peter 3: 3-4 NKJV - Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let  it  be  the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God"

So many individuals have no coverage or preservative for their instinct and thought and therefore lack the proper manner to preserve their heart over every genuine humbleness that is being manifested during the dealing with men. This set of people could be very lousy, talkative, not gentle, and everybody's pet, even the bible admonish us to be slow to speak, gentle and quiet in spirit, just as we have read above.

Above all, you have to be smart and bold and able to discern the antics of the spirit of evil men towards their pretentious good habit and leave the rest for God (1 John 4: 1-4). It is always very good to pray about all your dealing in life as this will usually move God to action over every of your case.

Summary and Conclusion: 

In conclusion, we have learnt that, humbleness as good and righteous as it could be, even as God as commanded it, is also a good gateway for the enemy to manifest and harvest their desire and equally acquire lordship over you especially for those who are not standing well with God and are not able to control the interaction of such interface.

We have also learnt that man in his natural sense cannot stop the devil in this regards except God be with him which therefore means that controlling the interaction over such interface can only be perfected by God as the devil is also smart and equally possess the power to mysteriously perform such interchange and therefore it is only God that can stop him because He created him.

Confession: 

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and you are convinced that you need Him to come into your life so you can also tap into the full power of God and the grace available through the shedding of His blood for the remission of sin, and equally partake of the effectiveness of the blessing that comes with it, being ready to repent from all those sins of fornication, adultery, lying, sexual immorality, pride, jealousy, hatred, idolatry, selfish ambition, witchcraft, impurity and debauchery, dissensions, envy, drunkenness, orgies and the likes, then locate a quiet place, be sober and be on your knees, and make this little confession. 

However, remember to be sure of what you are doing, so as not to be going back and forth or making jest of His holy name. (When you respect Him and give Him honour, He will also honour you in the sight of men; Matthew 6: 6).

 "Lord Jesus, I come with total humbleness of heart to ask for the forgiveness of my sins and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please,  forgive me all my sin (you can begin to name them as you can recall). I  surrender my life to You and I want you to come and take full charge over my life. I accept You as my Lord and my Saviour. Please, cleanse me with Your blood that You shed on the cross and make me a new man,  leaving old things behind. I promise to serve You and do Your will at all times. I, therefore, ask for the strength to carry on. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen"

From the author's desk: 

It is my greatest desire that this sermon ministers grace unto your soul but this is not enough. To overcome the desires of the flesh just as we have read above requires deep knowledge of God, and it is when you have acquired the required wisdom that you can properly take your place and do exploits for God and yourself because ignorance is the highest form of bondage that limits your God-given power in life. The Lord bless you abundantly even as you make haste to know Him more. Therefore, I will urgently urge you to be rooted and grounded in the word of God, in order to deepen your faith, knowledge and relationship with Him (God).
