Seemingly Passive and Ineffective

 

Humility, obedience and faithfulness, these are qualities that, in the modern world sound so passive and ineffective. Humility is being equated as allowing others to just trample upon your rights and dignity as a human person. They say we must air out what we think is right no matter what others may feel. Obedience on the other hand is look upon as having a colonial mentality wherein the person just submits without asking questions because he thinks of himself as inferior to the other. They say we cannot just follow; we must question our leader even in an inappropriate place. Faithfulness too is seen as hindrance to success in life. They say you cannot be faithful when your future is at stake, so if someone will become a hindrance you should drop him/her for your futures sake. We have seen this in politics; they say there is no permanent friend or enemy only permanent interest. Faithfulness is only for the weak; opportunity should be first before being faithful.

These qualities are actually important in our personal growth. Humility does not mean being passive it is being secure of oneself because we are sure of what we can do and when to act and stand up for something. Obedience is not blind submission to someone, it is being aware that there are things that others know better than us, so obeying is the most prudent way. We don’t know everything and by obeying we gain wisdom and knowledge. Faithfulness is never a hindrance to success on the contrary is a big factor for success. It shows how we can be consistent and persistent on something we believe in, qualities that are held high by any organization.   

Humility leads to healing, obedience leads to abundance, and faithfulness leads to fullness.
