When God called me to ministry, one of His most essential instructions was to remain humble. He repeatedly emphasized this as He continued preparing me for the challenges ahead. Sometimes, He would even show me the obstacles I would face and how humility would be the key to overcoming them. I am grateful for this
God is a selfless being, and one of his attributes is that he upholds his word above himself (Psalm 138:2).

When Prophet Isaiah warned King Hezekiah of the consequences of his poor judgment in showing the Babylonia envoy the treasures of his house and God’s temple, the king responded with a seemingly nonchalant attitude towards future generations. “ The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,” Hezekiah replied. He thought, “There will be
