Submission – The Road of Humility

Dearly Beloved
Over the past few weeks and months we have been looking at
the theme of humility. We all know by now how important it is as an attribute
both in this life and in the next. The question now comes down to how does
one develop or acquire humility? It is obvious that we all will be humbled
– either we humble ourselves and receive God's grace or being proud
we will resist God and be humbled by Him (1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:6). There are
keys in the Word that point to how humility can be developed in our lives.
Humility can be acquired through submitting and relating to
others. The younger are told to submit to the older (1 Peter 5:5-6). This is
not in regard to an abusive relationship where the younger get bullied by the
older but speaks of one learning to submit to those who are older (physical or
spiritual) in age to us. It implies that the older one is worthy of submission.
Also a point to note is that submission is "given" and not "taken." This states that no one (whether natural or spiritual) can
claim authority and submission from another. Submission is voluntary and not
compelled or coerced. Anyone who demands that people submit to them are not
worthy of yielding submission. There are so many abusive relationships today
that the very thought of submission causes a shudder to go through those who
are innocent and new. Yet, despite all these, we cannot deny that there is some
truth to the Bible telling the younger to submit to the older and also wives
submitting to husbands as their husbands are in turn submitted to God
(Ephesians 5:22-24).
In a modern world of independence and rights of individuals,
the topic of submitting to one another is not a popular topic as everyone tends
to walk around with a fat ego and expect recognition of one's gifting and
talent per se. Everyone is an independent and people are so mobile nowadays
that one can easily pull up roots and move to another town or community when
our ego is bruised or wounded. The fact is that many, many Christians do not
learn to relate to one another because they just simple do not choose to do so.
Superficial relationships thrive when one just see one another once a week or
once in a while. It takes living under the same roof to bring out either the
best or the worst in us. Whenever we relate to another person in a close manner
(through marriage, through family relationships, through friendship, through
sharing the same house, etc.) there is the necessity of give and take.
Surprisingly, many people who have a vacuum in their ability to relate to their
family or loved ones tend to also have the same inability to relate to others
within the same church or community. This is because it takes humility to
relate to another human being. Relating to another human being requires
humility and a submission one to another (Ephesians 5:21).
The next time you are running away from a family, loved one,
friend, employer, partner, etc. ask yourself, 「 Are you running away
because you are unable to submit to one another?」 If you are then you are
robbing yourself of life's greatest lesson – the lesson of
humility. We learn humility by learning to yield submission to one another in
various relationships. We do not learn humility directly from God, we learn it first
through relating to other humans around us. For how can we say that we are
submitted to God when we cannot submit to those around us who are in authority?
The test of submission is also a test of relating to
authority. Every one of us have to deal with authority even from our inception
into the world. We are immediately under the laws and authority of the country
in which we are born in (or acquire citizenship or permanent resident). We deal
with parental authority when we are babies and growing into adulthood. We deal
with school authorities when we start going to school. We deal with social
strata and underpinnings of authority as the various school mates' egos
clash in social life until some become the head and others the tail. Authority
is always around us. In this life, we cannot escape dealing with authority for
when we work either in ministry or professional, we deal with established
authorities. When we partake of any group of humans organized into a club,
society, church, sports or any other organization of humans, we deal with
authority.
Of course, those who are abused by authoritarian figures
remain damaged in their soul and might be crippled and unable to deal in future
with other authorities, even good ones. Others have simply no authority over
their lives and lived undiscipline lives but always heading nowhere. Some have
the extremes of both. Unfortunately, no matter what our experiences or
background is, we all need to learn to walk correctly and in balance with
authority over our lives and as God wills, exercise proper authority over
others in our lives.
The prodigal son and the elder brother in Luke 15,
illustrates the two extremes in responding to authority. The younger brother is
an undisciplined person who obviously does not understand stewardship nor
proper authority or submission to the father.  He was outwardly conforming but
inwardly had pride. True humility is outward conformity with inward humility. The
older one was outwardly submissive and law abiding but he did not enjoy himself
at all; he had no grace for the younger brother. There was no joy in the older son
and no true love for the father in the younger. The younger son returned not
because of the father's love but because he was hungry and wanted to be
fed well like the father's servants (Luke 15:17-18). The older son had
not comprehension of the generosity of the father's love and lived a
miserable law-cased life. He did not understand nor have the father's
love and joy for the younger brother (he refused to enter the celebration)(Luke
15:28). The older son obviously looked down on his younger brother in the
statement that he made about him (Luke 15:30). The younger son was self-centred
and licentious caring for no one but himself. However, the redeeming feature of
the younger son was that he was willing to even renounce sonship and just enjoy
servantship with the father. Though he did not understand his father's
love nor returned solely for the sake of the father, he was at least on the
road of humility. No matter how our lives were or where we have been, the road
home is always the road of humility. Humility brings us into the grace of God.
The younger son was willing to walk the humble road of just being a servant and
received the fullness of the grace of the father.
Humility must begin somewhere. It always begins in a
relationship with another human in the right manner. Start right now to walk
the road of humility. It does not matter your past, your sorrows, your pain or
your losses. The younger son went through all those things and made a decision
to walk the road of humility to the father. Like many of us, the younger son
has no comprehension or appreciation of the love of the father. He was even
selfish in thinking of his stomach and own survival but the road of humility brought
him home. Grace is always given to the humble and never to the proud.
Sometimes, the road of humility seems to be forced upon us
by circumstances (and God) without us realizing it. It is always for our own
good. Hagar was going to run away because of the harsh treatment that she was
getting from Sarai (Genesis 16:9). She had given birth to Ishmael and was
feeling the wrath of Sarai. The whole situation was not actually her fault. It
was Sarai's idea to let Abraham sleep with her and have a child and not
her own idea. She did have one small fault which she should not have done
– she emotionally began to despise Sarah. However, we must remember that
she was forced into bearing this child and not through her own generous
voluntary choice. Who knows if she loved another person and was forced to sleep
with Abram by Sarai? There are thousands of reasons in such circumstances to
imagine why she hated and despised Sarah. Her anger or hatred turn to spite
when she had the only child of Abram and Sarai had none. The treatment that she
was receiving was so harsh (could have included unjust beatings and rough
treatments topped with verbal abuse). She did the only thing she knew –
run away. Yet the angel of God told her to stay on with Sarai and submit to her.
She submitted to Sarah about another 14 years plus the number of years it took
to wean Isaac (Genesis 16:16; 21:4-13). Despite all the cruelty of Sarai and
her own weaknesses, God blessed her and the child and took care of her. If
Hagar had left and disobeyed the Lord in shortening her own suffering under the
heavy hand of Sarai, perhaps she and the child might have died. When it was the
time for the test period of submission to be completed, God allowed her to
leave Abraham and supernaturally took care of her and made Ishmael  a great
nation (Genesis 21:17-20).
The road of humility is not over just because we say it is
over; nor is it completed just because we think we cannot take it any more. It
is over only when God says that the test is complete and it is over. If we
cannot take the road of humility than like Paul we should ask for more grace.
Note that the situation where Paul required grace and was asking God three
times for help was a situation given so that he would not be proud through the
abundance of revelations given (2 Corinthians 12:7-9). It was the road of
humility that Paul was trying to get out from but God said that His grace is
sufficient for him. Paul learned to walk that road in the grace of God taking
pleasure in humiliation and infirmities.
We do not have to wait until we have lost all our goods and
bankrupt ourselves before we choose to walk the road of humility like the
prodigal son. Nor do we have to wait until the abundance of revelations to come
to walk in the road of humility. Nor should we try to shorten the road of
humility by our own hand. Only God sees the heart and only God sees the pride
in hearts. He knows all things and examines our deepest thoughts to see if
there be any wicked way in us. Only God can determine whether we have humility.

Let us learn to walk the road of humility. Learning to wash
one another's feet like Jesus washing His disciples' feet. Let us
be willing to do the most humble and obscure work in God and not just look for
places that the Pharisees look for – places to blow their trumpets and
demonstrate their false religiosity publicly. Humility is in our hearts and it
will allow us the grace to do the simplest task no matter how insignificant in
our eyes or how small. True humility must be inward and demonstrated outwardly
in our relationships with one another.
The humble shall be exalted and the proud brought down.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus continue mightily on each of
us as we walk the road of humility.
In Christ's love

作詞：黃文萱、宋念宇 / 作曲：宋念宇

是不是我不正常  我對你有一種
奇怪的感覺  害我都要假裝
或著你是一隻蝴蝶  常常會吸引我
難道這是  我已經喜歡你

(我想說)
不管這條路多短 我都期待
看見你的快樂
(還想說)
不管這天氣多壞 我都不動
好像在等什麼
等你經過我

今天我們相遇了  假裝不在乎
愛裝忙  是我不夠勇氣
天空都在哭了  你卻沒走開
為什麼 屋簷明明很大

其實就是你對不對
我又不是蜜蜂
我想我是 是真的喜歡你

我們就一直僵在 這一秒鐘
直到你問我是不是愛
原來我們的心裡有對方
其實我們想戀愛
可是我們更需要 練愛

這個世界有時會有些人惡意的傷害你

他們總有他們的理由, 或是根本不需要緣故

受了傷的人也會繼續刻意或不經意的傷害其他的人

受傷越深的人越會重創別人

這世界也有些人會因為愛你很深而不小心傷了你的心

他們不是故意的, 那是他們最不想看見發生的事

如果可以的話, 我想他們寧願自己背負那一切的傷痕

通常這是電視劇裡的劇情, 上映於真實生活中

真愛會傷情, 因為那份真愛和傷害一樣震撼整個靈魂

你也許不會相信, 他們比你還要更痛

但是這個世界也有治癒的天使

這些隱形的翅膀曾經也是無法飛翔的

這種醫治的愛比傷口還要深

厚厚的、舒適的、溫暖的不得了

還有盼望、喜樂、光明

痛都會過去的
發現那些真正善良的、關心你的
即使犧牲自己最大的利益也要成全你

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwr61OV3ihI&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6]
那是得救, 那是重生

你如果被這份愛緊緊的擁抱過

就再也不需要生日的三個願望了

三個太多了, 一個就足夠了

表面上說希望能夠變成一位更好的人, 越變越好

理由是因為好人會有好抱
其實心裡卻偷偷許下了那個唯一的心願

「希望你快樂」
兩位我最愛的女歌姬
四首深情的冬季戀曲

受傷難過的人

希望最少也會喜歡一首

讓愛再次治癒溫暖你的心

聖誕的短講內容, 還沒想到
本來以為可以換的掉, 但老闆要讓我操練.. 啊哈哈哈..... (很乾的笑容, 我知道我是笑長, 可是也不必..) 我整個.... ||| 厚-厚-厚- ... Merry Christmas!!!
雖然只是短講, 但反而覺得需要講稿 (可是這樣的話我老師會殺了我, NOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~!!!!!)
前一陣子開始練習不用講稿中文講道 (英文的是根本沒閒暇去看講章, 生氣! 不看了!! 其實中文到最後也是這樣!! 生氣!!! 什麼東西!!)
這樣可以用「心」講, 而不是用「頭」講, 隨著聖靈的流, 但還是非常有聖經重點的井然有序和邏輯 (不能亂講一堆沒重點的東西)
然後都懶的錄了, 哈哈~
50-60分鐘的講道不用搞, 這次20分的短講感覺比平常還有挑戰

還沒想到要講什麼
不過前幾天突然有想到一個名字, 想命名為... 「聖誕之愛」?
天啊, 整個好溫馨的名字
我的心融化了
其實我是個超級心軟的弟兄, 哈哈
聖誕真意, 收過什麼最棒的禮物呢?
收過什麼讓生命不再一樣的禮物
暖暖的、充滿希望光明的、永不止盡的..
真真切切的、超乎想像的....!! 


親愛天父和我的老師
我會用我的全心和靈魂去宣講這份聖誕之愛的 (認真)


還有啊... 優質弟兄站出來哦
今天聽到一位笑友還是都有很棒的靈修好習慣
哦超級感動的啦
我知道時候到了的時候, 我絕對會全力幫助你啦!
還有另一位還傻呼呼的哦
但我知道有一天, 你們都要站出來
回應這個神擺在你們身上的呼召

優質弟兄站出來!
這世界需要像你們這樣的榜樣來做為耶穌的見證人!!!!
我們一起來傳揚聖誕真正的意義, 聖誕之愛!!!
獻上2009聖誕歌曲
