HUMILIT
Y
HUMILITY
-is defined by Merriam Webster as “freedom from
pride of arrogance”.
It is emptying oneself or denying oneself. It
happens when the self is no longer at the forefront
of one’s words and actions nor placed at the
limelight of any conversation.
HUMILITY
- It is acknowledging or considering others better than
oneself. It is the foundation of wholesome relationship.
One who always assert that he is right over another and
does not want to lose any argument is a person who
lacks humility.
- Is also the key ingredient for greatness
HUMILITY
As the Scriptures tell us: “Therefore humble
yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that
He may exalt you in due time”.
The secret to humility is simply admitting that we
can do nothing apart from God. It is
acknowledging the fact that we also need others
for help.
ACTION PLAN
1. Assess your conduct in the previous days or week. If we
hurt or offended somebody, let us approach them and
seek forgiveness as a step towards humility.
2. As officers and employees of the government, let us
nurture the culture of humility in the office by starting
to serve one another as well as our clientele even if they
may be of lower rank or status than us.
Declaration
We are humble public servants. We understand that we should
reach out and serve our clientele or any member of society
regardless of their status in life. We shall not look down at
them we shall not be arrogant or conceited over anyone.
Humility shall be seen in us even in the face of accolades
and appreciation of the people. The higher we reach, the
more we will set our feet on the ground; the more
achievements and success we have, the humble we will
become.
Prayer
Lord, make us humble as You are. Even if You are God, You came in
the likeness of man. You took the form of a servant and served us all
by dying at the cross of calvary in order to bring salvation to us. You
have set the example of humility andhave demonstrated how to
reach out unto others by going down to our level. You loved us
while we are still sinners. With this, there s no reason that we should
be arrogant and haughty. We also pray for all those who aspire for
high government office. Help them to remain humble public
servants by being amiable, sacrificial, and approachable at all times.
All these we ask in the God’s Holy name. Amen.
