One day I saw a cock flew/jump on a tree and what I saw amazed me.

Do you know why?

The cock scanned the tree first, then, it bent it tiny legs to the ground and jumped up, before it eventually spread it wings and landed on the tree.

Do you know what I saw?

It's not easy to get to the top.

As an individual aiming for the top, it takes a lot of sacrifice.

However, you must have clarity of where you're aiming to.

Like the cock scanned the tree before it brought itself to the ground, you need to understand where you're going, then, you need to bring yourself to the ground in order to get to the top.

"How?" You may ask.

You've got to discipline yourself by humbling yourself if you're really set for the top.

I have learnt to humble myself many times in order to get the best in life, I mean as I keep climbing the ladder of success both spiritually and in the circular world. I don't joke with humbling myself.

Pride has nothing to offer you but humility has a whole lot of things to offer you in.

Many times, I learn things from people that are far younger than me, I don't allow the age gap to hinder me from acquiring the knowledge and skills that I need on the path to success.

In life, age is just a number.


If you really want to achieve the best in life, then, you've got to learn from that cock. Humble yourself and the Lord will crown your efforts with success.

What do you say?

What does the Bible say about humility?

Check it out ���

Proverbs 11:12 "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

1st Peter 5:5 "Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

Remember that our Lord Jesus humbled Himself and took the form of flesh for our sakes.

As a Christian, your level of humility should stand out.

Truth be told, it pays to humble oneself than for God to humble you.

May God help us to continually be humble in Jesus name.

But that shouldn't stop us from being humble.
