Topic: STAY HUMBLE I

Memorise:

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
— Proverbs 11:2 (KJV)

Read: 1 Peter 5:5-6 (KJV)

5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

RCCG Open Heavens 11 November 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

If there is a storm in the jungle, big, tall trees might be uprooted. However, by the time the storm is over, the lowly grass will remain in its position. When strong winds blow, a blade of grass will bow in the direction of the wind, but after the wind blows, it will return to its former posture and remain like that.

In life, storms happen every now and then. When a storm comes, many people who have pride in their hearts and consider themselves to be better than everyone else are usually blown off, while the unknown – the meek and lowly – remain and praise God after the storm has passed.

Everyone who became proud in the Bible was eventually blown off by one thing or the other. Nebuchadnezzar was blown off his throne for seven years, and he ate grass like an ox because he refused to remain humble (Daniel 4:28-37). Pharaoh lost his army to the Red Sea because he refused to acknowledge God and insisted on stubbornly pursuing God’s people (Exodus 14:28).

Pride makes people put themselves in a place where they can be easily destroyed. Beloved, no matter the height you attain in life, it is wise for you to remain humble and avoid becoming a show-off.

Today’s memory verse tells us that with pride comes shame, but with the lowly is wisdom. Nobody can access God’s wisdom with a proud heart. When a man becomes proud, he invites shame to visit him. Pride always goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall (Proverbs 16:18). A humble man, however, will enjoy preservation and promotion because humility attracts God’s favour and blessings.

Proverbs 29:23 tells us that while a man’s pride brings him low, a humble man will be upheld by honour.

Pride is very dangerous because it makes people delusional. When they ought to work on themselves to become better, pride will lie to them that they are the best. Instead of seeking or receiving help from others, pride will deceive them that they are self-sufficient and do not need other people. When people allow pride into their hearts, they close the heavens over themselves because God resists the proud and only gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).

Beloved, no man can go far without the grace of God. If you want God’s grace in everything you do, clothe yourself with humility and never allow pride into your heart.

Prayer Point:
Father, please help me to always clothe myself with humility so that I can always enjoy your grace, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year:

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
I want to be like Jesus,

I want to be like Jesus,
A pure and holy child.

(Chorus)

Verse 4:
I want to be like Jesus,
For He is all to me;
I want to be like Jesus
Throughout eternity.

(Chorus)

Open Heaven Devotional 11 November 2026 Commentary

Theme: The Burden Bearer calls you to stay humble. Pride invites shame and destruction; humility attracts grace, wisdom, and preservation. Like grass in a storm, the lowly remain standing.

Major Keywords: Stay humble, pride comes before a fall, the grass principle, humility attracts grace, God resists the proud.

Commentary Summary:

• The Grass Principle: Tall trees are uprooted in a storm, but lowly grass bends and remains. Pride makes you rigid and vulnerable; humility makes you flexible and preserved. Storms reveal who is truly standing.

• Biblical Examples of Pride’s Fall: Nebuchadnezzar ate grass like an ox for seven years. Pharaoh lost his army in the Red Sea. Everyone who became proud in the Bible was eventually blown off.

• Pride Blocks Grace and Wisdom: James 4:6 says God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. A proud heart cannot access God’s wisdom. Pride makes people delusional—believing they are self-sufficient when they need God and others.

• Key Truth: Proverbs 11:2 says with pride comes shame, but with the lowly is wisdom. Humility attracts God’s favor and promotion. The way up in God’s kingdom is down—humble yourself, and He will lift you up (1 Peter 5:6).

Reference to Theme: This message, STAY HUMBLE I, begins a series on humility. No matter the height you attain, remain lowly. Your preservation and promotion depend on your humility, not your strength.

Action Steps:

1. Conduct a Pride Audit: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any area—career, ministry, relationships, finances—where pride has taken root. Repent immediately.

2. Practice Intentional Deference: In a conversation this week, intentionally let another person have the last word or receive credit for a good idea.

3. Memorize Key Scriptures: Internalize Proverbs 11:2, James 4:6, and 1 Peter 5:5-6. Let them become the spiritual antibodies that fight pride in your soul.
