The Benefits of Right Posture

James 4:10 KJV

“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”

James 4:6 AMPC

“But He gives us more and more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it).”

Proverbs 3:34 EASY

“The Lord laughs at proud people who laugh at other people. But he is kind to humble people.”

Wisdom Nuggets:

Ecclesiastes 10:10 AMPC

“If the axe is dull and the man does not whet the edge, he must put forth more strength, but wisdom helps him to succeed.”

• GOD RESPONDS TO POSTURES; MEN RESPOND TO POSITIONS!

• GOD CHECKS OUR POSTURE BEFORE HE RELEASES THE BLESSING!

• One of the worst things you can do is to transfer your prejudice about the man of God or people of God to your children.

• The carrier of The Anointing may want to bless you, and the Anointing does not bless you because of your wrong posturing in the spirit.

• You could receive the word of God with the wrong posture, and it will not do anything for you.

• Anything that carries the anointing – Your Bible, the house of God, the work of God, the people of God, the man of God – act differently around them.

• It is your posture to the Bible that determines what the God of the Bible does for you. That is why we get different understandings from the same message.

• Your posture affects angelic ministry.

• If you will walk in the supernatural and experience the peculiar dimension, find the right posture.

• When your posture is correct before God, He will give people for your sake and wipe out a nation to defend and protect you.

• How can God bless someone and not the other? Posturing!!! Posturing opens the supernatural or closes it.

• Walking humbly means you have a posture of honour, reverence and respect for God. We can’t fear man more than God and expect God to be happy with it.

• When God is about to promote you, He will rehearse your story. Let God tell you where you are coming from.

• There are garments that can not be used to serve: your claim on Age and social status. These garments cannot allow you to serve.

• There’s a posture of a son different from a posture of a master.

• It is a posture that determines the permanence or transience of a position.

• Anywhere you go, you will not go wrong, letting respect go ahead of you. Don’t let any wrong posture shorten your journey. Get your postures right.

• Hell was not in the original creation of God. Hell was created when sin was found in Lucifer, and that sin was pride.

• Pride is not a way of walking. It’s a posture of the heart. Humility is not a way of walking. It’s a posture of the heart. A proud man does not need the devil to fight him. God is his enemy. God resists the proud.

• If you can go lower before God, the higher He will raise you. Some people need to change their attitude. The higher God wants to take you, the lower you must go before God, and the higher He will take you.

• Have the right posture towards your boss. Don’t work until closing; work until the job is done.

• Idleness, laziness, and procrastination are all wrong posturing.

• Some wives could be enjoying the best of their husbands if they would only posture right.

• Some children could be enjoying the best of their father’s wealth if they would only posture right.

• The wrong posture has sentenced people to a life of backwardness, a life of punishment.

• Fasting does not change God; it only changes us; if you have a problem with pride, fast until it leaves you.

• Foot-washing in the Bible was to break the spirit of pride.

• If you can go lower before God, He will use you better. The lower you can go before God; the richer God will make you.

Finally,

No poser will succeed before God, but the right posture will attract divine assistance to help you succeed every time.
