Humility
Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD [is] the instruction of wisdom; and before honour [is] humility.
Proud people always fall. It's only by humility that one can walk in the anointing and stay in Christianity. Many humble people are the ones who serve. Proud ones feel big to do the menial tasks around the church.
Proud people are not teachable. They don't come for prayer, fellowships, bible study meetings, etc. They only come for special days like Christmas and Easter.
Proud people cannot humble themselves to plant churches even when they have what it takes to do so. When they imagine the work associated with church planting, which actually humbles you, they cannot go for it. They prefer keeping their image to obeying God.
Proud people cannot humble themselves to attend small group meetings, calling them for young people. To them, a meeting with politicians and CEOs is higher than believers who have nothing to offer but problems.
I remember a time when the bornagain movement in Uganda had churches made of papyrus (biwempe). Do you know that some from other denominations still have such a mind? Even when we have buildings in brick and mortar, they still refer us to biwempe churches! Some parents cannot attend their children's weddings in such churches because of pride in their hearts.
Proud people cannot receive from servants of God. They don't want hands to be laid on them because they feel richer, more powerful than the pastor. They cannot seek advice from such humble servants of God. They go to all sorts of people for advice except men of God.
Proud people do not have personal prayer and biblestudy time. They don't seek God for help. After all they have swallowed a bitter pill that knowledge is power. So they use books, the Internet for help. There are answers those other sources will never do but God alone.
Humble yourself, and you will be lifted in power, anointing, and the supernatural.
