FACE THE CRISIS OF LIFE WITH HUMILITY

"The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, honour, and life." Proverbs 22:4

Devotion, 21 June 2025

You have heard it said many times, “Humility is the key to the King’s heart.” This statement holds when we desire something beyond our reach. We must always be humble when approaching these goals. For instance, children often humble themselves when requesting school fees or Christmas clothes.

Building on this concept, humility is crucial for success. Many fail to humble themselves when they face life’s challenges, but approaching God with humility is essential. As we reflect on our lives, the Bible reinforces this concept in 1 Peter 5:6-7, “Humble yourselves therefore under God’s mighty hands, that he may lift you up in due time.” By humbling ourselves, we open ourselves to God's guidance and protection. As Proverbs 22:4 promises, "The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, honour, and life." Similarly, James 4:10 calls us to "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up."

In light of this, let us consider a practical example: if your child is sent home due to unpaid school fees, would you approach the head teacher with aggression or humility? Humility can make all the difference in resolving issues. Furthermore, in the workplace, humility is vital for maintaining positive relationships and retaining your job.

As we apply humility in our daily lives, it is essential to recognise its importance in all areas. Whether in leadership, marriage, family, workplace, or business, humility plays a crucial role. Take a moment to reflect: Are you humble enough in your interactions? Difficulties may arise from a lack of humility. How do you respond to that?

With this in mind, let us pray: Dear God, I acknowledge my weaknesses and recognise humility as a vital aspect of my life. Help me develop humility like Jesus, to face challenges with confidence and courage. Thank you for your guidance.

Amen.

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner, Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual. For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God. The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan. Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King. If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
