—1 Timothy 3:1-7
by: Susan Bond.
Rick Joyner, in his book The Final Quest, describes a scene in heaven in which he gets to meet famous church leaders of the past who warn him of the dangers of pride. He learns that as long as he is wearing the cloak of humility, he is treated with utmost respect by these leaders whom he had once so admired. More importantly, it is only when he is wearing the cloak that he is able to clearly hear the voice of Wisdom. Whether the reader sees this book as a trance carefully documented by its author or as an allegory like John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, its message is clear: humility is essential.
