Andrew Wommack Devotional for 4 May 2026 — About Humility

TODAY’S ANDREW WOMMACK DEVOTIONAL. 


 
TOPIC: About Humility

 
John 6:15, "When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone."

 
Text: John 6:15
 
Jesus 'was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin' (Heb. 4:15). The temptation for Jesus to submit to the crowd and exalt Himself must have been there but He didn't respond to it. He came to do the Father's will and not His own will (Jn. 6:38). He immediately withdrew from everyone and spent all night in prayer with His Father. Prolonged prayer is an antidote for the temptation of pride and will work a God-type of humility in your life.

In Galatians 2:20, Paul is preaching a death to self, but it is very important to notice how this death took place. Paul said he was dead through what Jesus did. He experienced this death by simply reckoning what had already happened through Christ to be so (Rom. 6:11).

 
There are people today who have taken the 'dying to self' doctrine to an extreme and, instead of being free of self, they are totally self-centered. They constantly think of self. It may be in all negative terms, but it is still self-centered. A truly humble person is one who is Christ-centered. Dying to self is not a hatred for self but rather a love of Christ more than self.

There are false religions that preach a denial of self. We need to be not just dead to self, but alive to God. A focus on the denial of self without the enthronement of Christ leads to legalism. True humility is not a debasing of self, or a hatred of self, or our accomplishments. It is simply an awareness that all that we have and are is a gift of God. Therefore, only a person who acknowledges God can operate in true humility.

Today’s devotional reminds us that true humility is not about putting ourselves down, but about exalting Christ above self. When our focus shifts from self-consciousness to Christ-consciousness, pride loses its hold, and we begin to live in genuine dependence on God. Humility is simply recognizing that everything we are and have comes from Him. As we stay yielded to His will and spend time in His presence, our lives reflect a quiet confidence rooted in grace, not self-effort.
