Meekness is the eighth fruit of the Spirit and far too underrated among believers! Nowadays, very expensive 'Leadership courses' are constantly organized for believers in Western countries, but never free 'Humble Servant courses' or 'Slave courses'.

I remind the reader that Adonai Yeshua taught his disciples like this: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.". Mark 10:45
This is also how Adonai Yeshua taught his disciples: "26 It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave -". Matt. 20:26-27

Moses was very meek, even more humble than any other person of his time on earth. It is interesting that Adonai Yeshua said he is quiet and meek in heart. Matt. 11:26
We also notice that the Canaanite woman had similar meekness. As a result, Adonai Yeshua healed her possessed daughter, even though Yeshua was not sent to the Gentiles, but only to search for the lost sheep (i.e. sinners) of the tribe of Israel.
He did send his disciples to spread the Good News to all nations starting from Jerusalem as soon as they had received the power of the Holy Spirit. That they received based on Yeshua's victory over sin and death through his death on the cross of Calvary and after his resurrection and when he had received all authority in heaven and on earth!

How can we become meek?

We cannot be entrusted with demanding spiritual tasks unless we have learned meekness. Moses and Yeshua are good examples of this. Without meekness, we would not be able to succeed in demanding and difficult tasks.
How can we become meek?
According to the NT, by studying and adopting humility from the life and teachings of Adonai Yeshua. The Holy Spirit molds our souls through the Word of Yeshua within us, bringing us into many difficult situations where we find that humility is the only wise way to solve them and come out victorious.
Why is meekness so hard to embrace?
Western education and working life strives to constantly shape us to be better than each other. It is a competitive situation right from early studies. Therefore, believers in Adonai Yeshua must undergo retraining to embrace godly meekness and humbleness. It is very difficult, especially for those of us who do well in our studies and work life. Fortunately, it is possible for me and you, if only we aim for it!
