MEEKNESS
Meekness is not weakness or passiveness. To be meek means to be gentle in nature, not easily provoked, and to have a mild temperament. It is the opposite of worldly principles which advise "assert yourself, stand up for your rights."
Meekness is not a natural quality of fleshly man. It is one of the spiritual fruits of the Kingdom:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Each of these qualities should be characteristic of Kingdom residents. They are spiritual fruit which are a result of the infilling of the Holy Spirit. (These are discussed in detail in another Grace Life Bible College course entitled "Ministry Of The Holy Spirit.")
The world does not consider meek people as conquerors, but God promises the meek will inherit the earth:
Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)
