BEWARE OF PRIDE

1PETER 5:5

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."

STUDY||EZEKIEL 28:11-19

Pride is one of the most dangerous vices the enemy use against believers. Many mighty men and women have fallen because of pride. Great leaders have been humiliated and disgraced just because of pride. Many anointed man and women of God have fallen from grace because of pride. If you must walk with God and be successful you must deal with pride.

God himself resist the proud. His Spirit, is nature and character is totally against the proud. He cannot stand the proud. God ensures that the proud never gets to the top. He ensure they are destroyed before their time. Could it be that the reason you are not making progress is because of pride.

Proverbs 15:25The Lord will destroy the house of the proud, but He will establish the boundary of the widow.

Pride is parading yourself as better than others. It is ascribing your success to your effort instead of ascribing it to God. It’s is exalting yourself more than it’s due. It is thinking you can do without God, pride starts from the heart. A good example is Lucifer. He was thrown down because of pride.

Beware of pride. Allow the spirit of humility work in you. Don’t allow your achievements, beauty, power or wealth gets into your head. Always ascribe to God all that you are and you have.

PRAYER

Lord put in me the Spirit of humility, remove every element of pride in me totally.
