Key Thoughts On Pride – Seeds Of Destiny SOD 26 November 2020
SCRIPTURE:
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
In our previous study, we saw how Lucifer, who was an arch-angel in heaven, was dethroned and became satan because of pride. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).
Today, I will like you to take note of the following key thoughts on pride:
1. Pride makes a person to become a god to himself (Acts 12:20-24)
Pride makes a man to take the place of God in his own life. It makes people to claim they don’t need God. Pride is the worship of self. There are people who think they are beautiful, and so they worship their beauty. There are those who worship their certificates. Those who think they are intelligent worship their intelligence. Pride is the worship of self.
2. Pride makes a man’s life to revolve around himself
Pride makes everything to revolve around a person. (Isaiah 14:13-14). Anyone you talk with whose vocabulary is full of “I” and “me” and always says things like: “I did this, I just bought this, I just moved to so and so kind of house, I just got”, is manifesting pride, and it is a challenge.
And when a man’s life revolves around himself, he becomes empty of people.
3. Pride makes a person too arrogant to be instructed (Daniel 4:27-33).
A proud man is too arrogant to learn anything. He does not learn anything because he is too arrogant to be instructed. And his arrogance gives rise to his ignorance. So, he has no future.
Beloved, my counsel is, don’t allow your life to be limited by pride.
Remember this: Pride makes a man to take the place of God in his own life.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind not to exist in pride.
2. Ask God to deal with every trace of pride and arrogance in your life.
3. Make the decision to embrace the lifestyle of humility.
