TOPIC : PRIDE, A DESTINY KILLER
TEXT 1 peter 5:5-6
[5]Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
[6]Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Pride is self exaltation.
It is lifting oneself above all, including above God.
It was pride that got Lucifer into trouble and had him demoted to Satan.
In Isaiah 14:12-15 the scripture said,
"12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."
If you want to predict your future accurately, just check if you are operating in pride.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
