Message

A man's pride shall bring him low:but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
.

Pride is one of the greatest destroyers of men -especially those who have achieved something great. That means if the devil wants to bring a great man down, he does not have to bother himself sending witches and wizards to that man; all he has to do is bring out the pride in the man. says:

It is not good to eat much honey:so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

Seeking glory for yourself will not bring you glory but shame. Stop seeking people to lift you on their shoulders as if you are the best thing to have come into the world; humble yourself. The devil was once a very special arch-angel in heaven, but pride got into his head because of how beautiful he was. He started seeking glory for himself, even the glory of God’s own throne. He ended up being brought so low that, at the end of time, he will be locked up in the pit of fire to suffer forever.

The prescription of God for every Christian is to prefer others above yourself in honour. says, “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another”.

The day you forget that everything you have is given to you by God is the day you begin to decline. Nebuchadnezzar was warned in like I am warning you now, but he didn’t heed the counsel. Pride rose up in him and he started to boast about the things that God had done through him, calling them his achievements. He was brought so low that he was eating grass with the animals in the bush. says, “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble”. Those who want the grace of God to work in their lives must be humble. Be humble, pride is a destiny destroyer.

Prayer Point

Father, please destroy the root of pride in my life, in Jesus’ name

Hymn

Title: Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour

1. Pass me not, O gentle saviour
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by.

Saviour, Saviour
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by.

2. Let me at thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contribution
Help my unbelief.

3. Trusting only in the Thy merit
would i seek thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
save me by thy grace.

4.Thou, the spring of all my comfort
More than life to me
Whom have I on earth beside Thee
Whom in Heav'n but Thee?
