TOPIC: GET RID OF PRIDE 
NOVEMBER Tuesday 20th
TEXT: Philippians 2: 1-5
KEY VERSE: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. James 4: 6
Pride is the father of all sins, as the devil is the father of all sinners. Pride is first a thought in the heart which manifests in words, looks and actions. It is a self-made ego or upliftment. The proud man sees himself great, important and better than many. Because of pride in his heart, he looks down on others. He exaggerates his personality and practically lies to earn more honour, respect and recognition of men. He envies those who are better, greater, higher and more intelligent than him.
The proud man celebrates his achievement so greatly without regard to the God of heaven. He announces his good deeds for human recognition and praise. He speaks proudly and arrogantly. He is boastful. The proud man attracts divine judgment speedily. Satan is the originator of pride. He brought pride into the world and by pride destroyed mankind in the world. Pride will remove God’s presence and glory from you. Pride will destroy all the goodly properties in your life and will damn you to everlasting hell fire.
Jesus is the originator of humility, even though He is God Almighty, when He chose to be born into this world for human salvation, He chose to be born of poor parents. His birth took place in the lowest place, the manger! He emptied Hmself of the property of God and became human being. He made Himself to serve as a servant, even of men. He was humble and obedient to the point of dying the death of the cross! Let this humble spirit of Jesus be in you.
Go to God in prayer to save you from pride and make you humble. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Resist pride in your thoughts, words, looks and actions. Give honour and respect to people. Give glory to God for everything in your life. Be nothing in your own sight. Speak in a humble way. Make humble choices. Avoid carnal competition with others. Remain permanently with Christ in His humility. In this way you will enjoy greatness in this life and in the life to come.
Thought for the day: Remain permanently with Christ in His humility.
Song for the day: What a mighty God we serve
Bible reading of the day:
Ezekiel 22-23; James 2

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
