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
