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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
