Topic: Get Rid Of Pride 

Thursday 7th August

Text: Daniel 4: 30 – 32 
Key verse: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” Philippians 2: 3 
Get ride 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. Although He is God Almighty, when He came into this world for human salvation, He chose to be born of poor parents in the lowest place; a manger. He emptied Himself 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 on 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 thought, words, looks and action. 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 His greatness in this life and in the life to come.

Thought for the day: God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 

Song for the day: Wash me O lamb of God

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 12-14

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
