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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
