PRIDE PROMOTES STRIFE

HOW DOES PRIDE PROMOTE STRIFE?

A PROUD PERSON CONVINCES HIMSELF THAT HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT AND OTHERS ARE WRONG. A PROUD PERSON WILL ALWAYS LOOK DOWN UPON OTHERS AND SPEAKS TO THEM IN A CONDESCENDING WAY. HE NEVER LEARNS, HOWEVER HE KEEPS OFFENDING PEOPLE CAUSING DISUNITY BECAUSE HE DOES NOT SEE A REASON TO CHANGE.

PROVERBS 13: 10

BY PRIDE COMES NOTHING BUT STRIFE , BUT THE WELL ADVISED IS WISDOM.

A PERSON WHO IS WISE WILL ALWAYS KEEP HIMSELF OR HERSELF AWAY FROM ANY CONVERSATION ,HE OR SHE WILL BE SILENT AND LISTEN , THEY WILL SPEAK ONLY IF ASKED TO, YET AT TIMES THEY WILL EVADE IT AND WALK AWAY FROM THAT PLACE.

 PROVERBS 16: 5

“THE LORD  DETESTS ALL THE PROUD OF HEART, BE SURE OF THIS: THEY WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED”.

GOD HATES PRIDE, ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT COME FROM GOD COMES FROM THE DEVIL. IT IS A SERIOUS SIN, WE MUST LEARN TO HATE WHAT GOD HATES AND TO  LOVE WHAT GOD LOVES.

JAMES 4:6

“ BUT HE GIVES US MORE GRACE. THAT IS WHY SCRIPTURE SAYS:“GOD OPPOSES THE PROUD BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”

WHEN ONE HUMBLES HIMSELF/HERSELF THEY ARE SURE TO BE EXALTED: BUT IF YOU EXALT YOURSELF GOD WILL SURELY HUMBLE YOU.

PRAYER:

FATHER GOD MAY I FIRST LEARN TO WALK IN AWE AND FEAR OF YOU, MAY I NOT BE PUFFED UP WITH PRIDE LEST I FALL AND BE MADE  SHAMEFUL BEFORE ALL. MAY I LEARN TO LOVE AND RESPECT EVERYONE, IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN AMEN AND AMEN.
