Focus: The Source of Pride

WORD FOR TODAY
No man lives with the consciousness or orientation that he is nothing without God that will be proud. Pride comes when a man thinks he is something on the account of the grace made available to him by God!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. (Romans 12:3 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whenever a man remember that what he is is by the virtue of God's grace and mercy, he will always humble himself. Pride comes when a man thinks of himself more highly than he or she ought to. No matter how high the position God might have placed us, we must be mindful of the fact that it is Him who crown men with glory and honour.

Queen Vashti thought it was embarrassing for her to display herself at the request of the King. Pharaoh thought that no one can deliver the Israelites from him. Goliath an uncircumcised Philistines defile the armies of the Lord because he thought no one could defeat him. The end of these men came when they felt they are special and have what looks like an advantage over others.

When it seems as if you have a rising profile among men, humble yourself so that God will continue to carry you. Don't live a life that will make God resist you. In everything, you do always take the path of honour by humbling yourself.

+ How do you rate yourself?

Lord! Help me to always remember that you are the reason for whatever I am and whatever I will be in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Pride comes each time a man losses the sense of the fact that he is what he is by the grace of God!!!

Have a Graceful Tuesday!!!
