PRIDE AS A CASE STUDY : Please detach from pride if you are the type who feel ontop of the world,because it will never do you any good.I have been mandated to enlighten us on this issue before now.Pride is a disease that is incurable except with Gods intervention.Proud men and women hardly believe in what God can do for them.They believe,relay and as well as depend on what they think they can do.They hardly addmit their mistakes,always feeling pompouse even when they are nothing. For ladys if you happen to come incontact with those whom God has endowed with little beauty you will realize exactly what am saying, they behave as if they created themselves forgetting what the holy scripture told us that we are like grass before Gods eyes,in the morning we blossom and in the evening we fade. same thing applies to men but that of women is nothing to write home about.St. Paul shouted when he saw how people were priding in our sacred scripture that what do you think you have that is not a gift from God,is it your beauty,money,handsomeness,your elegant looking appearance,riches,connections and contacts,wisdom,e.t.c are all gift from God and these various gifts are not meant to intimidate others or to look down on others who are not priviledged to have them rather use it to serve God and humanity.Your beauty suppose to serve as a channell of consolation to those who are not priviledged to be as beauty as you are.Do not isolate them or make them feel inferior even when they tend to do so caution them and make them to realize that every body is beautifully made by giving them bible quotations that will back your claims ok.The same thing applies to your riches,let it also serve as a channell to those you are betteroff ok.Remember it was pride that made God to disown the first king of israelite whose name is Saul.Immediately pride entered him the glory(Grace) of God left him instanta.That is the implication of a proud man or women,the grace of God will definitely leave you .Proud men or women hardly heaken to the voice of God through his prophets,just like in the case of biblical saul when samuel told him the wrong he has done instead of showing remorse he was there questioning Gods mouth peice.This is to tell you that those who pride never addmit simple mistake.If you are in this category desist from it and ask God to cloth you with a garment of humility. Please learn to be humble before God and before men it will pay you more and Gods blessings will shower upon you.I pray that God should root out every spirit of vices in us and cloth us with the garment of virtues through christ our Lord. Amen and amen.God bless you all as you reflect. Our memory verse is (luke18vs14).Thank You.
