Pride

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Pride

“When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2

“Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.” Proverbs 13:10

“A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.” Proverbs 29:23

Pride is revealed in these verses as an element of human attitude that is destructive and negative. Isn’t this contrary to the way the world looks at things? It is true, the word of God does not line up with the ways of the world. However, some day the world will be gone but the word of God will still be around.

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35

Pride is a false image of the real you and therefore can do nothing to bless you. Oh, you may fool some people to get what you want but rest assured they will find out in due time what you really are and then you will go down in their eyes. Pride is so destructive because it leads a man or woman into living a lie. I know, we are getting pretty heavy right at the first but the only way to deal with this subject is to get right to the point.
You can be free from the negative effects of pride and I pray that this lesson will help you to that end.

LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST, TEACH ME TO LIVE RIGHTLY AND BE CONTEMPTED WITH WHOM YOU MAKE ME IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
