SIGNS OF PRIDE




Mt 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Pride hinders us from growing higher in life; financially, maritally, spiritually and in every other way possible way. Pride caused the fall of Lucifer and it would cause the fall of anyone who isn’t humble. No matter how much we pray and fast and sow seeds, we won’t get a better life or get to the next level of God’s purpose for us till we become humble.
What’s pride? Pride according to our memory verse is when we exalt ourselves.
How do you know you are proud?
1.    You’ll be noticing pride in others: a proud man easily sees others as being proud. In life, you only see who you are in others.
2.    You’ll easily get angry when not noticed: when people don’t notice you in anyway, maybe what you deed, what you have, what you put on etc. you’ll be angry
3.    You’ll want to create class distinction: you’ll find it difficult to mixed up with everyone, you’ll want to associate with only certain kind of people and neglect others.
4.    You’ll find it difficult to accept wrong doing: a proud person only sees where he did rightly and refuses to notice where he went wrong. He doesn’t surrender to corrections and instructions.
5.    You’ll be busy criticizing others: a proud man thinks of himself as being better and therefore criticizes others for not been as good as he thinks of himself.
6.    You’ll think you only deserve the best: a proud man doesn’t think beyond himself, he thinks he alone deserves the best and gets angry when others gets what he so desire for.
1Pe 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you.
When you humble yourself, you needn’t pray for anything you are ripe for in life before you get it. The bible says, in due time meaning whenever it’s the season for anything in your life that you’ll get it.
God bless you
