SIGNS OF PRIDE

By -



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

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
