PRIDE!!!!!

-


1 Samuel 2:3
Talk no more exceedingly proudly, let not arrogance come out of your mouth; for the LORD is a GOD of knowledge and by Him all actions are weighed.

A lot of people most especially youths of today are full of PRIDE. Majority forget so easily that they were once like common people.They have allowed their leadership position (s) get into their head. For some who are not even holding any leadership position but are privileged in certain areas feel they are on top of the world.
remember what the Bible says in the scripture above ; ONLY GOD GIVES KNOWLEDGE, ONLY HIM GIVES UNDERSTANDING, ONLY GOD EXALTS A MAN.
1 Samuel 2:6-8
The Lord kills and makes alive, He brings down to the grave and brings up, the Lord makes poor and makes rich, the Lord lifts up; The Lord raises the poor out of the dust and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill to set  them among princes and to make them inherit the Throne of Glory ; for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he hath set the world upon them.

A lot of people are full of PRIDE because of their Achievements in life. They forget so easily that only God can help a man achieve his goals in life. A lot of them makes themselves gods before their fellow men. They  make life unbearable for them by using them/trampling on them.
Do not forget that every of your potentials, every of your talent that God has given to you is meant to be used to help others. it is meant to help some other people attain greater heights and discover purpose for their
lives.
Because you have a talent/gift in motivating people, when they turn to you for help, you keep turning them down saying that you don't have time. you prefer to associate yourself with people with a higher class and social status forgetting so quickly  how you started your race in life.
God is watching you. if you don't use that talent well, He will raise people who will use it well.
I perfectly understand that a lot of people can take you for granted when you render assistant or you are being faithful to them but do not compromise. Look unto the Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your Faith. He will give give you strength when you are weak. He will make you strong and you will continue to do exploits.
The People who take you for a fool by making you feel bad when you help them will realize it sooner or later and will see how they have been hurting themselves instead.

Remember Proverbs 16:18 says 

'Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall'
God is able to make a poor man rich if He is diligent in his works. A man should not exalt himself. God is to be exalted at all times.
Humble yourself before God and in everything you do..practice Humility.
HUMBLENESS IS THE BEST OPTION TO FIGHT PRIDE

THE BROKEN CALABASH

I want to take a journey back into the ancient times, the times of our fore fathers. When there was no technology or any form of advancement in the world, when things were done according to our culture and tradition.              My mum explained to me how marriage rites were carried out. How a woman is meant to keep herself and remain a virgin before marriage. She also explained to me how the groom’s family pays a woman’s dowry/bride price and takes items to the bride’s parent. Am sure some of you know this history.              After the marriage ceremony, the man always return back to his people and the brides people to tell them if his wife is a virgin or not. if the wife is a virgin, after the first intercourse on the wedding night, he uses a white piece of cloth to clean the blood that comes from the woman’s sexual organ. He then takes the piece of cloth to his family and the bride’s parent telling them he married a complete woman. But if he did not meet her as a virgin, he

A FULL HOUSEWIFE, A HELPMEET OR BOTH?

Feminist have come up with theories expressing the need for gender equality between a man and a woman. Although most of these theories have been countered several times, we can’t still rule out the fact that the position of a woman in the family, society and nation is a great one. Permit me to say women are the salt of the world. They make life sweeter when they are added in the right proportion and when treated otherwise you can imagine what the result will be. Without their presence everything becomes sour. The position of a woman in a home cannot be overemphasized, they run and manage the affairs of the home which include taking care of the husband, children, cooking meals, attending to guests and extended family members, buying items needed for everyday life and the list is endless. Although some husbands try as much as they can to help out in doing some of these things while some totally feel it’s the duty of a wife and they never help out. The attitudes of some of thes

THE HUMAN NATURE

I was in church, then suddenly after a short message was preached, a pastor gave me a scripture   (Galatians 5:19) and immediately after I received it, rapture took place and I woke up immediately. I wasn’t very shocked because it wasn’t the first time I would dream about rapture but I asked what about this scripture.         This scripture inspired me to write this: Galatians 5:19(GNT)”what human nature does is quite plain, it shows itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions”. Human nature: the ways of behaving, thinking and feeling  that are shared by most people and are considered to be normal. After much thinking and pondering about this scripture and the definition of the Human nature, I realize that majority of the things considered as normal by people are actually very abnormal. This scripture explains that what human nature does is quite plain, very obvious for all to see, it manifest or show itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions. IMMORAL: (of people and the
