YOU AND YOUR PRIDE!

"..I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above above the stars of God, I will sit also upon the mount...I will ascend above the heights of the clouds.." Isaiah 14:13-14. My friend, do you have this "I" problem? The classic portrait of pride is Lucifer, Satan, the Devil which is caused his downfall. God is in all out war against PRIDE, do you know that? Litmus test time! 1) You have a tough time accepting, or considering for that matter, suggestion given by colleagues or anyone else. 2) You do not entertain people who challenges you or correct you and you'd rather keep away and maintains a distance. 3) You avoid contact with people whom you think have a higher potential and skill compared to you. 4) You get extremely offended when your associates or team members seek help for complicated cases from your friend and not you. This is what you call "I am invincible pride". Well, God pickles the proud and preserves the foolish. Hey, pride is the only disease that makes everyone sick but the one who has it. TADA. How do I deal with it- you may ask? a) Recognize it buddy. b) Repent of it- do something about it before God does. c) Fight it everyday. Hey hey, soon after your body has been lowered into the grave, your family, friends, your co-believers will be eating fried chicken, chicken biriani, eating desserts, cracking jokes and you will be history. OUCH but it is true.
