The pride of our heart...!

Jeremiah 49:16 NKJV

Your fierceness has deceived you, The pride of your heart, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Who hold the height of the hill! Though you make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord .

Shalom!  Day #213. Do you know that pride is the very reason why human fall? Let's pray. Father,  forgive us for being so prideful of the things we do, we have, we say. Lord teach us to humble ourselves to You first, then to one another. Father, let not our lives be controlled by pride of our heart, but be governed by Your humility and you grace. In Jesus name we ask and pray,  amen!

God has been speaking to me about the priden of our heart. I'm referring to bad kind of pride. Pride is God given. Pride in the good things of our life. Pride is God's glory in a person.  But when pride becomes a means to achieve its own end, then the pride becomes sin. I believe that God is in process to destroy pride in the hearts of the believers, because God knows that pride is a deadly weapon used by the devil to hinder people from repentance. Pride, the selfishness of heart. The BIG E.G.O beneath pride. It's a silent killer. I like watching Transformers the animated series.  The deceptions leader,  Megatron is filled with selfish ambitions in taking over cybertron and also the earth. But in the end, his pride brought him destruction.  Whereas Optimus Prime is full of humbleness and possesses a good leadership quality. Jesus is the Son of God, yet, He did not allow pride to take over His heart. He is the great example of a servant leader! Humbleness and submission to God the Father. Pride is a dangerous weapon that the devil infuses into a believers life. He or she is in danger zone if they aren't bothered about it. From pride comes destruction. Pride is te opposite of humbleness,  submission, obey. A person who profess to know Jesus, yet he or she denies it through their works. We can be Christians, but then if we care less about this spirit of pride, it will destroy us. We need to identify it and pray and let God to deliver us from this. It may be generational curse and not many know this truth. 

Pride keeps us from admitting sin. Pride blinds us to our faults. Pride is an obstacle to our faith in Jesus. Pride makes us self-righteous.  Pride is an ingredient in every argument.  Pride keeps us from asking others for help or advice. Knowingly or unknowingly each one of us do have this pride. What are we doing about it?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
