Obadiah 1:3-4 NKJV
The pride of your heart has deceived you, You who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high; You who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’ Though you ascend as high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord .

† Shalom †......! Day #13. Do you know that when our hearts are filled with pride, we are actually on the edge of falling down if we don't realize and repent? Let us pray. Father, forgive us for not heeding Your corrections and rebukes. Remove the pride from our hearts Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!
Friends, we are walking this 13th day of 2015 in the grace of God therefore let us remove everything that's against the Lord in our lives. The area which I'm going to touch today is PRIDE. Pride is a weapon of mass destruction. It is capable of destroying us from the plans and purposes of God. Pride isn't good for our spiritual growth and walk with God. Personally, I will not work with those who are filled with pride and ego. Sometimes they think they are so experienced in ministry until they despise those who are beginning to serve, they look down on them because of pride. When an unknown person has gained a name and fame in the ministry they tend to despise humble request.
Pride is a silent killer. And God is warning ⚠ us today saying that, "The pride of your heart has deceived you, You who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high; You who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’ Though you ascend as high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord." Yeah it is indeed scary. If the Lord brings you down, I'm sorry to say, it will be a hard one. It is not that God envies you and dont like you to be on top, or be successful. It is because God knows what we would become if we continue to have this stubbornness pride in us. Every success has a humble beginnings, the question is that are we able to remain humble when God has taken us from glory to glory, from faith to faith? I once asked a well know Christian artist... " Shalom and blessed Christmas 🎄 to you Bro.... Just a humble request... Can u make a rock version cover of Oh Holy night?" And you know what was the response? It was so overwhelming... Fuuhhhh... Until today there's no reply from this person.... Nevermind, may be he is busy and have no time to entertain this humble request... Pride kills, although it may seems to be good. That kind of a feeling it gives, felling puffed up. Beware, lest we dig our own grave and fall into it. Gbu.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
