MORNING GLORY 💥

Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”

THIS CANCER CALLED "PRIDE"

Pride is a grievous sin. It can sometimes be visible and yet inconspicuous. Because it is so deceptive, we are often oblivious to our pride. Awareness of pride is essential since it hinders our relationship with God.

There are 6 forms of pride taught in Scripture that we must recognize but I will discuss just 3 for the sake of this devotion. Because we expect pride when we succeed, the first three forms are more obvious. Since we don’t expect pride when we fail, the second three forms are less conspicuous.

1. Self-exaltation: Pride gives credit to himself.
When a person succeeds and gives himself credit, he is prideful. This is the preacher who says to himself, “I am the greatest.” This is the student who proclaims, “I am the smartest.” This is the politician who brags, “I am the sole reason for our success.”

God reminds us that every good thing comes from him.(James 1:16-17)

2. Self-promotion: Pride welcomes credit from others.
Instead of exulting himself, some let others exalt him. But accepting credit from others is another form of pride. When we put forth our virtue and success so that others complement us, we are being prideful. Jesus chided those who paraded their righteous behavior to promote attention. (Matt 6:1-2)

3. Self-justification: Pride expects credit from God Himself.
We should avoid seeking God’s admiration. Expecting credit from God is another form of pride.
There is nothing honorable or virtuous within ourselves. We are utterly sinful, it is by his Grace we are saved. We did nothing for our salvation. (Matthew 5:3)

We must trust God to be humble at heart of we must have a good relationship with God.

PRAYER 🙏
📌 Thank you Abba for a day like this, I slept and woke up, it's by your grace.
📌LORD grant me a heart of humility in Jesus name.
📌Help me not to focus on my achievements or my failures LORD in Jesus name

MORNING GLORY 💥

Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

To be anxious for nothing means to not be weighed down by the cares of this world. It’s a command from God to not allow anything to steal our peace or joy.

This doesn’t mean that we will never experience negative emotions or that life will be perfect. It means that we can trust God with whatever comes our way and find strength in Him during difficult times.

In essence, being "anxious for nothing" is an invitation to cultivate a mindset of trust, prayer, and gratitude in your relationship with God.

It acknowledges that, while life may bring challenges and concerns, there is an enduring source of peace and support in your faith.

It doesn't mean avoiding all concerns or ignoring legitimate issues, but rather, it encourages a mindset of turning to prayer and seeking God's guidance and comfort when worries arise.

When Paul and Silaz where arrested and casted into prison for preaching Christ, they were not worried neither did they complain to God. But they prayed and sang songs of Thanksgiving to the Lord and their deliverance came.

I know you might be going through a season of turbulence now, remember to take everything to God in prayer through Thanksgiving 🙏

Let Us Pray 🗣️

📌 Our Father in heaven Hallow be thy name.
📌 Thank you for everything you have done for me all this years.
📌I know I might not be in my best seasons now, but I know all things work together for my good.
📌 Thank you for the Testimonies I'm expecting.

Have a blessed week ahead

MORNING GLORY 💥

Jer.17.7 - Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Jer.17.8 - For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

TRUSTING IN THE LORD!

At the start of his ministry, Jeremiah had been warned that the people would not listen to his message, and the guilt of the nation stands in stark contrast with the innocence of this solitary prophet of God. So the man of God began to lament

Trusting the Lord is simply believing that the one and only Way God has provided for fallen man to be saved, is through the sacrificial death and glorious resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is having faith in the unchangeable Truth that God has opened up for us in the Scriptures, and has revealed to us through His only begotten Son. It is accepting, as an unchangeable fact, that the Life which God imparted to us through the Lord Jesus Christ, will save to the uttermost.

It pleases the very heart of God when His children depend on Him utterly, believe in His Word, and trust in His Son for Salvation, for without having faith in Who He is and what He had said, it is impossible to please Him.

Without faith we are ships without a rudder that are tossed and adrift on the merciless sea of life, for the one who draws near to God must believe that He exists and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Trusting in God and hoping in the Lord is simply believing the reality of all that He has disclosed to us in His Word. It is accepting as fact all that God has revealed to us in the Bible. It is trusting all that has been revealed in Scripture about our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

PRAYER 🙏
📌 Thank you Father for blessing me with a new day
📌 LORD help me to put my trust in you and you alone. Amen

Have a blessed week ahead 🙏
