PRIDE: PART 2 - Who is a proud person?
By
Eze Gilbert
Jeremiah 48:29 KJV
We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
He is an arrogant person.
He lifts himself up unnecessarily because of the few things (benefits) God has given to him/her to enjoy in life.
According to Engr. John S., Pride, whether openly displayed or quietly done is intended for, or portrays showmanship, arrogance, fake ego and self esteem. It is a pretence of feeling good, important, worthy or valuable in the eyes of people. In most cases the proud people do know that the people they are falsely impressing are very much aware of their fake might, wealth, importance etc. People calmly admit, support or accept the pride on the surface for fear of oppression, denial of certain benefits, for the sake of peace and other sundry reasons. The proud are afraid, shallow and empty within so flagrantly display their wealth, power, influence and prowess just to intimidate others or present themselves as good, kind and considerate as philanthropists.
It cuts across all spheres of life. That means there is scarcely anywhere without them.
Be careful they don't influence your life otherwise you will go through their pains/troubles in due time.
