PRIDE: PART 1.
By
Eze Gilbert
James 4:6 KJV
But he giveth more grace. Where for he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
This thing called *Pride* can be defined as an excessive preoccupation with self and one's own importance, achievements, status and/or possessions.
And God hates it.
When the scripture above says that God resists the proud, it means that He blocks his ways spiritually and does not allow him make further advancements seeing that the little he has is self centred and does not give Him glory.
There is this argument that goes on about if a person can be proud without knowing it.
If you are asked, I know you will definitely have your own response.
But we shall be x-raying the qualities of a proud person in the coming parts, so that if you have any of the traits, you will better change or risk being limited/resisted for life as God will never allow a proud person to advance further.
Before then, it's important we begin to look inwards and search out ways we have esteemed ourselves more than others and begin to make amends.
