Pride an enemy of mankind

One of the surest ways to fall is to allow pride to rule your life.Nebuchadnezzar was king of the powerful babylonian empire.He had seen the mighty power of God on many occasions yet his heart remained proud.Archaelogical excavations reveal that Nebuchadnezzar's babylon was truly incredible.King saul fell because of pride and arrogance, puffed up by pride and blinded by jealousy, Saul on numerous occasions disobeyed the Lord.This resulted in his eventual judgement and destruction.There are countless illustrations throughout history of skeptics, atheists, dictators, rock stars, athletes, and many others who became proud and brazenly boasted and bragged in the flesh-for a while.Eventually, their tongues were silenced.The historical records are strewn with the tragedies of these people.Remember the Bible says that the world and its desires will pass away.........and we have been called to be faithful not successful.Be Careful! ! !

As believers, when we sin little sins, the Holy Spirit always pricks our heart. That's if your conscience is not yet dead due to continual disobedience. Some of us have affected the blessings God proposed to bring our...
