PRIDE vs HUMILITY (podcast)

pride

Anyone who lays a strong emphasis on the word “I” is a proud person. Satan lost his beautiful position in heaven because of “I”. Anyone who intends to satisfy God must be humble; his emphasis must be in “Him” (That is, in Christ Jesus!)

Satan is a prime example of pride. He initiated pride and fell for the sake. Satan lost his position in heaven because of pride.

“And war broke out in heaven… So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12:7-9).

Just as Satan is an example of pride so is Jesus an example of humility.

Jesus Christ is the prime example of humility. He humbled himself and was willing to do the will of God at all costs. (Revelation 5:1-4; Philippians 2:5-8). Therefore, God awarded him the highest honor as the king of the entire universe (earth and heaven inclusive).

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven, on earth, and under the earth…” (Philippians 2:9-11).

God debased Satan to the lowest part of the earth with a promise to eternally condemned him to hell fire on the last day.

Be humble! Aspire to live your life in Christ Jesus; train your mind to declare, “I am what I am by the grace of God!”

Emulate Jesus Christ who is the prime example of humility.

Make humility your lifestyle to enjoy God’s premium benefits in every aspect of your life.
