SYMPTOMS OF PRIDE

Pride Has No Sense Of Reverence For Anybody

One of the symptoms of pride is that, the carrier of pride will have no sense of reverence or respect, no matter how little for anybody both young and old.

The most dangerous bad attitude in life is Pride. Because it can reduce a man's life to zero.

Recently, I was mentioning to a group of people that, whosoever is older than someone has a special grace and influence over him/her, even if it is just a week. If you disrespect such fellow, the age will ask you. This is one of the reasons why so many people have remained unprosperous in life, they are full of pride, they find it so difficult to reverence the elders,their leaders, especially their Spiritual leaders, they disrespect any and everyone.

If any man must be fulfilled and successful in life, He does not only need to be serious and hard-working, he also needs to take all the life Principles for greatness very serious. However, one of the life Principles for greatness is that we should respect and give honour to the elders, but it is a very difficult thing for a proud man to reverence anybody.

Even God that created us knows how vital is the issue of Respect for elders, therefore when He was dictating His laws to His chosen, the Israelites, He said "Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD." Leviticus 19:32.

It is a truth that a proud man can not be great because of his act of disrespect for God, In that bible verse, God said when you respect this aged people, you Revere(Respect) me also. So, anyman who does not respect God can not walk in the Light of His favour and no God's Favour no greatness in life. Again, if anyman is great and allows pride to creep into his life, such a man will fall flat beyond repair.

Youths especially need to take these things very serious because it is very common and easy for youths to disobey and disrespect elders. It takes the mercy of God for any youth who finds pleasure in disrespecting and being proud to the elders to be great in life.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them) Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal. Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal. Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....

The Best Way To Fight Against Poverty

Poverty simply means lack of basic necessities of life. It means being poor in a specific aspect. Meaning that, one could be poor financially (Financial Poverty), spiritually (Spiritual Poverty), intellectually (Intellectual Poverty), morally (Moral Poverty). Appearantly, the major focus of the world is financial poverty. You are seen as being poor when you are broke. However, being broke is not the source nor the head of poverty. A man may be financially poor but intellectually, spiritually and morally rich. I often say it that, "money is not all man needs for life". So, if all you have or crave for is money, you are still a pauper. Financial Poverty is one of the strongest tools of the devil to win people into his kingdom. It is so strong that, even the so called "annointed of the Lord" are falling into the devil's trap through the tool. Our society, especially a country like Nigeria where majority of the citizens are subjected to financial povert...
