Commit to Memory: “Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.” [Jeremiah 9:23–24 ESV]

The devil has and will never rest to sow the seed of pride especially among the children of light. There is no man the devil cannot attempt to tempt with pride. He did it to Job- a portrait of Holiness in the Old Testament and also to Jesus the New Testament portrait of Holiness. He is never afraid to pass or make an attempt to sow the seed of pride to destroy any Believer. Pride breaks the walls of defence that the Almighty God has built around you. It’s for this reason the Bible says in Proverbs 29:23 ESV

“One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honour.”

Beloved, beware of pride for it goes before a fall. Watch that ego before it cost you doom. This is because of the subtlety of the devil. So watch it, have a sober reflection of your words, deeds, character etc else you are grounded and on the floor for others to trample upon. Stop boasting about your past no matter how great they are, reach for the stars in humility. Know that any time you are proud, you open the door for the enemy to manipulate for your disadvantage every area of your life so Friends, stop breaking the walls that God has built around you. Why? Whoever breaks the wall, the serpent will bite.

Reflection: Any time pride begins to rule and reign in your life what you are actually doing is that you are breaking the walls God has used for your defence.

Prayer Lines: Father, deal with anything and everything that represents pride in my life.
