MFM Topic for WED 26\07\23:- deal with that pride {2}

Welcome to MFM Devotional 26\07\23

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 134 – 135; Titus 3; Philemon 1

MEMORY VERSE: Proverbs:11:2:
When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
When pride knocks on your door, you need to answer with prayer.

26/7/23 PROPHETIC WORD:
Satanic agenda to enrol you in the school of self-destruction and downfall through pride shall fail woefully, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: James 4:6-10
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

26-7-23 MESSAGE:

God hates pride and the proud. He draws the humble to Himself. In fact, pride creates a vast distance between you and God. Pride is a manifestation of the natural and camal traits in man. A truly born again and Spirit-filled Christian should not be found guilty of this vice.

If truly you are for Christ, then you must necessarily possess a humble heart, the mind of Christ. Unlike the proud man who struggles with his ego, the humble man is at peace with God, himself and his fellow man. Humility is not a sign of weakness but an indication of brokenness in a believer’s life.

You are actually confident and bold in Christ. The Bible tells us that there is nothing we have that has not been given to us by God. It is written repeatedly that we desist from any form of self-praise and self-righteousness. We do not have any power of our own, knowledge, intelligence, abilities or capabilities. All is by the grace of God.

By strength shail no man prevail, except by the mercy of God. It is not by power but by the Spirit of God. These scriptures and more are pointers to the fact that no man can boast of being completely free from the sin of pride. But as you grow in the spirit, you are able to do away with the works of the flesh, one of which is pride.

Above all, beloved, according to scriptures, let him that thinks he stands be careful lest he falls. This simply means that no one can claim to be free from the grip of pride. We sometimes think it or act it. When you boast, exaggerate, or get angry for not being noticed or duly acknowledged for your position, status, level of achievement or spiritual strength, it could mean a subtle demonstration of pride.

The truth is that every angry man is a proud man. All because he or she feels being cheated or disregarded. The Bible wams us against sell-exaltation in Matt.23:12, but if you humble yourself, you shall be exalted and celebrated.

To overcome, therefore, be ready to discipline yourself by dealing with every activity of the flesh in you. Like the apostle Paul, bring it to subjection under the control of the Spirit of God. Pray against the root of pride in your life. Uproot it and cast it out of your life. Finetune your life with the blood of Jesus and the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Ask that the Lord fills you with the Spirit of humility and meekness. Continue thereafter to be watchful and prayerful, lest the root of pride springs up again. Read and meditate on God’s word, and pride would not find a place in your life. Praise the Lord!

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Every manifestation of pride in my life expire now, in the name of Jesus.

2. Activities of the flesh, your end has come, be rendered powerless in my life by the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

3. I refuse to listen to satanic suggestions of I, me and mine, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. By the washing power in the word of God, let my heart be washed clean of every particle of self, in the name of Jesus.

5. I bring my body under subjection to the power of the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus.

6. O God, arise and kill selfish pride in my life, in the name of Jesus.

7. I receive fresh grace and power to live a humble and meek life like Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
