What is Pride

Labels:

Pride is when you believe you are always correct and have no desire to learn from others.

Unfortunately, many of us are unaware of the potential that awaits us if we can just let go of our pride and follow God's plan. In fact, the Bible goes so far as to warn us that God despises the sin of pride and will punish those who practice it! Let us not consider ourselves "wise in our own eyes," but rather humble and open to learning from God and others! Satan is the king of pride and his children exhibit his characteristics (John 8:44).

We are motivated by pride to exaggerate the importance of our thoughts. It causes us to elevate our opinions and elevates the importance of meeting what we perceive to be our needs, even above God's and, of course, far above our fellowman's.

Signs that you have pride

  • You are slow to apologize or repent to others.
  • You lack acceptance or patience for other people's ideas, issues, or emotions.
  • You appear to have complete control over your life.
  • You have a low opinion of people who react negatively to their ideas or comments.
  • You resent yourself for knowing everything.

How to overcome pride

You can overcome pride by learning to accept other people's corrections. Keep in mind that the devil's downfall was caused by pride. If you humble yourself, the Lord will exalt you.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you.

One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Why You Find It Difficult to Recover Your Destiny

Have you ever felt like something precious was stolen from you—your purpose, your dreams, or even your sense of direction in life? Many people go through seasons where they feel lost, stuck, or unable to step into the future they desire. If you’ve been struggling to recover your destiny, there are often deeper reasons behind it. Let’s explore some spiritual and practical factors that might be making it hard for you to walk in your true calling, especially looking at the role of covenants and agreements. 1. Unresolved Spiritual Covenants and Agreements One major reason people struggle to recover their destiny is because of unseen spiritual agreements or covenants, knowingly or unknowingly entered into. These can include: Family covenants: Sometimes ancestors made pacts for protection, wealth, or power that now affect future generations. Personal agreements: Visiting spiritual practitioners, taking part in certain rituals, or even careless words (“I’ll never succeed”) can create spiritu...

Understanding Destiny Swapping: A Hidden Agenda Over Your Purpose (PART 1)

Have you ever felt like something is off in your life—like you're living a life that doesn’t belong to you?
