*HOW TO KILL PRIDE IN THE HEART ?*
We need to internalize those 4 hard biblical truths to kill human pride and build humility of heart.
*TRUTH NUMBER 1*. BE HUMBLE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE BEST. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEWHERE SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU.
Read 1 Samuel 15:28 and pray
*TRUTH NUMBER 2*. BE HUMBLE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING ON YOUR OWN. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY SOMEBODY ELSE.
Read 1 Corinthians 4:7 and pray
*TRUTH NUMBER 3*. BE HUMBLE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT INDISPENSABLE. ANYTIME GOD CAN APPOINT ANYBODY TO REPLACE YOU.
Read 1 Kings 2:35 and pray
*TRUTH NUMBER 4*. HUMILITY COMES WHEN YOU STOP COMPARING YOURSELF AND START BEING GRATEFUL WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.
Read Philippians 4:11 / 1 Timothy 6:8 / Hebrews 13:5 and pray
*= PRAYER = PRAYER = PRAYER =*
Lord Jesus Christ, create in me a humble heart ...
SO SHALL IT BE
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST !
