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. (1 Samuel 15:28)

TRUTH NUMBER 2. BE HUMBLE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING ON YOUR OWN. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY SOMEBODY ELSE. (1 Corinthians 4:7)

TRUTH NUMBER 3. BE HUMBLE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT INDISPENSABLE. ANYTIME GOD CAN APPOINT ANYBODY TO REPLACE YOU. (1 Kings 2:35)

TRUTH NUMBER 4. HUMILITY COMES WHEN YOU STOP COMPARING YOURSELF AND START BEING GRATEFUL WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.

= PRAYER = PRAYER = PRAYER =

Lord Jesus Christ, create in me a humble heart ...

SO SHALL IT BE!

JESUS IS LORD!
