May 14, 2019 CAC LIVING WATER DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE : TOPIC - THE DANGER OF PRIDE

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

TOPIC - THE DANGER OF PRIDE

Read: 2 Chronicles 26:15-20

MEMORISE: But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense_ (2 Chronicles 26:16).


EXPOSITION
Uzziah’s fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped, until he became powerful. But after he became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. Uzziah failed to realise that all he had accomplished had been with the help of God and others; the result was pride, which led him into the sin of presumption and unfaithfulness.

Someone has said that human being is the only animal that you can pat on the back and his head swells up. Uzziah started believing his own press clippings and his pride, led to a fall. In one hour, he ruined a prosperous lifetime as a successful king. When Uzziah became strong, his heart was lifted up, and that led him to enter the holy place in the temple to offer incense to the Lord. But the Law of Moses restricted that duty to the priests, and Uzziah was not a priest *(Num. 18:1-7).*

When people have power, they often think they can live above the law. No matter your position in the society, God expects you to honour, worship, and obey Him. If God had given you wealth, influence, popularity, and power, be thankful, but be careful. God hates pride. While it is normal to feel elated when we accomplish something, it is wrong to be disdained to God, or to look down on others. Check your attitude and remember to give God the credit for what you have. Learn from Uzziah and always use your gifts in ways that please God.

PRAYER POINTS
1. O Lord, purge me of every manifestation of pride, so that I won’t become Your enemy at the end.
2. You spirit of arrogance, out of my life, now, in Jesus’ name.
3. Lord, purge our national and societal leaders of the pride making so many of them to trample on the masses with impunity.

EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: 2 Sam. 19:1 – 20:21; John 1:27 – 1:48
