The devil also don’t want anyone to give up in the middle of any quarrel. Even though you know it is not pleasant. Yet something in you doesn’t want you to give up (Proverbs 18:6-7). The Bible says the beginning of strife is like the release of locked water.

PRIDE

Proverbs 16:10-19
Devotional:- “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (V 18) NIV

    Strength is primarily a function of grace. A man is strong because God has granted him the ngrace. That is why you will observe that each man is strong in different areas of life. The area of our strength is simply the area of our grace, and the giver of grace is God. Therefore, it demands that we humble ourselves to retain our grace.

God’s word says, God increases grace to the humble (James 4:6). This means pride is a destroyer of grace. God will withdraw from a proud man. When God withdraws from a man, he will depend on his own strength, which will soon finish. The strength of a man is like the strength of a battery without an alternator of a car. It will soon be used up

King Nebuchadnezzar was truly strong, and he did not realize that it was a function of grace. So he took to pride. And he finally became like an animal until he was humbled.

Friend, pride is a destroyer of strength. It removes people from their place of strength. Always ask for grace to be humble. Don’t let people push you up to puff up. Always take the place of the humble so as not to lose your strength. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always be humble.

“A PROUD MAN IS UNKNOWINGLY DRAINING HIS OWN STRENGTH GRADUALLY”.

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

  DOMINION   Psalms 8:1-9 Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV      At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.
