Lucifer: The glory, pride and fall

Reading: Ezekiel 28 vs 13-19kjv

Key verse: 17kjv

Decked with an irresistible array of precious stones that were weaved flawlessly providing a covering that is immortal to behold. The perfections and other eternal, magnificent features he possesses earned him son of the morning. Then a moment came, he felt he has it all that it will be too low of him to serve His Master. He became sick, that of the mind. The tail end of that was tragic. For it corrupted his heart. He began to entertain the thoughts of being like God. And it was there he embarked on a fall of no rise.

Pride, corrupted, devoured and destroyed Lucifer. Wisdom was turned to craftiness, acceptable service to profane service, anointed cherub to eternally doom devil.      He lost his place and eternal abode with God.

The glory you exude today should not get into your head. You may be a beauty to behold or handsome or rich to a fault or brilliant to the core or possess all the goodies people crave for in life. Don’t let what you have to get into your head.

Yes, the possibility of people revering you is there but do well to divert it all to God because whatever you are is not by your strength or might is all by His grace.

 The possibility of objection is there but if you think it deeply on the light of the WORD of God you will understand wholly and completely that if there isn’t life/sturdy health you wouldn’t have achieve whatever you achieve.

Pride leads to a fall. God does well to always resist the proud.

He resisted Lucifer and He will always resist as many that will take that path.

 

Thoughts: What do you have that you didn’t receive? Is it beauty, riches, affluent background, intellectual prowess? Do you prefer God humbling you or you humbling yourself?

Prayers: God give me the grace to always remain humble and submissive to you irrespective of whatever height I may attain. This I ask in Jesus Name
