Pride Goeth Before DestructionSample

The Reward of Pride. 

Notice that the Bible speaks of pride as a precursor to destruction: “Pride goeth before destruction...” Pride is an indication that failure is near. You can’t do anything without God. Your gifts, skillset, talents and abilities all come from Him. In fact He’s given you the strength to build. He’s given you the Power to advance. God is the one who releases authority on Earth through man. Favor comes from God. Wisdom comes from God. He is our Source. Pride is deceitful and will cause you to fall. 

John‬ ‭15:4-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ states, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” Don’t whither and wander in the wilderness — choose to submit and connect with God. Destroy pride. Surrender to Him. Without God you can do nothing.

Prayer:

Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I repent and I choose to turn to You. Father, I surrender my heart to You. I surrender my hands to You. Father, I surrender my skills, gifts, talents and abilities to You. Father, I repent from every prideful action, thought and desire. Father, I choose to humble myself and turn to You. In You I am set free and I let go and release every form of pride, bitterness, rejection and anything that’s not like You. 

Favor comes from You. Promotion comes from You. You are my Source and Strength. Through You I have dominion. Without You I am nothing. With You I have victory. I surrender to You in every area of my life. In Jesus Name. Amen.
