Humble vs. Proud
“At the moment you think yourself to be a humble person, you no longer are” – Pastor Adam Summers
Pride is one of the most dangerous sins in the world today, it was the sin that Lucifer first committed in Heaven and today it is a sin that produces more sin. Anger, Offence, strife, false teachings, jealousies, etc, almost always stem from pride.
What is Humility?
Humility is the precursor to all blessings, revivals, and growth.
2nd Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
