THE PRIDE OF MAN IS NEGATING THE PRIZE OF GOD due to man’s prideful nature. He is unaware and slowly giving up all the perks and benefits, set in place by our Saviour, for himself, as the prize of God; not realizing his position, power, and purpose in God’s awesome plan. Oh how YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, loves us!
Psalm 100:3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Understand and become knowledgeable of the Lord, Who He is and what He has done, is doing, and will do for you and me. Our Father will never change. From one day to the next He is the same. (Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever). The pride of man leads to all sorts of conflicts and confusion AND IT IS TRULY THE ENEMY OF GOD. It interrupts the natural flow of God’s will; as His prized possession He wants us to live a long, prosperous, and loving life. But the enemy has set pride in the heart of man which is negating the status we have with our Father. But God, loved us when we did not exist nor deserved it, brought us out of our valleys, out of past tribulations, troubles, and trials, onto the mountain top: He will do it again because He loves us and miracles are still His specialty. As we look out over the beauty of the land and see the river of God’s Love, that flows with calm and cool waters, satisfying our soul we know that our God, Jehovah, looks at the hearts of men and determines where he goes. Our God is the greatest, none greater. (1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart).
Know this, since He is the One Who made us, we did not have a say in how we look, gender, color, nationality, who our family is, etc., those were specifics to Him and Him only. He knows every inch of our being, how it works or when it is ready to break down, what we say and do before it is done, everything about you. God is so good. And if you are truly a child of God, you know Whose you are, Who is your guide and where you reside: in His care, under His wings, in His arms, close to His heart. (His pasture which incorporates all of our situations in life). Therefore, bearing the load of a prideful man (don’t need Jesus) negates the Truth; we, the ones who come and are committed, are His sheep and prized possession, whom He loves dearly. Now is the time to lay aside all indication of pridefulness and the sins that comes with it and return YHWH, God’s love to Him, find the strength to truly love ourselves, and treasure the act of obedience to give it away to others. And stop trying to invalidate and make God’s creation ineffective. (Matthew 10:30-32 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world).
YHWH, God, is the only God, there is no other and we should feel privileged to be loved by Him. He could have called any other creature of His creations to be His chosen one, but He chose man. He made us in His own image because that is how much He loves us. He could have made us look like anything else, but He chose to create us in His image. That is why we should study the nature of our Father (Word), so you will get a better understanding of how He works (we will never understand the total mystery but will get what is needed while on earth; it will be revealed once we get to heaven) and how He works in and through us. This connection with YHWH, God through Yashuah, Jesus is and will always be your guide and safety line when you have a problem or just need the unconditional love, He has for us; once you have made the commitment to serve Him with heart and soul.
Pride is a major monkey on the back of men today. Because the things he does or accomplishes take an unnatural turn into self-absorbed respect, improper, and excessive self-esteem known as conceit or arrogance. And when a person becomes too proud his negative sense evolves in him, he transforms into a sinful individual, who try and shift the ultimate power and confidence from God to self. Most of man’s conditions, circumstances, and situations, have been induced by his ongoing incessive bullying, and being too proud of himself (which is okay to a healthy degree). But this pride has resulted in problems which could have been avoided if he had not, in his mind, swept God, Who is Love, under the rug of his life; now he, man, is attempting to take the rein of life (since he is prideful piece of work), and wants all others to blindly follow. (Mark 7:20-23 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits).
We see that it is not our Father who changes, nor is it the physical world that gives man grief but man himself, with his infernal pride. He grieves the Holy Spirit every time he does something contrary to God’s will, which is every day. The moment our eyes are opened, even when we thank God for waking us up, we go out and start mistreating our fellow man and use the earth as a trash bin, smoke house, and anything else we can find to do to abuse it. Man, God’s prized creation, has set himself on a course to destroy himself. He thinks he’s making things better by introducing all his ideas, plans, and “I-know-what-to-do” he has thought of for society and the world. But most fail because of too much pride and faith in himself; bending and breaking God’s commands which leads to non-conformity in the Word. (Hebrews 13:8-9 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein). 1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.)
In making YAH the center of our lives, through study, worship, prayer and praise we are made aware of how love should abound in all areas of life and pride should be avoided. And because we have been entrenched in God’s pure form of love, (through the death and resurrection of His Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ), we are given the example of our capability of loving one another and forgoing pride. Thus, as we move away from the prideful man, and realize we are God’s prize possession, we allow our lights of genuine love to shine, which pierces through the darkness of our prideful heart and soul and helps us to understand the gray areas that are still plaguing us and realize the goals and dreams we set for ourselves. (Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven).
God’s LIGHT, JESUS, also mentors and monitors the why and how we are to forgo the mistreatment of all our fellow man, brothers and sisters in Christ, people in general through the elimination of pride. The Love of God, through the administration of Yashuah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit causes us to want to set pride and greed aside and work toward a more loving way of settling problems. And when it comes to money- incorporate the balancing of God’s field of hopes, dreams, and goals, for all our brothers and sister, the human race; making the playing field level for all. You may ask what does this has to do with love? Well, all the aforementioned subjects are built from the basis of love, so it has a lot to do with it. Because as long as man continue to do the same thing, hold YHWH, God at bay, out of pride, steadily trying to rid the world of the Truth, Yashuah, Jesus, (which is YHWH, God Who is True Love ) it becomes ludicrous; doing the same thing yet expecting a different result. It is not only classified as insanity but are all tell, tell signs of man’s incompetency. And let us be clear on this subject. God wants us to change our course if it is one of evil. He wants us to move toward His Light of Love, Jesus so we can set a new path; go a better direction than before. Unless we open up to Jesus and let Him into our hearts, we will continue to experience the grips of pride, (the enemy of God) creating a type of insanity, in our lives, as we go around the mountain of our own making which leads to natural and spiritual destruction. (1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life). John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me). (Deuteronomy 2:3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward). (Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death).
GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
