Key Verse

  “Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion…” (Isaiah 3:16-17).

Text — Isaiah 3:14-26

Message

A haughty person is one who is proud of himself or herself. Many youths are guilty of pride because they fail to recognize God as the Giver of all things and to Him alone all glories must return. Pride is dangerous to your spiritual wellbeing as God hates pride. Saint Augustine was correct when he affirmed that, “It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.” Pride caused the devil the opportunity of living eternally with God after he revolted against the authority of God in heaven. 

Young people of nowadays demonstrate pride because of their beauty or handsomeness, wears, education, family wealth and position in the society. Pride cost the devil and the fallen angels the kingdom of God and would likewise cost those who still indulge it. God frowns at pride among His children because all are equal before God and no one should look down on others.  His judgment awaits every single soul, whether rich or poor, and educated or uneducated. If you fail to kill pride now, it will kill you later.
