VIKTOR SAARI MINISTRIES

Pride – We have interpreted this word to be good, sometimes…. We are “proud” to be American, and that’s apparently ok. We’re proud of our last name, and that’s apparently ok. We’re proud of the job we did last week, and that’s apparently ok.

The Bible says that pride always comes before fall, always. It never says a certain pride is ok. It never says that you can have pride in anything you want, as long as you don’t have pride in yourself. All the Word ever says about pride is that God Himself opposes the proud and that they will fall, not maybe.

Pride is showing one’s self above others or showing something above Christ. Many Christians fail to walk in all that God has given them because they refuse to put Him first in their lives. Sure, they may call Lord, they may say that He is Lord over their lives; but until you do the things that He says, He isn’t.

When we expect to receive from God how we want to receive we nullify the power of God. This is pride working in our life; thinking that we know more than God. When we want to do things our way we have exalted ourselves above God.

How can we call Him Lord without doing the things He tells us to do? We cannot rationalize what God is telling us to do, rather we are to put on the mind of Christ and let Him live through us.

Proverbs 29:23   ²³A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

“You don’t know what you’ve got, until you lose it” – We have become a very ungrateful society, we always seem to desire more, and more is never enough. We have become totally self-centered, thinking of nobody but ourselves.

We have been given many things in our lives such as freedom, a place to live, and many other things that we take for granted. We have let this sickness creep into our Churches, our Godly families and our view of life.

It has bound Jesus Christ who is in us and it has made the power and authority He has given us; of no effect. We, in sense, have become unappreciative of the work of Jesus on the cross. We have taken for granted His ultimate sacrifice for us and believe that freedom is really something we deserve because of what we’ve done.

We must realize that it is only by Him that we move, live and have our very being. Let’s be grateful and come to an appreciation everyday of what Christ has done for us and keep our focus on Him. It will bring joy to our lives and bring us to an appreciation to what really matters in life.

I Timothy 6:6 ⁶But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Do you have a poverty mentality? Maybe you believe that all your need is met according to the riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Maybe you say you believe you are rich because He (Jesus) became poor so that you could be rich.

But let me ask you this; do you think things are expensive? Last week I was having a conversation with someone and they said that one of my hobbies was expensive. It made me wonder what provision they were looking at.

I mean would a rich person say that something was too expensive? Would they say “that’s too pricey for me?” No, I highly doubt it! I don’t even think that they would consider the cost. They wouldn’t even look at the price tag.

I’m sure if they wanted it all they would tell the sales person is; “I’ll take it”. That’s the problem with most people though; they always look at the price tag, not realizing that the price has already been paid!

I John 4:17 ¹⁷Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
