Habakkuk 2:4 NKJV
" Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

PRIDE AND HUMILITY
        A man is humble or proud by the state of his heart, these two are not judged by the flesh although still they can be expressed But these two are seeds and if seeds then spirits.

Pride in the man's heart is a seed of self-importance and reliance which is birthed by ignoring or overlooking God's hand upon you and focus on your own strength and achievements. 
And humility is just appreciating and embracing that it's not by your power nor mighty but it's God's Grace.

Forexample let's talk about righteousness by faith; a proud man inside his heart thinks that he can work out this righteousness by his own works. Yet he who has a seed of humility embrace it that on my own best it's just filthy rags.

 Humility is a mark of faith, meaning that pride just hinders someone to believe and we all know that it's impossible to please God without faith; giving us a reason why He resist the proud.
It's not that their sins are unforgivable, but how can He save you when your full of yourself. Ap Paul says that But what things where gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ

Humility is a mark of faith, meaning that pride just hinders someone to believe.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father I thank You for this Word in my life I thank You Father that I carry a seed of humility because I am born of the incorruptible seed which is Your Word, I express the nature of godliness in me To the glory of Christ AMEN

POWER OVER SIN

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday 16th June,2024 Galatians 5:24 (TLB) Those who belong to be Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to his cross and crucified them there.   POWER OVER SIN The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.  The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 4:7(NKJV) Romans 6:14(NKJV) 1 John:18(NKJV) PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I Thank you for the power that continually make me live above sin, I live and move as a victor because the world finds ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Saturday 13th January 2024 John 14:15-16 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD In this portion of scripture, Jesus is telling his disciples that they have to keep His commandments then by that is when He will ask God the Father to send them the helper, that will abide with them forever. Mark 12:30 - 31 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." There are many commandments that were given to the children of Israel but then we see Jesus Christ The Son of God enlightening us in this part of scripture that there is no other c...

Necessity Of Fasting

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTIONS Bible study department Thursday 13th June 2024 Mathew 17:21 (kJV)   "How beit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." NECESSITY OF FASTING In the book of Mathew 9:14-15,we realize that the groom left only when he spent 3 days in the grave. We all believe in His resurrection and the bible clearly tells us that when we received Him He begun to dwell in us, in other words the bridegroom is with us still. So why then do we fast?? Many christians have it on their minds that it's because they fast that they receive results simply because they received results after some serious days, weeks, months, or even years of fasting, this is a very inconsistent way to go about fasting because if you think that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough, then how much more is your fasting insufficient?? , you can't help God by fasting. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:27(AMP) ".........but like a boxer, I buffett my...
