SCRIPTURAL TEXT:
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Daniel 11:36
The pride of life is another level of satanic rule, which challenges the existence and superiority of God, and the denial of creation. It usually manifests as rebellion to authorities like parents, government, spouses
and the Church.
Our opening Scripture shows a clear example of the display of the pride of life, where King Nebuchadnezzar prided himself on the greatness of his kingdom. He magnified and exalted himself as the ultimate god and began to speak against the God of all gods. And for this reason, God abased him by causing him to become as an oxen, eating grass, until the appointed time for his judgement was over. Then his understanding returned to him and he began to acknowledge and to praise God. However, this same display of pride is well replicated in our world today, where a lot of people get carried away, and pride themselves on their achievements or begin to challenge the existence and superiority of God.
As believers, we are not of that spirit. We must not lose cognizance of the fact that everything we are or have, was given to us by God. Let us therefore, acknowledge Him and give Him all the glory and honor that is due to His name. Hallelujah!
