Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
Gaano karami ang may potential na maging mga active ministers of the Lord ang hindi natuloy dahil gusto siguro nila na sila ang sikat at hindi ang Dios? Dahil nakikipag-contest with other fellow servants? Hindi marunong mag-sorry? Hindi marunong tumanggap ng pagkakamali? Hindi marunong magpakumbaba?
What happens to people who are ruled by pride? The potential does not happen. The piece of rock remains a piece of rock. You need the Lord as sculptor to curve you into what you should become. Puede sanang maging teacher ng Bible study pero mayabang. Ayun, maraming nakaaway. Hindi nakakasundo. Puede sanang kumanta sa choir, pero masyadong mataas. Ayaw sumunod sa leader. Ipinipilit ang kanya, kaya hindi na lang sasali. Mapupwera lang. Sayang.
Sasabihin natin, “E pag nakinig ka naman kay Lord, dehado ka. Lagi ka na lang humble. Parang laging kawawa.” But you know why the Lord wants us humble? Humble people are able to keep friends. Proud people are not able to make or keep friends. Proud people are not able to maintain and keep ministry because they cannot work with their fellow workers. Proud people cannot become team workers.
Satan wants us proud because he wants us alone and isolated. Because if we are alone, mas madali nya tayong dayain at palungkutin. Mas madali tayong linlangin ng kung anu-anong kasinungalingan. Kasi wala tayong support from other people. Kaya kapag humble ka, winner ka. People will be around you. You will be loved and cared for.
If you are blessed through this ministry, you could now take your turn to be the blessing to many others.
With your helpful support, more people could be reached with the messages of delight, strength and hope.
