Anointed Profit for October 2021
Pride and Self-Exaltation
1. Pride which comes from the heart
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed . . . pride . . . (Mark 7:21-22.)
2. The pride of self-exaltation
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted (Luke 14:11.)
3. The pride of being called Rabbi
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are bretheren (Matt 23:8.)
4. The pride of being called Masters
Neither be ye called Masters: for one is your Master, even Christ (Matt 23:10.)
5. The pride of seeking honour from men
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? (John 5:44.)
6. The pride of being seen of men
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi (Matt 23:5-7.)
7. The pride of seeking places of honour
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room (Luke 14:8.) See Parable of the Ambitious Guest, (Luke 14:7-11.)
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (I Timothy 4:15).
