Conference by Ulf Ekman - Day03

REVIVAL CONFERENCE WITH ULF EKMAN DAY03: HUMILITY - GATEWAY TO SUCCESS

meekness is not weakness
no one is born perfectly humble....humility is cultivated
there is no PRIDE in God's kingdom and He resists PRIDE as if an enemy as it was PRIDE tt led to e fall of SATAN...
PRIDE therefore is e spirit of SATAN - to live INDEPENDENTLY frm God = rejecting God
problems are here to be SOLVED
God is constantly checking on us

humility:

to understand 'where u came frm' (ur circumstances)
makes u to go thru life with ease - not tt there wont be any probs, but it is easier for u to submit to God and let Him make u more than a conqueror
God fights on ur behalf!
reacting to e TRUTH
humble ppl are strong in spirit; firm, unshakable
they are secure in who they are in God, there is no need to prove to anyone.
to rest on something LARGER/BIGGER than urself.
Humility = OBEDIENCE

pride:

pride kills
we are all prone to it, but strong are thos who fight back.
our personality changes when we give in and not fight pride
pride is e nature of SATAN himself
pride cuts u off frm God
elevates itself and ends in destruction
FEAR and PRIDE goes together. when u fear, is bcos u worry abt things tt will hinder ur 'ego': its always abt me 'me' 'myself' and 'i'
therefore God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of peace and sound mind
pride needs to be 'killed'
pride takes away life, joy, peace, love, etc.
gain pride and u lose EVERYTHING

we are both 'nothing' and something in Christ
