Favor or Fame

Favor or Fame

(When Fame Leads To A Failure and a Fever...)

King Uzziah

Marvelously helped... unusually and extraordinarily aided UNTIL he no longer need God's help and fame got to him.

PRIDE is tricky. Don't fall for its shenanigans. Pride is always ready to DEFEND your flesh and CREDIT you with the guts to take a stand.

Pride is not picky...

Pride couldn't care less about your humble beginnings, honored past or lifelong humble service to God and men.

You can be ignorant or brilliant or dumb as a box of rocks... pride doesn't care and it doesn't care how you got to it.

It pays no attention to how dirty and poor you may be or how wise, famous and wealthy you may be.

Pride just don't care, at all. Because it doesn't care about you. It just wants a little of you. Just a little... because you give pride an inch, it's going to naturally demand a mile from you. And before you even know it, yesterday's humility turns into pride's disability when you turn it on.

Pride is similar to an emergency kill switch. You turn that switch on or hit that button and it kills the power source that's brought you up to this point.

Pride disables the God factor in our everyday life. How? Pride disabled the faith factor and God disabled the grace factor because we turned on the pride factor. So, instead of God releasing his needed grace, for more of His grace upon grace, we find God no longer helping us but fighting against us. Why? When the faith factor has been disabled, now the God factor is disabled because God disabled the grace factor and resist us who turned on the pride factor.
