Friends we all know that there existed Angelic world before God created this material world. In the Angelic world, the angels always keep praising our Lord Jesus. Among those angels is Lucifer (Satan, the fallen angel) who was made as the head.
God made Lucifer more special by giving him all power, beauty and wisdom as described in the below scripts:
Ezekiel 28: 11-17 – “Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying.
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.”
PRIDE in Lucifer:
After god has given everything to Lucifer, Pride came into his heart and therefore he has been pushed down because of which the deep hell was formed. As said in the below verses, Lucifer just had a thought of pride in his mind because of which he was pushed down.
Isaiah 14:12-15 – “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.”
How waters came to the world?
The below verses from John I chapter says All things were made by God (with his word).
John 1: 1-3 –“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
But when we look into the first two verses from Genesis, immediately after first verse three things were mentioned without they were created whereas other things were created as from verse 3 onwards. Those three things were DARKNESS, DEEP and WATER.
Genesis 1: 1-2 –“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
From the beginning of the message we can see that DEEP and DARKNESS were created because in the period of angelic world Lucifer was pushed down were it happened. So where the water has come from then?
As said in the below verse the waters came in when god uttered after pushing down Lucifer.
Jeremiah 10:13 –“When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens……”
PRIDE in Herod:
Similarly we know that what happened to King Herod when had the pride in him while people were praising him as LORD as written in the below scriptures:
Acts 12: 21-23 – “And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.”
Avoid Pride
So it is very important for us not to have Pride in us. Because we should always remember that we are saved by his grace and not by ourselves as in the below verse
“Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
Also as the below verse says we should not seek own glory
John 7:18 – “He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.”
PRAISE THE LORD !!!!!!!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!
