TOPIC: ARROGANCE
Arrogance is a state of being unnecessarily stubborn, a type of extreme or foolish pride in which someone feels much superior to another.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
The fastest vehicle to destruction is pride and arrogance. It gives you self worth beyond you, and places your feet on the path of death. No wonder, the Scripture says, "pride goes before destruction".
EXHORTATION:
Arrogance is when someone feels too big to obey simple instructions. This results to violence in many cases, the implication of which is that, arrogance never produces peace, but crisis. As humans, we need to embrace peace through the instrumentality of humility and obedience.
EFFECTS OF ARROGANCE:
In a society where arrogance has become a norm, crisis will dominate and disunity will be the endpoint.
Unnecessary competition is another problem that arises due to pride and arrogance.
Lack of intellectual growth may also occur. This is because an arrogant person would never find it easy to learn from those he thinks he's better than in one way or the other.
It may also result to shame. It will get to a stage, an arrogant person would be seriously disgraced and shamed due to their utterances and actions. It's only a matter of time.
SCRIPTURAL POINTER:
1 Samuel 2:3
“Boast no more so very proudly,
Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
For the Lord is a God of knowledge,
And with Him actions are weighed.
CONCLUSION:
Arrogance never give birth to any good thing, but destruction. The endpoint is always regretful and tearful. Let's run away from it. It kills!
