How you are fallen from heaven,
O , Lucifer,{Satan , the Devil}, son of the morning!

For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God , I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.
{Isaiah 14;12-14}
Fame and fortune is for the birds .You may be one who lives your life pursuing
fame and fortune , depending on the applause of others .Big mistake ! ,bad plan
.
Seeking to climb the ladder ! seeking a place of power ,stepping on others in
the process .What is it going to take for us to give up this idea that we’ve got
to be somebody ? Everyone joins the race to the top .People like this are the
most loneliest ,most unfulfilled people .They’ve arrived ,but most are lonely
,living on empty ,desperate to find meaning for their existence .Insecurity
surfaces as the competition abounds . Selfish ambition is a sin . An excessive
preoccupation with one’s own self, worth and glory is very unattractive .A
desire for worship ,admiration and glory from others for your own personal ego
reveals great insecurity. Looking down on others , putting others down and
belittling others is also proof of a great insecurity of oneself . Never
satisfied or content with your place in life or lot in life .You seek to always
get to the front , the top ,the place of honor so that you may say ; look at me
! Am I not wonderful , beautiful ,and great !
wearing your arrogant pride on display for all to see .But it also reveals the
need for approval , admiration ,and confirmation for one’s own existence. Be
careful seeking the applause of men for one’s own existence and being .

These are people with no depth to their character nor do they have any genuine
,sincere relationships .They are marked by selfishness, superficiality ,Instant
gratification .The curse of this age. It’s all about me ! they cry . They use
and abuse , seeking only to rule and to reign at the expense of family ,friends
,truth and a fulfilled life in Christ .Satan has deceived this whole generation
with the same sin that led to his downfall . I will ascend above the heights of
the clouds, I will be like the Most High. The desperate need today is not for a
greater number of intelligent people ,or gifted people ,but for deep people
.Taking time to discover what really matters is essential if we’re going to lift
the curse of superficiality that shadows are lives .The independent superficial
spirit of the age of taking care of me, myself and I is from the pits of hell .I
am master of my fate ,I am captain of my soul will lead you to hell .Exaltation
of humanism is the God of many.
I will be like the Most High .I am a God .But these like many will learn the
hard way that God still rules .

For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the
south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.{Psalm 75;6-7}
For no one on earth-from east or west, or even from the wilderness-can raise
another person up. It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who
will fall.{NLT} His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the
earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of
heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand .Or
say to Him, "What have You done?"…. honor the King of heaven, all of whose works
are truth, and His ways justice.
And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.{Daniel 4;34,35,37}
In order that the living may know .That the Most High rules in the kingdom of
men,
Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.'{Daniel
4;17}

A proud man is always looking down on things and people ; and of course ,as
long as you are looking down ,you cannot see something that is above you
.{C.S.Lewis}
