THEME:FOUR WAYS TO IDENTIFY A PROUD LOOK
SPEAKER:SHEPHERD GODWIN
FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURE: PROVERBS: 6:17
1.A proud look is facial expression that reveals pride
(Ps. 101:5)
A proud look is revealed when a person does not smile, clap, say amen or demonstrate approval during service.
A proud look is revealed when a person looks away while you are talking to him.
A proud look is revealed when a person does not bend his neck or turn his head in your direction when he is speaking to you.Its only proud people who behave as such.
2.A proud look is AN ATTITUDE that exudes arrogance.
(Ps. 10:4)
A proud look type of person is someone you may send him a text but he would not respond even though he had seen it.You would send him an email but he would not reply even though he knew you were waiting for a reply.You would call him but he would not respond to your call and he will give flimsy excuse for not returning your call.
Watch out for people with a proud attitude.You can feel it through their calls,text and emails. Don't take it lightly at all. It is an ATTITUDE of arrogance.
3. A proud look is a POSTURE that communicates pride and generates contention
(Prv.13:10)
Why is contention a sign of pride? Because contention or fighting only occurs between two parties who see themselves as equally matched or almost equally matched. When a person sees himself as a junior or a subordinate, he would rarely engage in any kind of conflict. Girl friends hoping to be married to a man rarely contend or quarrel with him. Newly betrothed wives rarely contend with their spouses. However as time passes and familiarity sets in , submissive and humble brides become hard , unyielding and accusative.
4.A proud look is a PRESENCE that communicates superiority.
Let me take it from this angle.....for instance when a person is postured against a certain country and sees
nothing good, you can sense the beginning of racial superiority. After a while , such person exudes despisement of all that he sees and experience in that country.For instance someone from another continent may say in a despising tone , you better watch your bags , there are many Africans here.These statements reveals a feeling of despisement from someone who feels superior.
