The Sons of Pride

The Sons of Pride

By: Elder K. Clark

Pride the author of every evil work, and the enemy of all humility successfully birthing conceited men daily by convincing them of their own self importance. These “sons” of pride were often first esteemed as notable leaders in our local church communities riding undetected most of the time under the titles pastors, teachers, evangelists, prophets or apostles. Nevertheless, several of these leaders have fallen prey to the voice of pride promising them power, fame, wealth, and a name.

Observe the statements I made, they were “first esteemed as notable leaders” but have “fallen prey”. These sons of conceit resemble the ministry of Saul the King of Israel who was filled with humbleness in the beginning and was positioned over the house of the LORD and received revelation and understanding. But during his rule pride presented itself offering him power, fame, wealth, and a name.

Equally these “Sons” of arrogance (once good men) were also positioned over the houses of the LORD and received revelations and understanding only to be snared by pride. They ramp and rave “It’s for the Kingdom”. But who’s kingdom, their own? These men are intoxicated with pride driven fiercely out of control having no voice of reason except it offers them the pleasure of seeing others plummet. They pulsated off other people’s failures driven with thrill to look down on others misfortunes esteeming themselves to be of some better-value.

These men think too much of themselves. In their own eyes, everyone else are novices, unlearned, uneducated, and in need of guidance preferably by them. In their own minds there’s no understanding outside of their own inner-circle and only their congregation of two and a handful of followers will be saved. They seem to believe God only called them, only gave them understanding, only sent them and only gave them a name.

These “sons” of haughtiness stand emotionless when they speak evil of good men labeling them as dogs, reprobated wolfs and condemning them to hell. They have no remorse when they curse the churches of the living God by marking them as houses of dogs and waste camps. They lose no sleep after they stand in the pulpit to persecute the humble with their mouth and when these works are done these same persecutors (“sons” of self-manage) turn to play the wounded. Complaining about being the victim of robbery and sarcasm, and often pretending to lose motivation and interest to work for the LORD just to receive emails and phone calls from others begging them not to surrender, only to steal God’s glory.

These “sons” of self-glory have mastered the art of playing the victim and through their mastery they convert strays, wanders, drifters, and the churchless. These outcasts snared by the sons of haughtiness will soon become nothing more than puppets, and trophies of the pride to be showboated on the internet meat market. But once the men and women they’ve converted realize they’re being used as mere puppets, and trophies they are left to be wandering stars, and the same “sons” of self-glory that spoke so highly of the puppets, and trophies they gained will turn to mock and ridicule the men and women they’ve helped become wanderers.

These sons of self-glory will unfortunately go the length traveling seas to pimp the innocent when they boast about their own accomplishments.

Who should fear these sons of self-exaltation blowing their own horns of achievements? Should I, should you? Hogwash! Why should I fear high-minded men that intentionally exploit the name of the LORD with an aim to make others submit to their lust of pride and power? Why should anyone be alarmed of men that teach repentance but don’t have a conscience of repentance before or after they’ve been confronted? These sons of self-righteousness are simply locomotives fueled by their own steam masquerading under the name of the LORD.

These “sons” of pride just as Saul the King have no idea when to step down but remain teachers that can’t be taught, instructors that can’t be instructed, they rebuke but can’t be rebuked. They correct but they can’t be corrected. They are in the Law but above the law believing them-selves to be in the best position to judge, and mock others. These “sons” of self-promotion will never repent of the pride of being their own biggest fan. They are both the entertainer and the audience. They’re their own pep rally convinced that their pride is an anointing from God almighty.

These “sons” of self-worship befriend good men, and like Judas betrays them by trying to steal their members when they lay hands on them just to claim them as their own sons. These “sons” of self worship will prophesy falsely claiming certain men would never receive the Holy Ghost unless they join their church.

These “sons” of self praise scream from the mountain asserting and noting certain men to be in error, yet they will never approach the men they declare to be in the error. No! They will only idolize themselves by writing books, posting on blogs, forums and internet sites about things they have never discussed with the men being accused. Now who is getting the Glory? Themselves!

These sons of selfishness, will continue to act like children pouting on blogs, forums and internet about, “it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s mine, give it back, give it back, you can’t have it.” This egotistical behavior proves their mission was never intended to glorify the LORD. These sons of know-it-all will read this article and instead of repenting of their error empowered by the spirit of pride will write their own article fulfilling everything written here.

These self-focused sons of pride guided by their own spirits will not be stopped from stretching the truth about things that never happened, about healings that never happened, rescues that never happened, conversions that never happened, miracles that never happened, and any other supernatural event declare to be truth which never happened just to build up their own ministry. These same men will be driven for years to teach a particular doctrine, convincing others, only to change (without repentance) their views and turning to mock and ridicule the people they converted. Whenever these sons of pride aren’t the inventors of certain truths, they will hide it and speak evil of it, only to later with a spin preach the doctrine that they spoke evil of then later calling it their own.

Thus there is simply more hope for a fool than for a proud person. You’re almost forced to have pity on these sons of “look-at-me, I started it, I received it first, and I was the first. It was me that begin it. I’m the man of God and God sent me” but I just can’t give these sons of self-pity the satisfaction.

Identifying a “son” of pride doesn’t take long just listen to the conversations which will always begin and end with “THEM” with an occasional mention of God. Their behavior is always in a superior tone having no idea when to stop talking about them-selves and let another man praise them instead of their own lips and fingers.
