Pride the destroyer of the mighty.

• Proverbs 11:2 KJV

• When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Pride is like an unseen parasite that can attach itself to anyone irrespective of age, gender, nationality or position. Once pride creeps in, it can remain undetected until it becomes too late.

◾️ Why was my prayer request not answered?

◾️ Why is the blessing not manifesting

◾️ Why the delay.
