Pride is in every man, but we control ourselves not to allow pride to bring us down. When you live in pride, you live a life of self centered. God hate a proud look. God love people that are humble. You can not dictate a man that have pride when he has not yet made it. Everybody would wants to be submissive when good things has not come their way.

Pride is a strong spirit, when it visits a person, it can destroy the entire personality of that person. Pride is a selfish spirit that can destroy you at anytime when you give your heart to it. People with a proud look, always think that they are correct when they make mistakes. Correction is not in their dictionary. People with proud look are always concerned about themselves and not others, they want people to worship them.

Lucifer was the Angel in charge in heaven but pride became his friend. He was no more comfortable with the poor given to him. In pride he lifted up his heart to be against God. Lucifer wants the angels to worship him the way they worship God, so he conspired with the angels in heaven to be with him. God then lifted another angels in his stead unknowingly to him.

Isaiah 14:12:16

"How you have falling from heaven oh shunning star, son of the morning, you have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nation of the world. For you said to yourself, I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God's stars. I will preside on the amount of the gods far away in the North. I will climb to the highest heaven and be like the Most High. Instead, you will be brought down to the place of death down to it's lowest part. Everyone there will stir at you and ask: can this be the one who shook the earth, and make the kingdom of the would tremble".?

A proud look will always want to belittle their superior. Lucifer was lifted in pride, in his heart he concluded that God is not big enough to lead him. He is the number one Angel with legions of angels bowing down before him, but each time he bows before God he's always angry that he's too big and powerful to bow down before God. Been the angel in charge, power has been given to him to rule. He was ruling in pride, placing himself as God in heaven.

A proud look will want to be the lord to their Lord. They don't settle for less, they always want to be on top, but at the end they are always brought down. Great men are brought down in their pride to the grave.
