    1) Absalom, the handsome son of King David, became prideful because of his good looks and rebelled against his father's rule. 2) Pride can arise from many sources like power, position, wealth, knowledge, or ignorance. It disconnects one from God. 3) Absalom's pride led to his downfall and death without accomplishing his goal of becoming king, despite his gifts. The lesson is that Christians should not let gifts or blessings lead to pride but rather glory in God.

    TOPIC: ABSALOM GAME

    BIBLE TEXT: 2 SAMUEL 13:24-38


    MEMORY VERSE: Proverbs 12:2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but
    a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
    AIM: To teach and caution all Christians not to allow God's given gifts or
    blessings to stir up pride in them.
    INTRODUCTION : Game is always a competition between two people of
    different opinion and knowledge about the same game allowed to apply their
    knowledge as a skill to win the game. School inter-house sport competition is a
    good and close example that could be applied here. In every game played,
    there emerges; a winner or looser. Can you play any evil game with Satan and
    demons to win? the simple answer is NO! They are inventor of evil.
    Absalom was a very handsome young man, who was taught Royalty as a way of
    life according to kings doctrine. He was well known because of God's
    beautification upon him as a young man. Guess what? Absalom became full of
    himself, proud and also gathered some youths around Him who has similar
    mind like him to become a rivalry ruler with King David; His father while He was
    still on the throne. What have you, that's is not from God Almighty? Absalom
    severally argued and resisted His father, David's advises and suggestions for
    peace to Reign in the land.
    LESSON IN STEPS.
    PRAISE GOD FOR WHO YOU ARE. PSALM 24:1-3.
    God created all things beautiful and admirable to educate us about His
    incomparable love and care towards human being. There are so many beautiful
    and handsome people on earth than whichever level or grade we may place
    ourselves as individuals. Absalom allowed the temporary beauty to get into his
    head and allow pride to set in, and rebel against David and Judah.
    Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that
    feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
    this verse of the Bible is not applicable to women only. it is applicable to a man
    who also allowed His handsomeness gets into His head. Pride creation.
    THE SEED OF PRIDE:
    Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
    how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
    14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
    throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
    congregation, in the sides of the north:
    1c4:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most
    High. 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
    Satan invented pride and inspired ignorant and careless Christian to welcome
    this selfish attitude that don't consider others around them or reverence God
    supreme rulership in whatever they do or Aspire to achieve. God owns all
    things, and jealously demands that we acknowledge Him as the owner of all
    this gifts irrespective of our background.
    One of the fastest draining ungodly attitude, that God detested is pride. This
    limiting and delaying attitude is still affecting most Christian till date
    irrespective of what we teach, Pride disconnects the victim from Almighty God
    for as long as the person live with pride. It could be for a life time. God
    expectated us to glory in Him who created us, and not in ourselves. All the
    effort of Absalom to ascend the throne of His father while David lives, became
    a wasted effort, He died without accomplishing his dreams because of pride
    over his handsomeness.
    WHAT STIR UP PRIDE
    @. Power.
    @. Position.
    @. Authority.
    @. Wealth.
    @. Knowledge.
    @. Abject Poverty.
    @. Ignorance.
    CONCLUSION : James 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit
    that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
    4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but
    giveth grace unto the humble.
    4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
    There is no evil gifts satan offers or amount of pride, we allowed to control us
    against God's counsel, that can beat that of Satan the Devil; yet God stopped
    Him. If God Almighty stopped Satan and bring Him down, His power to bring
    down the proud is still as it was then. Repent now! make a decision to accept
    Jesus Christ, the key to humility.
