Prof. Ben Onyeukwu-DOWNFALL OF LUCIFER

DOWNFALL OF LUCIFER 

Lucifer was first class in beauty and brightness in the angelic order, but unfortunately allowed himself to be destroyed by the same beauty. In keeping with this, the Scripture talks of him, when it says, "you were perfect in your ways from the day that your were created, till iniquity was found in you. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you". Lucifer was equally destroyed by inordinate ambition, which informed his attempted coup against the GOD of heaven and earth, who is forever irreplaceable. To this end, the Scripture equally cites his intrapersonal communication, in which he says in his 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: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet you shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit".  From the narrative above, it becomes obvious that, unguarded sense of beauty can lead to pride and unnecessary self-importance, which may eventually lead to self-exaltation that disregard GOD and HIS WORD, which is definitely a disenthronement of GOD in one's life. For your information, please, observe that, unguarded sense of BEAUTY, which leads to unnecessary self-importance, PRIDE, which leads to self-exaltation, as well as INORDINATE AMBITION, which results in dethronement and the rejection of GOD and HIS HOLY principles in one's life, in an attempt to attain certain earthly goals, are some of the Luciferian meal coupons that drag to the pit of hell. REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL! (See Isaiah 14:12-16 and Ezekiel 28:15-17).
