The Greatest Curse of the Human Race
Where
there is Envy & Strive; there is confusion and all manner of terrible
satanic works; there you find disaster, calamity, sorrow, chaos
Gen: 4:9. James 3:16.
2 Tim 3:2. Prov 11:26. Phil 2:21
Every Sinful Action that man does can be traced down to a
particular thing.
ü The reason some people are disloyal
ü The reason some people bite the finger that fed them
ü The reason some people are happy when things are bad for others.
ü The reason why there are several marital turbulence
ü The reason there is no peace in the world.
ü The reason some people engage in bitterness and strife.
Practically every Sin , no matter the
name; Adultery, fear, anger, arrogance, bribery, evil desire, adultery,
gambling, gluttony, drinking & Smoking, rape, polygamy and so on;
Any Sin that man does can be traced to Just One Thing; SELFISHNESS.

v Selfishness is the greatest curse of the Human Race
v Selfishness is the Principal Root of corruption of Man
v Selfishness is Love for self with total disregard for what
others feel
v Selfishness is taking advantage of others.
v Selfishness is attitude of being concerned of you above others.
v Nations are ruined when politicians think for themselves first
before thinking of others.
Some
people gather, acquire and steal billions; it is all due to selfishness.
Jesus
came to die for us; because He was not selfish but SELFLESS.
v A foundation of selfishness would lead to adultery, fornication,
malice, hatred, murder and so on.
Lucifer was full of Selfishness
God
Created the Angels & one of the angel said he will lift up its throne above
God. It is Selfness
Nothing BIG happens unless some people
sacrifices themselves to do something.
