IT'S HIS GLORY

-

Acts 14:11,14-15

When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in their local dialect, “These men are gods in human form!”

But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard what was happening, they tore their clothing in dismay and ran out among the people, shouting,

“Friends, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings—just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.


Many have failed in their God given assignments because of one very big err. "Thinking it is about you".


No, the moment you begin to think it is about you or that there is a glory that you can share with the Heavenly Father - YOU MISS IT.


Hello, the enemy fell because he dared to make it about himself, He was created to serve but He wanted to be worship.


Isaiah 14:13-14

For you said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God’s stars. 

I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north.

I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.’


King Saul was rejected because in wanting to keep face with people he became disobedient to God.


King Solomon accumulated so much women the Bible says:


1Kings 11:2-4 

Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: [for] surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David his father.


The examples abound, the moment it is not about the Heavenly Father, the moment it is not about His Son Jesus the Christ, the path has already been missed.


Many of those who open churches (or so called business centres) are doing it for personal gain. Hello you are gifted to serve NOT to start a church.


Do you know who church planters are? It is NOT as simple as most people think. Gathering the crowd is not the thing, do you know what account you have to give?


Go through the Acts of the Apostles, church planters have no church they preside over. Selah


It is only when you have established and engrafted the truth that:- it is all about the Lord that you have begun. Any other thing is an err.


Hello, remember this:


Phiippians 1:18 

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.


God can use anything and anyplace, however everyone will account. Thus when I scream that salvation is personal - you know what I mean.


The Lord will help us, we will not be set free by Christ and then go into bondage by a mere man, NO. We will not put anyone into bondage and we will not be in one ourselves. In Christ Jesus we will serve the Heavenly Father. For it is "ALL ABOUT HIM".


The Lord has sent many to serve, many have grown to be elders and leaders, may they all fulfil their purpose, the Heavenly Father will be glorified.


Glory to God.


He calls us blessed.


Love

GOOD LIKE YOUR FATHER

-
Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. There is one thing we must have in mind, "it is the desire of our Heavenly Father that we should be like Him". He is good and He expects us to be good, we follow in His good nature. One of the attributes of the Heavenly Father's goodness is in the perfection of His work. What can be said of your works? Listen, the Psalmist sang: Psalms 118:23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. Look at those who walked with the Heavenly Father in scriptures, their works were wonderful to behold, is it when they worked in spiritual positions, Joseph and Daniel in interpretation of dreams and giving wise counsel; or the prophets when they delivered God's message or did miracles. Their works were commendable when they were in political positions, Joseph and Daniel are still very good examples, no blemish was found in their work...

OUR GIVING

-
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. What exactly have we sacrificed for Christ? We talk of all His goodness, love and unmerited favour, how have we shown appreciation for the grace He has given us? Do we really know what the Lord has done for us? Psalm 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. People ask, Christ is not physically here with us, how can I pour my precious oil on Him? This is what He said: Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these...

NEVER TAKE REVENGE!

-
Romans 12:19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge;I will pay them back,” says the lord. Offences would surely come as we continue our journey here on earth. One thing we must learn to do is never to act when we are angry. Almost one hundred percent of the time, if we reflect on it, we find that we regret our actions. It is not that we do not get angry, the bible teaches that even when we do, it should not lead us to sin. Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: If an enemy hurts us, well what do we expect from an enemy. However betrayal is when a friend intentionally hurts us. Check it! What makes us think it is intentional? So better to talk about it than be silent! Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. If it hurts, then talk about it, it is always a wonder what we discover when we tal...
