THINK NOT YOURSELF HIGHLY THAN . . .

Romans 12:3

For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

We are privileged to be called God's own. That is if we have accepted Him. What we received and became at conversion is so great, we really cannot take it lightly. Hello, no matter whatever rules you keep or religion you practice if you are yet to accept the salvation that the Heavenly Father gives through Christ Jesus you are yet outside:

John 3:3,5

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.

This is the starting point, for you cannot talk of entering where you have not seen, neither be part of a family you are yet to be born into or adopted into. Selah

Then the next thing is growth.

Yet we grow everyday from the point of taking spiritual milk till we attain maturity, then we begin to eat spiritual meat.

1Peter 2:2

as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,

Hebrews 5:13

For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

So believers grow in the knowledge of God, having revelations and doing exploits.

However, we always need to remember that we are man and He is God. Yes He is Father and we are sons, we must never go besides ourselves, making ourselves more highly than we ought to.

Malachi 1:6

"A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am the Father, where is My honour

Always remember that the higher we go the more battles we must have fought and won.

Maturity brings about responsibility, do not get carried away. It is so easy to be distracted. Think of all the projects you have embarked on, from school to work to business. Without discipline you could easily walk off course and miss the goal. We cannot afford to do that. So we resist pride!

You don't need to seek distractions, they are everywhere coming with different packages, styles and forms.

So no matter how much exploits the Lord permits us to achieve we must never loose focus of who receives the glory. Never let it cross your mind to take the glory that belongs to the Heavenly Father. Selah!

Isaiah 42:8

“I am the lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.

Listen every religion has it's idol, don't fall victim, for even the atheist idolize themselves!

May the Lord keep us the way He want us to be.

May we not think of ourselves higher than we ought to think.

May we display and enjoy the full measure of the glory, God has given us.

We will not be distracted.

We will yet do more exploits

Halleluyah.

He calls us blessed.

Love
