Giving Him the glory
God is so different from us. He is one of perfection and power glory and honor yet He chose to hide Himself and live among the contrite on the earth. Satan fell because of pride, taking the glory that only belongs to the most high. Today he is spreading the poison upon the earth, lying to the human race that we should take the glory and we should serve ourselves rather than God.
The church is full of such poison as well, think about myself. I was raised on the earth with humans all around me. The only way of life I know of is to serve myself and exalt myself with my own ability so that hopefully I can have a title or a honored place among the people, then I'll gain some respect. However, God's way is the complete opposite. Sometimes so subtly I carry this mentality to the church to ministry. I can be so blind many times by the things God has done through me. I'm perplexed that I can humble myself as I wish to many incidences. I cannot believe the yoke of the world can be so heavy upon me! A Christian. It is a demon of pride breathing that poisonous gas into my spirit tell me to worship self rather than God, to enjoy the fame and glory rather than worshiping HIm along. It takes violence and determination and most of all the grace of God to humble myself.
Here are few steps I want to start doing more than ever, it will keep my life:
1. Tell God how much I need Him, I cannot do anything without Him.
2. Thank Him and give Him all the glory and that I do not want to take any of it.
3. When facing praises of men, simply say that God did what no men can do!
4. Spend quality time humbling myself in prayer time.
5. Spend time in the word and praise.
6. Cover myself with the blood of Jesus.
Praise God He still give me chance to repent and partake in His character.
