Do not take His glory!

A few years ago, I heard a preacher say, “Give all thanks to God and give me the fans.” The truth is, whatever we have, do, receive, give and produce as workers of God, we should give all glory and “fans” to God. Definitely, we will surely be praised by men for achieving a feat but we should let God be glorified in our victories. It is easier to accept that we have achieved something and deserve to receive praise. As servants of God, we should be aware that whatever we are blessed with, or we are able to do, God made it possible. He works through us for His own glory. Therefore, He deserves the praise, worship and the fans. Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.(Psalms 115:1) When we get to understand that we are vessels of God’s grace and that His light shines through our lives to bring salvation to all men, it should make us humble and hungry for more of His presence. Whenever it feels like men are ascribing the praise meant to God to us, we should be quick to return the praise back to God. In fact, we should constantly remind ourselves of Psalms 115:1, “Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.” We have been endured with virtues from God for His praise of His glory. God works through us but we do not work through God. He gives us grace to excel in our lives and ministry.  We should understand that we are not on our own. We are connected to a divine source that powers us for victory. Just as the light bulb needs electricity or a battery to shine forth, we should know that when we shine out to the world, we have been powered by a source. We have received from God those virtues that have brought us to the limelight and we need to stay connected to our source. If the light bulb sees itself as a powerful illumination tool, it will soon fade out if the source of its shine is taken away. We are products of love and faithfulness and we should let the world know that our God deserves all the praise, glory, honour etc.
