Giving God the Glory!


Acts 12: 23 AMP “And at once an angel of the Lord struck him down because he did not give God the glory [and instead permitted himself to be worshipped], and he was eaten by worms and die [five days later].”

Today I want to encourage you to bring praise and worship our Lord God. Jesus Christ died on the cross for both you and me. We have so many gifts and God is blessing each of our lives all the time. Today, I am grateful for a warm jacket, a job and food in my stomach. I can sit in my office and do my job without being afraid of any disaster coming my way. God sends His angels to protect each and every one of us.

Now I see that on an appointed day Herod decided to dress up in his royal robes and sit down on his throne. He was giving a speech to the people. All of a sudden the assembled people kept on shouting “It is the voice of a god and not of a man!”

Oh, how impressed this king must have felt because he did not speak out against the crowd telling them to stop, no he accepted their praise and worship. At that moment the LORD sent an angel who struck him down.  He was eaten by worms for 5 days before he died.

Make no mistake God is not mocked. Whatever we sow we will reap.

To come into the presence of God, we need to worship and praise God. We need to give our God the glory and honour due to His name. God created each one of us and He loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son for our sins.

Prayer

O LORD, God I want to come into Your presence with praise and I want to bring You glory and honour. Lord, You are my salvation, You are my life and I want to worship You. Lord, You are Awesome, You are Wonderful, You are my Salvation, You are my Counselor, Lord I want to say thank You that Your good news of salvation through Jesus Christ continues to grow and spread throughout this world. I want to bring You all the glory and honour. Praising Your Holy Name, because Lord You are Holy, Holy, Holy and there is none like You. I worship You Lord in the Holy Name of Your son Jesus Christ. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
