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

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
