God has chosen to use human beings
as his vessels through which to flow. Through the ages, each one of God’s
choice men and women have had to deal with an area that has a tendency to rise
up when any type of accomplishment is realized.
Sometimes, when a miracle occurs
from your hand, in comes the army of inquisitive onlookers. They begin to
interrogate everyone you know. “How did it happen? How he got it”. Everyone
points to you whom God used. At that moment, you have the sole responsibility
of deflecting any honour and glory off yourself and onto the one who is the
rightful recipient of the praise – Jesus Christ.
Herod relished the praise of man. He
sought the honor of man above the honor of God, which brought deadly results.
The worms of pride and conceit began their destructive work the moment he
ceased to give God the glory.
Never forget, God is the one who
gave you breath. If you sing magnificently it is because he gave you the
ability. If someone pays you a compliment on your physical attractiveness,
remember that it was God who knit you together in your mother’s womb. If God
uses you mightily in healings, remember that Jesus took the beatings. He was
bruised; He was wounded; He was the one hurt for our healing.
