Give GOD All The Glory

Was wondering why there are so many men and women of GOD who are packing it in. They rise to stardom then they are never heard of again. of course there are some who go all the way and make a lasting mark in the world.

Then as usual I went into the bible and read about JESUS and why he made such impact the Holy Spirit started to lay it on my heart that it is because of taking GODS glory as their own. Paul puts it plainly

Ph'p:2:5-9 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Humbleness is key here, JESUS knew his place in the hierarchy as long as he was on earth he made himself of no reputation. Contrast that to many televangelist and those who consider them selves big men of GOD. Who do they promote if you observe it is none other than themselves. Some even go to the length of calling themselves great men and women of GOD instead of men and women of a great GOD. Some are even calling themselves major prophets or senior major prophet. When people are giving testimonies they say man of GOD did this and man of GOD that instead of glorifying the name of JESUS the son of the living GOD. Who said all authority in heaven and earth has been given to me(JESUS).
  
 John5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. ³⁰ By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. Obviously JESUS attributed his success to his Father and our Father on most occasions. He did not take the glory from GOD yet many men of GOD are all over taking the glory of GOD. 
 
I was having a discussion with my missus that as GOD has called us, let us give GOD the glory that is due his name. Even when we pray and people get healed we say don't thank me give JESUS the glory. Many times we see that men and women of GOD once they taste just a little bit of GODs glory they get puffed up thinking it is all about them. Recently I heard of a prophet who was called to preach at a certain gathering. The first couple of days there was a mighty move of GOD people all over the floor. Then she gets her friends to come witness what she is doing mind you not what GOD is doing. that day she brought all her friends then nothing special happens. you can imagine the humiliation but it was her own doing she thought it is her anointing not knowing it was GOD himself at work for his own glory. 

You see John the baptist was in the wilderness and people came to him, not him going to people. Why? because it was GOD who called them. JESUS said no one comes to me unless the father calls him/her first. I hate to burst the bubble but no one is saved by cleverly put words of the preacher. It is GOD who stirs peoples  heart. GOD left a certain void/longing in all of us so that one day when that is triggered you come looking for him. So when that longing meets the word of GOD it triggers something in you. Haven't you notice some come to the alter call crying and some excited, some do not even know what is going on until they find themselves on the floor speaking in tongues.
   
GOD wants to be given the glory period. There are many that needs to experience the awesomeness of our Glorious Father. He GOD know how to make his name renown look at the children of Israel at the red sea they were boxed in, hills both sides, an enemy baying for their blood coming at full speed, and in front the red sea. He GOD pulled off the one of the greatest miracle in the bible. He got all the glory, for the children of Israel sang "who is like unto our GOD among the gods Glorious in holiness fearful in praises doing wonders Hallelujah" the enemies of Israel were not seen or heard off again and the inhabitants of the nation that were currently in Can naan were just melting with fear. And to me and you we call our LORD, the GOD who makes a way where there is no way. 

JESUS went on to say, which I find very interesting that   The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going  So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”John 3:8.
JESUS spoke of a great Revelation here if you are born of the spirit your actions happen like the spirit which blows which ever way it pleases, there are no routines. Say you are praying for people that are sick just follow the leading of the spirit. On one day he may instruct you to lay hands while on another day he may just say worship and things start to happen. JESUS is a perfect example he healed people in different ways to some he told the go show yourself to the priest and got healed on the way, to others he spat on mud, on one he said your sins have been forgiven then healed him while on the other he told the one healed go and sin no more well after he healed him.

In that way the glory was given to the father who was leading in the healing now contrast it to these days with men of GOD obsessed with anointing water with their faces on it. Now when somehow the make their counterfeit miracles who is getting the glory here. JESUS has been pushed to the back now they are saying the god of such a man of god or man of god layed hands on me or I just touched a picture of a man of god and this happened. Or  worse still I just sprayed this water and I was healed. These false prophets will surely perish as they should why they are taking the glory of the LIVING GOD. There is no GOD but the GOD of Israel period. These other gods be very careful with them. Our GOD has given every authority in heaven and earth to JESUS that at the mention of his name every kneed shall bow and every tongue confess that JESUS Christ is the LORD to the glory of GOD that Father.

Let us wake up from our slumber and give glory to JESUS to whom glory is due and He is worthy of our praise. When GOD has given us a taste of his glory let us be like Christ and humble ourselves and give him glory for all that is happening and please stop making people dependent on you pastors. GOD has no grand children. It is written as many as believed in him he gave them the right to be called the sons of GOD. Let us stop this nonsense about spiritual fathers we are all part of the body of Christ with Christ as the head. This spiritual father nonsense is getting people focused on a man of GOD rather than the one and only center of it all JESUS. Be careful these men of GOD are now leading many astray. GOD wants you and his son JESUS to have a personal relationship. I repeat you and JESUS period, no middle man.

GOD is on the move and move with him do not look to man for like him also you will live a limited life. Let us look to JESUS he that has no limits. JESUS wants to do so much more and he is not into routine he really cherishes relationships. Well it comes down to this many are called but a few are chosen. He chooses those that give him the glory, are you ready to be the chosen one? Then make yourself of no reputation and keep GOD first place and man will follow.
