TAKING GODS GLORY?

When GOD has given you a platform to bless his people _do you rejoice that people love you or you rejoice that people love God in you?
Do you know some people have been anointed seriously to reach out n change / win souls fr the kingdom of God but reach a point n dilute the anointing _we forget its not by our might but Gods...u get a little celebrity status, people shout n go crazy @ the mention of ur name n u think "this far its my sweat" no wonder it reaches a point n the spirit of God departs .... u start to sail in ur strength n cnt deliver anything anymore! we get slangs that simply give us glory and not God.We start to compromise what to say "will it nice people? "You forget true worship ministers to God first before men..may God open our eyes...thiz is the way that seems good to many but its the wrong way...Let God in u be glorified & not you!!
Note these :
.Ephesians 4:11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

1 Peter 4:10-11...As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.  

You have to know that you are a manager of the gifts God has given to you.They may be great or small in your eyes, but they matter to God. "Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful" (1Corinthians 4:2 )

If you think your talents are simply for you to make a lot of money,name, retire, and die, you’ve missed the point of your life. God gave you talents to glorify Him & not you_serve n benefit others, not yourself. And God gave other people talents that glorify him & benefit you. We’re all a part of the body of Christ, and each part matters. There are no insignificant people in the family of God. You are shaped to serve God, and he is watching you to see how you are going to use the talents he gave you. Whether you are a musician or a preacher, a teacher or a dancer, God gave you those abilities to for what??? Think n dont b blindfolded by the devil . if you use your talents wisely,God will give you more. If you use your time wisely, God will give you more time. If you use your energy wisely, God will give you more energy. If you use your influence wisely, God will increase your influence. God will bless your level of faithfulness. 

The bible in colosians 3:23_25...Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. 
Finally:  Philippians 2:5-11
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond servant, and coming in the likeness of men.8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father 

As the Lord directs lets strive to Give Him all the glory He deserves and He will uplift us. 

LETS PRAY:
  Lord, I thank you for the talents you have given each and everyone of us.Help us Lord, not to bury it in the ground as the third servant did, but instead let us follow the example of the first two servants and use our talents to bring glory and honour to your name and build up your kingdom. Help us to be humble and realise that we all need each other.Remind us that the talents we each have can be beneficial to others in some way. Lord, once again we thank you and we ask this in Jesus’ name.Amen
