Never use your
God-given gift to the glory of the devil or for ordinary entertainment without
impacting lives positively. Ensure you can defend how you use your potential
before God.
SCRIPTURE: For David,
after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep… Acts
13:36a
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Ensure that you glorify God in everything you do.
In those days, there
was a man called Elvis Presley, ‘the king of rock’ as he was called. He was
raised in church. I once listened to his recorded performance of the Christian
hymns: Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art with his deep baritone voice
combined with amazing vocal effects; it was awesome and impactful. But
afterwards, he drifted and handed himself to the devil; he started singing
songs that glorified the devil. Consequently, he died on drugs; Elvis Presley
faded away in shame because he decided to glorify the devil with his potential.
Michael Jackson also
grew in church, sang in church, but after a while, he was lured into the world.
He began to glorify the devil with his potential and he died miserably.
There are many people
today who are glorifying the devil with what was graciously given to them by
God. How could a person use the voice that Jehovah gave him for the worship of
His Name, to sing immoral songs glorifying the devil? Why would God give you
voice, wisdom, graces, etc., and you use it to celebrate His enemy, satan, the
devil? How would you stand before God in Judgment?
There are people who
have the gift of making people laugh but they are making unclean jokes. Some of
the jokes are full of lies. You do not need to tell lies to make jokes; there
are clean, healthy humours that can make a heart merry and do good like
medicine.
Beloved, ensure that
you glorify God in everything you do. Never use your God-given gift to the
glory of the devil or for ordinary entertainment without impacting lives
positively. Ensure you can defend how you use your potential before God.
REMEMBER THIS: Ensure that
you glorify God in everything you do.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Ask for mercy if
you have ever used your potential to glorify the devil or promote the kingdom
of darkness.
2. Channel your gifts
and potentials towards making positive impact on earth and glorifying God.
3. Refuse to bow to
the pressure of glorifying the devil with your potentials no matter the money,
fame or promises involved.
