GLORIFYING THE FATHER
(John 15:8 KJV)
“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples”.
How many ways do you know that God can be glorified? There are many ways God could be glorified; PRAISE is one of them, the word says “whosoever offers praise glorifies God”, Psalm 50:23. So each time you praise God, glory goes to Him. Another way to glorify God is by bearing fruit, and the fruit in question here is that of character and souls for the kingdom. God wants us to bear character fruit that will attract men to Him.
God wants our light to shine to the point where men will see them and glorify God in heaven, (Matthew 5:16); so, your shinning light does not bring glory to God in itself, but it makes others to see it and then glorify God Himself. There are people who will see your God-like character and truly thank and glorify God because of your life, this is very good and powerful.
But there is another dimension by which God gets glory, and that is by the many that come to know Him through you. When people come to Jesus, they too will let their own lights shine and many will see their lights and give glory to God. Their lives will develop character that will make people bless and glorify God. So, the more souls we bring to the kingdom, the more glory we bring to God. Now, your life ought to be lived in such a manner as to bring glory to God all the time. Make up your mind to praise God, develop character fruit and bring souls to Jesus, and God will be glorified in Jesus Name.
Action Points/Prayer
i. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you glorify God by empowering you to win souls massively.
ii. Ask the Holy Spirit to work on you till your character causes people glorify God everyday.
iii. Tell someone about Jesus today and invite someone to the next church Service today without fail.
Nugget
God wants us to bear character fruit that will attract men to Him because there are people who will see your God-like character and truly thank and glorify God because of your life.
