ULTIMATE CARE DEVOTIONAL🪐TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2022⛪💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Today’s theme: ⛪️ GIVE GOD THE GLORY“For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be polluted? And I will not give my glory unto another”Text: ISAIAH 48:11MESSAGE:🍎By considering ISAIAH 42:8 and Isaiah 48:11. Isaiah 42:8 states “I am the Lord; that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images”. We acknowledge thus; We are not from this world. Through the new birth, we come from God and should constantly remind ourselves of this.It is not good to be too ‘at home’ in the world. We are in the world but are not of the world. Great men and women of God have always had this attitude.The primary reason that God chooses to use those who are nothing by the world’s standards, is so no one else can take credit for the great things that are accomplished.If the Lord used those, who had it ‘all together’ in the natural, then they would share the glory that rightfully belongs to God alone. But when the Lord works miraculously through someone who obviously has no talent or ability, then everyone says, ‘This must be God.’Not only does this keep others from misdirecting the glory that belongs to God, but it keeps the person who God uses from swelling up with pride. One of Satan’s greatest weapons against someone who is being used by God is to tempt them to think that the Lord is using them because they possess some superior virtue.God uses ‘nobodies.’ If we think we’ve become ‘somebody’ (in our flesh), then we will cease being used. He will not share His glory with anyone else (Isa. 42:8).He created you for his glory and you must give him the glory. Isaiah 43:7 declares, “Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory. I have formed him yea I have made him”The Bible expressly declares that the believer was created in Christ Jesus, to give God the glory. So, the believer is the glory of God and for the sake of this glory, the believer was formed (created) in the image of God.Beloved, all that God created must declare the glory of God.Psalm 19:1-2, declares “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge”.This is the standpoint of God, all to his praise and glory. Isaiah 44: 23c says,“For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel”.In all matters of life, we must give Him the glory. The heavens, the earth, man whom He created, all for His glory. Remember, He will not give nor share His glory with any man (Isaiah 42:8). May we live to acknowledge the true God. which we all must give all His glory, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.PRAYERS♨️Father, let me never to be too much ‘at home’ in this world because I am not of this world, but in matters pertaining to the kingdom.Father, use me in a way the world will know it is not by my power or wisdom but by your grace and faithfulness.Father, humble me never to take the glory for the great and mighty things You are doing through me in Jesus mighty name, Amen.I break away from the temptation to share your glory in all you do in my life.I bind the spirit of pride and silence their dominion in my life, soul and spirit.Father, empower me with the right blessings which thou blessed me with from the foundation of the world.Father, guide me on the path of life and lead me to the way of everlasting glory.My going out today is blessed, my returning is blessed. The favour of God today shall be my new name in Jesus mighty name Amen.FURTHER BIBLE READINGISAIAH 42: 1-10BIBLE READING PLAN FOR THE YEAR, 2022.MORNING: LEVITICUS, 4-5EVENING: ACTS, 6-7💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Author: Pastor NseAbasi Harry💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, Abak, Nigeria ⛪
