For God's glory!

For God's glory!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

The moment you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you became a child of God. Jesus has given you the same glory that the Father gave him. You have put on Christ and Christ is in you and you are in Christ!

This verse commands us to honour God in everything we do, to do everything for God's glory. That means do nothing that brings disgrace to God. Stay away from activities that dishonour God. Before you do anything, ask "Does it bring glory to my Father God?" Do my words bring God glory? Do my actions bring God glory? Does my behavior bring God glory? Anyone who sees and hears a believer, sees and hears Christ, just like anyone who heard and saw Jesus heard and saw the Father. It's a huge responsibility and an awesome privilege. You do all things for the glory of your Father God because you are His beloved child. Matthew 5:16 says, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. When you do all things for God's glory, you are demonstrating the love, the grace, the mercy, the wisdom and the power of Jesus to this world. Don't live for your glory, live for God's glory. You carry God's name and so whatever you do and say, will either bring honour or cause disgrace to His name. Be wise and live for His glory!

Friend, always seek to bring Him glory. Withdraw from people who have no reverence for the things of God because they have no future. Connect yourself with people who deeply honour God and reverence spiritual things. Esteem the Lord highly. Give Him great honour. Respect the Lord wherever you are and in whatever you are doing. You are God's glory in Christ. Therefore talk wisely, behave wisely and live wisely. You are going up!
