IN MY LIFE BE LORD BE GLORIFIED

In my life Lord be glorified,be glorified
In my life Lord be glorified today

What does it mean to glorify God through our lives?
To glorify God is to give up the very idea that we are capable to do anything on our own and acknowledge that God is the very sustainance of our being.
Well I believe most people will say "duh?!!! like I don't know that...the very other thing that actually occupies our minds is "since God is the sustainance of our being,and the only source of life then why people who do not believe in this one tue and living God can live to this day?".It is by God's grace that you are reading this today,surviving to this very day as much as you came into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and through His death and the power of His resurrection.That is our very basis and reason we are able to live,love and appreciate God. The deeper we are in our relationship with God,The Holy Spirit will reveal unto us Jesus and how can can be like Him,and somehow we'll feel the very pain He took by the scourging and crucifixion with the excruciation and we'll be able to identify our pain whether physically,emotionally,mentally or spiritually to His and know God felt and still feels with you and we can learn what His attitudes were facing such pain.

We also have to put down the very idea our talents are related to our giftings...
Spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit and We are but mere vessels to be used.
Since Pastor Henry Hinn came and spoke of me having the healing anointing and I'll become a healing evangelist...I was like "hello?!!! u sure about that?". But now Im convinced by faith that it is not I who has the power to heal but the Holy Spirit and He can and will do anything and everything through us who believe. And many a time we really come to a point of thinking a situation is impossible,y? because we are actually never capable of anything,we are limited and we tend to think our God is like "hmmmmm....well he can come up a few miracles here and there but I dont really think he can really help with this, oh can u ,God?"....

14For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

(Ephesians 3:14-21)

I once told God "Lord, I am weak"...and you know what? He said "well since you know that you are weak,so what?"...He knows that by my going to Him is the evidence of my dependence on Him and therefore He probed asking "so what?" for me to search within myself is there anything else Im dependent on and if knowing He is the only one my confidence and strength can found in,then I'll have to step in all the way and take up the cross,meaning to focus my eyes on Christ and not look back at any other comfort I was at and go forth in faith and to forsake all other plans I have and follow Christ..That is the will of God...and His will has to become ours and there isnt any coercion inolved.

9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. (2 corinthians 12:9)

God uses what is impossible to our finite minds and limited capabilities to be glorified.U willing to surrender your all and be a vessel used by the potter?



Potter's Hand

Beautiful Lord
Wonderful Saviour
I know for sure
All of my days are
Held in Your hand
Crafted into Your perfect plan

You gently call me
Into Your presence
Guiding me by
Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life
Through Your eyes

I'm captured by
Your Holy calling
Set me apart
I know You're drawing
Me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Take me mould me
Use me fill me
I give my life
To the Potter's hand

Call me guide me
Lead me walk beside me
I give my life
To the Potter's hand
