I will not give My glory to another. (Isa 48:11)

I will not give My glory to another. (Isa 48:11)

unknown

What has any of us taught the Lord?
Who of us was with Him when He created all things?
Who would dare advise the Lord Himself or give Him council?

Many who have put themselves in the forefront of ministry today, whether they be priest, pastor, evangelist, prophet, put themselves in daily jeopardy with God, when they allow the adulation of the sheep. Or when they seek the praise and the Glory that belongs to God alone.

If a soul is saved, it is the Lord's doing!

If a prayer is answered, it is the Lord's doing!

If a victory is won, it is the Lord's doing!

If a life is changed, it is the Lord's doing!

If the enemy is overcome, it is the Lord's doing!
It is the Lord that is in the miracle working business not men.
Those who cannot do service unto the Lord, lest they sound a trumpet before themselves, to gain the attention of men, they are on shaky ground.
God did not intend for the leaders of His sheep, or his sheep to take the Glory that belongs to Him alone.
Men and women are to point the sheep to Jesus as their High Priest, not to themselves.

Leaders are to teach the sheep to lean on Jesus, not lean on them. When leaders teach the sheep to lean on them, then they receive the praise of man that rightfully belongs to God alone.

Unfortunately men's base nature enjoys the praise of men, but this must be avoided at all costs.

The sheep are to be led into the Word of God for their council and encouragement, not taught to depend on the arm of men or women.

We have entered the hour where if men and women do not know how to access God for themselves they are going to be as the five foolish virgins...they will say, "But, Lord, Lord?"
and He will say, "I know you not", and the door shall be shut and they shall not enter in.

Abigya you are right, but I think this contains to all Christian not just those in authority.

There is a scripture, "For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst recieve it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not recieve it? 1 Corinthians 4:7.

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours.
1 Corinthians 3:21

Can you elaborate what you are trying to say here?

I believe church, fellowship, encouraging one another, the preaching of the Word of God, preaching the gospel are necessary, but we can't soley base it on our relationship with our Lord Jesus.

As you said,
"We have entered the hour where if men and women do not know how (to access God for themselves) they are going to be as the five foolish virgins...they will say, "But, Lord, Lord?"
and He will say, "I know you not", and the door shall be shut and they shall not enter in."

As for self, all Christians and not just the one in authority, have to watch out for this because all the glory belongs to God.

I believe she was trying to clarify that all of us must guard against what the OP was saying. Re-reading it, though, he did include 'the sheep' with those in authority.

Thank you for pointing out Sister, though that wasn't hard to note, if it had been understand the spirit of the message like what you said, :wink:

God bless

That is exactly what I was trying to say, "We must all be on guard".

And yes Abigya, it did included the sheep, sorry.
Thanks for pointing it out HeismyFather.
