THE TESTS OF THE CALLING 5
We experienced quite some miracles during the building of Wonderland 1. God showed up in many amazing ways. One day, while the project was ongoing, I was alone in the office and the thought came to me to get the building project file from the Administrative Office and do some calculations as to the amount that has been spent so far.
I actually went to the office and pulled out the file. I brought out a calculator. As I settled to begin my mathematical adventure, the voice of the Lord came to me, “What are you doing?” I felt it was not a big deal. I just wanted to know the amount we have spent so far on the building. Then the Lord asked, “Why do you want to know?”
At that moment, my thoughts flashed before me like a screen. It seems like someone pulled into the secret chambers of my heart. I saw right there that I wanted to know the figure so I can feel some sense of accomplishment and well, sprinkled with a little bit of pride, and maybe one day, it will just “mistakenly” slip off my lips “in glory to God”, the amount we spent on the building.
I dropped the file. I ran back to my office, and I repented immediately. Till date, I only have an idea of what was spent. Why? God built it using men and angels (Yes! Literally).
One of the tests that the called must pass is
“The Test of The Glory and Your Posture”. You must never touch the glory of Zion. It is anathema.
There are two things that you are not wired to carry. It will wreck your composition as a man.
The first is “Cares”. You must cast your cares upon the Lord because He cares for you. Men who carry the cares of this life breakdown under the weight of it. Hand it over to the Lord.
The second is “Glory”. If you decide to carry the glory, you will be crushed by the weight of it. All the glory must be to the Lord. It is a privilege to be used by Him.
If men praise you and you do not return it to God, make sure you remember the king that fell from his throne, with maggots eating him up on the spot.
Acts 12:23 NKJV
[23] Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.
Did you see the coroner’s report? He died for not giving glory to God.
Apostle Paul charged us saying, “What do we have that we did not receive?”
1 Corinthians 4:7 ICB
Who says that you are better than others? Everything you have was given to you. And if this is so, why do you brag as if you got these things by your own power?
Refuse to get to a point where you take things for granted. Refuse to enter into the error of exalting your abilities. Refuse to touch the glory of Zion.
After every major milestone, men will call you great names but go to the one with the name above all names to cast your crown down before and lay in total surrender to His Lordship while you give Him all the glory.
All the glory must be to the Lord
For He is worthy of our praise
temilOluwa Ola will not give glory to himself
All the glory must be to the Lord.
