*DO NOT TAKE THE GLORY*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  25 May 2025: Share*


SCRIPTURE: I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a City in Cilicia, yet brought up in this City at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the Perfect manner of the Law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day - *Acts 22:3*


The Bible says give unto the Lord, Glory due to His Name -  *Psalms 96:8*


The Earth is the Lord's and the Fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein - *Psalms 24:1*


Man brought nothing into this world, naked he came into this world. All he has, is given to him by the Lord. 


The Bible says, a man can receive nothing except it be given him from Heaven - *John 3:27*


Whatever wealth a man has, is made Possible by God because He gives the Power to make wealth - *Deuteronomy 8:18*


*Therefore, it is dangerous to take the Glory for who we are and what we have.* 


The Bible says, let not the Wise Glory in his Wisdom, neither let the Mighty man Glory in his might, let not the rich man Glory in his riches - *Jeremiah 9:23*


*Man has nothing to Glory in; Wisdom, Might and Riches come from the Lord.*


Apostle Paul at the commencement of his Ministry as in our Anchor Text above Preached about his great achievements as an outstanding lawyer who received his training under Gamaliel but he later discovered that all Glory belong to God and Preached that he was who he was, by the Grace of God - *1 Corinthians 15:10*


*Taking the Glory for anything achieved in life is a Pathway to Self Destruction.*


Herod the king, was eaten alive by worms for taking the Glory for who he was; not giving God the Glory due His Name - *Acts 12:23*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please help me to give You the Glory due to Your Name all the days of my Life in Jesus Christ Name.

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *MAINTAIN GOODWILL AND KIND-HEARTEDNESS* *By Pastor E O Gabriel  11 August 2024:Share* SCRIPTURE: But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. *Luke 10:33-34* *The Scripture has made it clear that God is Love (1John 4:8). And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...
