There’re two major ways of giving
glory to God. The first one is to testify. And how do you
testify? There’re three ways to testify; the first is by declaring what God did
for you before the Lord Himself.
Secondly, you testify with your
offering. Many don’t understand the power of the offering; it’s a testimony.
When you give God your offering, it’s not a collection; it’s a sacred thing,
holy unto the Lord. As you give it, you’re testifying and giving glory to Him
in your life.
Read about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and his son Solomon; they all gave
offerings upon offerings in worship to God. From time to time, these patriarchs
would worship with offerings.
The third way to testify is to tell others; make
known to others that which the Lord has done in, with, and for you. Thus, you live your life before others every day, in faith, and
manifesting His righteousness. So, when people see you and say, "This
fellow never gets discouraged no matter what happens. He always stands his
ground on the Word. He must really trust in the Lord!" That’s a testimony.
These three form the number one way of giving glory to God.
The second way of giving glory to
God is by speaking or shouting "Glory!" This is revealed in Psalms
29:9 (NIV): "…And in his temple all cry, "Glory!" Did you notice
it doesn’t say, "…every one should whisper Glory!" You can therefore
imagine how Abraham must have lived; he was constantly shouting
"Glory," in spite of his precarious condition in the eyes of other
men. We do that too a lot of times when we’re led by the Spirit to shout
"Glory!"
It makes no difference where you
are, or what you’re facing; irrespective of the daunting task or challenges,
shout "Glory!" As you do, the Lord’s presence and power will be
manifested in your situation!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you
for your kindness, faithfulness, and love. I thank you for the miracles you’ve
wrought in my life, and the testimonies that abound. I’ll declare your mighty
works and tell of your grace to all around me. Great are you, Lord, and greatly
to be praised, now and forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
