TEXT: DANIEL 4:29-35
Whenever God is promoting you or doing something great
through you, appreciate Him and give Him ALL the glory. Never attribute the
success to your strength, ability or your wisdom, always remember that you are what
you are by the grace of the lord, without Him you can do nothing (1Corinthians
15:10). Many people are guilty of this fact, like Nebuchadnezzar, they believe
that their wealth, anointing, wisdom, is as a result of the tremendous effort
that applied that made them to be successful.
Nebuchadnezzar became rich and powerful that the success
made him to forget God; he believed that everything was done by his power and
wisdom. “Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by
my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?” (Daniel 4:30) his act of
pride cost him his kingdom, his kingdom was taken away from him for seven
years. “The word was still on his lips when a voice came from heaven. “This is
what is decreed for you, king Nebuchadnezzar your royal authority has been
taken from you…. (Daniel 4: 31). After seven years his sanity was restored
back, he praised the most high, he honoured and glorifies Him. “Those who walk
in pride He is able to humble.”(Daniel 4:37).if you become proud because of the
blessing that He has given to you; He knows how to deal with you so that you
will be humbled. Whenever God blesses you, always acknowledge Him by giving Him
ALL the glory, not partial glory because He will never share His glory with
anything or any man. (Isaiah 42:8).
When things are working well with you, when you have great
success, if you honour and give God ALL the glory, He will make you greater,
this can be confirmed in Nebuchadnezzar’s word “My advisers and nobles sought
me out, and I was restored to my throne and I became even greater than before.”
(Daniel 4:36).
Go on now! Acknowledge Him for that great thing He’s doing
in your life, family, ministry, business and so on, return ALL the glory back
to Him so that He would bless you the more.
