To whom much is given, much is required. (Luke 12:48)
Sometimes we ask God, “Give me more of your glory.” But what some fail to realize, is our great cost. Of course, his glory is not bought, it’s free. But it takes getting in his presence, to experience his glory. We pray and ask God to take us, his people, to greater dimensions in him. What are we doing, to spend time with him? Do we do the same thing, hoping for different results or are we changing with his flow? We ask God to increase the prophetic, in us and to increase his miracles. But when he speaks, are we listening or ignoring his Word? Are we speaking what he wants us to speak or do we hold back because we fear how the other person will receive it?
We ask him to supernaturally heal our bodies from a certain disease because we tire of taking pills or shots to keep us well. God says, “Are you staying in faith and still believing me, for your healing? You’re already healed; you’re waiting for the symptoms to go away. But do your part.”
We ask for personal things like losing or putting on weight. Are we exercising or eating right? We ask God to give us a million dollars but are we faithful in budgeting our current resources or is money slipping through our fingers like water? What is necessary to receive the things that we ask? Is it intimacy with him? Is it faith in him? Is having a closer relationship with him? God says, “YES.”
When the call of God is on you (whatever your calling), much is required. Sometimes the call of God on your life is so powerful, that you won’t be the same. You won’t have the same friends follow you. The greater God increases you, the more he requires of you. Sometimes it might even feel lonely where you are, but God always comforts and sends the right people your way. God is calling for more of you. Give him more of you!
Pure Glory
