“His Voice Today”

🔸️ We must have the fear of God in telling witness! 🔸

In our Christian life it is necessary to “tell witness” in order to bring others in Christ. I hope, at this time none of us would dare to take for ourselves ‘the whole’ or the ‘maximum’ in “the glory of God”. But do we take 5% or 10% of that glory for ourselves!? Our sense of self is trying to convince us, “Don’t I need to get even such a low commission for my great sufferings?” This being the case, there would be no place for surprise, when we happened to see in most churches today, God’s writing as “Ikhapod” (God’s glory is gone)! Yes, we should all be afraid to touch “the glory of God.”

Our God is a God of “zeal”; He will not give His glory to anyone else even in the lowest percentage! (Isaiah 42: 8). This is where we need more “fear of God”!!

Because of this, you should not think that it is being insisted, “we should never testify.” It is right that we should tell others “at the right time” the great things God has done through our lives and our ministry. But we must learn to be submissive to God’s time, to speak of His works only when His time comes … to hide ourselves immediately and to forget ourselves completely.

Paul was once taken to the third heaven, and for 14 years he didn’t tell anyone about that incident. But he mentioned that incident only when he had to prove his “apostolic call.” However, he refused to give full details about it (2 Cor.12: 2). Paul had so much “fear of God” in testifying!!

Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! Give us Your grace not to seek our own glory while witnessing! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
