So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them. And the people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died. But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Acts 12:21-24 (NKJV)
The Lord will not share His glory with no one, not even a mere mortal being. All glory must and will always belong to Jehovah God. As custodians of Heaven's resources, we must never take ownership and forget who the real source of the resources are. King Herod crossed the line, he missed it to his own peril. When men even make mini god out of you and your resources, it is a fast forward route to damnation and destruction.
I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.
Isaiah 42:8 (NKJV)
The proud and haughty will not stand before the living God. Every person, people and nation that will not honor God must be ready to face the portion of the proud. Therefore humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
