What is Good for His Glory?

By Deaconess ‘Ronke Ademosu

I was going somewhere one day and I saw a sign along the road that read “A LIFE WITHOUT ANYTHING GOOD IS BAD”. 

So true! I pondered on this message and as I started ruminating over it, I prayed to God that I will never live a life devoid of anything good. 

Then came the question, “What is good life? I suddenly realized that “our ways are not God’s ways". 

The question is also subjective, depending on who is answering it: A spirit filled child of God versus someone without Christ. We live in a world of total decadence, devoid of Godly love, full of conflicts between the spirit and the flesh. 

Matt. 6:33 “but seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”  

A life that does not only possess earthly riches but also enriched by Christ Jesus - That is good life! Everyone has the free will to reason and act according to his/her level of understanding. 

But we, as children of the Most High, have been given the power to balance ‘free will’ and ‘determinism’ being guided by the Spirit of God who lives in us.

 Pro. 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight...”  This is the will of God concerning those who desire His Glory. 

It's our month of “His Glory Here on Earth”, everything that Glory means or represents: honor, greatness, beauty, splendor, power, fame, resto-ration, manifestation of God’s presence here on earth, are available in abundance and Yes, we need them, we love and desire these blessings. 

But, how can they be counted as good unto us without compromising God’s standard. 2 Tim. 2:19 “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 

May the Lord help us to uphold His standard and not fall short of His glory, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.  

You will have good success this 2022.  

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
