DON'T BOAST OR FAKE - BE REAL!

As children of God we must be very careful how we conduct ourselves in this world.  We must not be conformed to the world.  Sometimes we do things because we have been TAUGHT that way but it is not Jesus way, it is the world’s way.  We must not brag or pretend.  The message what we bring must be FROM JESUS not from ourselves.  Our MOTIVES must be PURE.  If we did not receive a message from Jesus we must rather be quiet.  If we are not testifying about Jesus and bringing glory to Him it is rather better not to make a video, not talk.  When we talk our words must be like the Words from God not from ourselves.  We must not be like the world.  Don’t put on clothes and look like the world, try and impress people.  Don’t create the right setting, you know that people must get an impression, nice book shelves behind you, preaching in this wonderful setting that people must be impressed by what you are doing.  Those are the things that the world look for.  Those are the things that impress people.  What is our objective? Why am I coming on here, why am I making this video?  Do I want to promote myself or am I serious about doing the will of God?  Dear friends, we must check our motives and we must ask Jesus to show us to give us wisdom.
It is not about us.  Sometimes we do not deliberately do these things but we must ask the Lord for wisdom.  Sometimes we think it is the right way of doing it.  Let us question every motive, everything that we do and say: "Lord is this to Your glory or is it maybe something inside of me?"  We cannot trust in our own judgment friends.  We will stand before the judgment Throne of God and with Him there is no partiality.  When we put out a message, make sure it is from the Lord because we will give account to HIM who judges without partiality.  God has no favorites. He does not need you and He does not need me.  He can carry His own Kingdom.  We are just servants friends.  Let us conduct ourselves as servants of the Master then we will receive glory and reward from Him.  If we seek the acceptance of people and the glory of people then we cannot be seeking the APPROVAL OF GOD.
May Jesus bless you.
