CELEBRATING GRACE RELEASES GLORY (PART 2).

 AUGUST. 17^TH.   

TEXT: Matthew 13:54-58King James Version (KJV)

54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

True greatness is not in the position you occupy nor is it in the things you have acquired. There are some who have missed the opportunity for greater blessings because they think that by their position in life or by their material possession they have arrived. With such mentality they find it difficult to submit themselves under anyone. If you suddenly begin to think that those who play the role of a father or mentor in your life are no longer necessary, that is a clear sign that you are walking in pride and ignorance. Wise people will always stay humble no matter the degree of greatness they have attained. Such persons are wise to see the wisdom in the unreasonable instruction from their father figure or mentors.

No matter who you are, your mentors should be able to talk to you the way they need to, so that you can be who you really need to be. This takes you being under subjection in humility and God has promised grace for the humble. If you enjoy to always be under someone who will pamper you, you will never become who God destined you to be. You need someone to tell you the truth to your face, you need someone who when he speaks to you, stirs you up on the inside. There are various dimensions of glory that will unfold in your life as you submit to the leading of God through your mentors. Most times, this will involve submitting to different persons that God will place over your life at various times. Do not frustrate the grace of God upon your life by thinking you know what to do. Be wise and humble yourself so you can attract true blessings.
