This is the children's song that I woke to singing in my spirit today. Not sure if the words are rise and shine and give God your glory glory or if they are give God the glory glory. The point in the lyrics of the song is to rise each day and shine for Jesus if He is truly in your heart and to give the glory to God when the glory is due to Him. There have been many occasions in which when I am flowing under the anointing people will compliment me. Biggest example that I come across in my life is that when I am around true Christians and I have the liberty to shine for Jesus it comes forth through me in the form of my smile I share with others and the love of Christ flows through me onto the people around me. It is so important to be where you can shine for Jesus and it truly is life sustaining. Without having that liberty to be who you were created to be for His glory you will find yourself struggling even though you are on the path/journey you are suppose to be on. When people would and do tell me I have a beautiful smile or that I have joy I have learned to give the glory to God, my response to them is that it is Jesus inside of me and I thank them for their kind and sincere words. I then go about my day, completing the mission I am on for Jesus. There is no greater feeling than the feeling of being uplifted when you are walking in the anointing on your life and then being even more ignited when mixed in the equation is that you are around fellow believers that receive the joy of Jesus into their lives.
Each day when I wake up I let Holy Spirit even direct what I will wear that day. He knows me better than myself and I yield in this area also. My make up colors, jewelry, whatever He guides me to wear that very day. People will tell me that they like this, this, or that and if I am in the proper environment I can give the glory to God by simply stating that Holy Spirit guides me in what to select that very day. If you are not in an environment to have liberty to flow with who you are called to be in Christ, if limits have been placed upon you, if you have been directed to not do something by an authority in your life then I suppose you have to listen and let the consequences, whatever they may be, in that person(s) life be handled by the Lord Himself. I can tell the plain truth and that is that the person being kept under bondage by the words of others will stop the glory going to God. If you are one that has learned to take direction of Holy Spirit and it just is a part of your lifestyle it then becomes a struggle for you to not bring glory to God when the reigns have been pulled back by others in your life. Pray for these people that freedom and insight comes to their lives. If they could just get past their desires and cut loose to the freedom of God in their lives then they would see the greater picture. The greater picture is that they would reap far greater benefits to flow in their lives by letting people flow in who they are created to be to bring glory to God. Bringing glory to God in your life or lifestyle then overflows into all areas of your life and the lives of others that are in your life. Does that make sense.?
Spirit check today...are you flowing with freedom in what God has called you to do in your life? Even a bigger question, are you allowing those that are around you to flow in what God has called for their lives? I cannot answer these questions for you only you can be the one to answer them with honesty. If you should find that you have been controlling others then repent and ask forgiveness of the Lord and let Him shine through your life and even more bright than He is right now when you set the others free from the bondage you have either directly or indirectly placed upon their lives. Remember, the key in all of this is to give glory to God not to man but to GOD.
Psalm 37:35-40: " I have seen a wicked person acting like a tyrant, spreading himself out like a large cedar tree. But he moved on, and now there is no trace of him. I searched for him, but could not be found. Notice the innocent person, and look at the decent person, because the peacemaker has a future. But rebels will be completely destroyed. The future of wicked people will be cut off. The victory for righteous people comes from the Lord. He is their fortress in times of trouble. The Lord helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from wicked people. He saves them because they have taken refuge in him."
