“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
1 Peter 4:11 KJV
Peter here teaches, “For example, if you have a speaking gift, speak as though God were speaking His words through you. If you have the gift of serving, do it passionately with the strength God gives you, so that in everything God alone will be glorified through Jesus Christ. For to Him belong the power and the glory forever throughout all ages! Amen.” If anyone preaches, teaches and prophesies, speak as if it is God speaking through you, it is God’s Word. The one who provides finances should do it with the strength of God, Who supplies all things. Peter exhorts us, as the end draws near, to be given to prayer, and devoted to loving our fellow believers and using our spiritual gifts to serve one another. Let’s be compassionate to the stranger and the foreigner. Let’s give glory to God in all things. We learn from Abraham, the father of faith, who lived in decadent times, that he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. Let’s give glory to God in Christ, always. Amen!
