“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 explains how to serve God and bring glory to Him. 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. In context to the preceding verses, Peter tells five ways to be intimate with God - be given to prayer; be devoted to loving our fellow believers; be compassionate to the stranger and foreigner; use spiritual gifts to serve one another; give glory to God in all things. Let’s surrender to the Lord truly acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord in our hearts by obeying in these five ways for a closer walk with the Lord. Hallelujah!
