How God is Glorified?

This powerful message challenges us to examine a fundamental question: How is God glorified in our lives? Drawing from 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12, we're reminded that God's glory isn't just displayed in our worship services, but in the daily surrender of our lives to His purposes. The heart of the message confronts our tendency toward 'independent dependency'—wanting Jesus while clinging to our own autonomy. We learn that God is glorified when we bear fruit that reproduces Jesus in others, when we become disciples who make disciples. The metaphor of being a 'window' versus a 'door' strikes deeply: will we merely look good to others, or will we actually open pathways for transformation? The call to missions work in Africa, Pakistan, and Trinidad illustrates a crucial truth—our lives aren't our own, and God's plans often disrupt our comfort. When we're asked to sacrifice our homes, possessions, and plans, we discover whether we truly trust Him. The message emphasizes that everyone has a testimony and a calling, regardless of age or circumstance. God doesn't need our excuses; He needs our obedience. Revival doesn't start 'out there'—it starts in the death of our self-centered ambitions. As we face an increasingly dark world, the question remains: Will we allow God to be glorified through our complete surrender, or will we offer Him half-hearted devotion?
