The Call to Glorify God
We have stated that the primary purpose of human beings is
to enjoy God and to glorify him. We have also spent a considerable
amount of time explaining what it means to ‘enjoy’
God. But today, we are going to discuss what it means to 'glorify'
God.
So, what does it mean to glorify God? It is a call to pleasure
God deliberately. Purposeful and intentional life of praise
and honor to God, that’s what it is all about. To understand
this even more, let’s go back and meet Adam way back in
Eden. How did he glorify God? Looking at the amazing life this
man and his wife lived before the great Fall, it is possible
to see that Adam lived a life of intentional praise and honor
to God.
Surrender In Worship
Here is the very first thing he did which pleasured God very
much: he was simply available for fellowship with Deity, with
God himself. This is enjoying God and the wonders of his person.
This is the greatest we can do to glorify him. The deliberate
pursuit for the Divine Presence comes with deliberate worship;
a heart joyfully bowed and yielded to the will of the Almighty
God. Our supreme call is a call to fellowship with God, and
as we fellowship, to worship Him who is the maker of the universe.
He can do without our worship, but he chooses to have it. In
fact, he demands our worship. Yes, the one who gave us all of
himself ( Father, Son and Spirit) demands that we give him our
all ( spirit, mind, will, intellect, emotion, resources, and
body). “But the time is coming—indeed it’s
here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father
in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who
will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship
him must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4: 23-24,
NIV.
The one other important step Adam took to glorify God: he lived
the rest of his life following the divine instructions God gave
him. We see a few of these instructions spelled out clearly
in Genesis chapters one and two. We shall examine them here
in order to better understand how to glorify God, even in a
postmodern world such ours.
Stay in the garden:
God has a specific garden that he plants, and in which he puts
each of us. He did the same thing for Adam, “The Lord
God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it
and take care of it”, Genesis 2: 15. This garden is first
a physical location. It is Eden, and its borders where clearly
specified in Scriptures: “ The Lord God planted a garden
eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that
is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life
was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil. Now a river went out of Eden to water the
garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.
The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts
the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold
of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes
around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is
Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria.
The fourth river is the Euphrates” Genesis 2: 8-14, NKJV.
There is a location that God intends for each of us. It is in
there that he visits with us, as he did with Adam. That location
may change with time, but if it does, it is only because he
gave a fresh instruction to relocate. God’s manifested
presence has something to do with the location, the meeting
place.
It is important for us then to stay located in the place God
has specified. This in itself is glorying God. There may not
seem to be a lot of tangible resources in the place God locates
us, but then, who makes all resources? God is not limited by
physical or human resource capabilities. In the case of Adam,
he made Eden thoroughly fitted with almost everything Adam would
need before He put Adam in there. Then as Adam stayed in there
and had fellowship with God, God gave him a companion that best
fits him, Eve. But in the case of Elijah, God sent him to the
Cherith ravine, and it was as he obeyed and stayed there that
the birds brought him food. Are you where God has located you?
That in itself is an act of worship, a deliberate step to glorify
God; it is a sign that we recognize him as all wise, all loving
and all powerful, and yield thus to him.
Tend the garden:
Adam was not only to stay in the garden, he was to tend it.
It was an act of worship. As he tended the garden, he was honoring
the God who planted it. He was acting in God’s stead to
care for what God would have cared for. His tender care of the
garden was Adam’s way of acknowledging that:
1)The garden was important to God. How can he claim to respect
God but despise what is important to God? That will not be honoring
to God.
2) He was a co-laborer with God, a participant in earthly affairs
3) It was an act of obedience that says, ‘I will do what
God tells me to do”. It shows that Adam was not in charge,
God was.
Are you tending the garden God has given to you? Remember the
garden may not even be spiritual, as in the case of Adam where
the garden was a physical garden. Your garden may be a job or
business. How are you tending it? By taking bribes, getting
there late and leaving early, and being a bully to everyone
that works with you? Your garden may be a church congregation.
How are you tending it? By being more concerned about their
tithes and offerings than you are about the individuals, or
by telling them to do one thing while you do another, or by
treating some members with preference over others because they
are wealthy or politically influential? The thing to remember
is that if God gave you the garden to tend, then that garden
is really important to him, and it belongs to him. One day,
he is going to demand that we be accountable to him. But the
exciting thing about tending the ‘garden’ is that
it presents us a wonderful opportunity to show God how much
we love him, and worship and glory him, after all, the garden
is important to him.
Don’t eat the forbidden fruit:
I don’t know exactly what this forbidden fruit was, but
one thing I know is that God has a right to tell us which fruit
we should or should not eat. Why? Because he is God, period.
After all, he did give Adam enough fruit in the garden to keep
him busy all his life if all he did was eat one fruit after
another. But God must set boundaries. True love certain boundaries
in place. Boundaries are the barriers that love sets up to prevent
its focus from being hurt. Thus a caring mother sets boundaries
for her toddler, to prevent him from harm. An all-permissive
society is a godless society, for in any godly environment,
boundaries exist. Removal of boundaries is an invitation to
anarchy. True freedom constrains, humbles and directs.
On the continuum of maturity, there is the initial childhood
stage of reckless abandon to do whatever the child wills. Immediate
gratification rules in the child’s world, and self-control
is all together lacking. He cries and kicks if he does not have
his own way, right here and now. But as the child grows, he
learns that he must not always have his way, or that certain
gratifications could be delayed for long term goals, with the
help of parents and school workers of course. As a result, he
starts learning to forgo play for homework, for instance, because
he wants to pass his exams later in the semester. Then, as he
goes away to college, he has his ‘freedom’. There
are no parents to tell him what to do; even his college professors
respects his ‘rights’. Now, he is a free man, he
could do anything he wants. But he soon realizes that freedom
comes with a price, a necessary burden - vigilance. It is up
to him now whether he succeeds in life or fails. No one tells
him to do it, but as he matures, he learns to do without many
things which, only a few years ago, he thought he could never
do without. He imposes more restrictions on himself, exercises
more self-discipline than anyone else could have done for him.
Then one day, he marries, bears children and now his heart aches
as he tries to teach his own children that they can’t
have freedom without responsibilities, without boundaries.
God’s man, Adam, must also know the ‘burden of
freedom’, the price of vigilance, the value of responsibility.
He could enjoy God’s life, his love, his wealth, everything.
But he must also learn to stay away from just one fruit, if
he must continue to enjoy all those. It was divine trust in
man, a rare opportunity for Adam to have honored God. Well,
you know the sad story; Adam did eat that same forbidden fruit.
The result was not only that he lost the life of God in him,
he also became naked, empty and vulnerable; and had to be sent
out of the garden.
We honor God simply by staying away from the forbidden fruit.
The forbidden fruit may be sex before marriage. It may appear
attractive, peer pressure may be intense, the rest of the world
may tell you it is ok, but none of that matters. The one who
put you in the garden and gives you freely of all things to
enjoy objects to it, and that is the most important thing. The
fruit may be the temptation to take bribe, or cheat, or change
figures or forge signature, or spend church or company money
on you. It doesn’t matter what the particular forbidden
fruit is, the important thing is that it is forbidden. If you
stay away from it, you honor God. That is what you are called
to do, that is what your life, like mine, is all about. We may
lose money, miss promotion or be ridiculed, but what does that
matter? As long as we are pleasing the one who planted the garden
in the first place, no good thing will he withhold from us.
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give
grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who
walk uprightly”, Psalm 84:11, NKJV.
Furthermore, this matter of the forbidden fruit is even more
troublesome than we realize. When we eat the forbidden fruit,
not only do we disobey and dishonor God, we actually worship
and honor the devil. That is what happened when Adam ate the
forbidden fruit; he obeyed and honored the devil. “Don’t
you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose
to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or
you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living”
Romans 6: 16, NLB. No wonder, God sent him out of the garden.
How can you be in another man’s garden and still be obeying
his enemy’s voice. The danger of eating the forbidden
fruit is two-fold: we could lose favor with God, and lose the
garden itself. Are you misusing the money and opportunities
and congregations God gave you? Then beware, because, soon,
you could lose it all, including God.
Be fruitful:
‘Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be
fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion
over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over
every living thing that moves on the earth.”’ Genesis
1: 28, NKJV. Right in Eden, God gives a specific instruction:
be fruitful. Bear fruit. No way around it. God has planted trees
already, but there are other trees to be planted. There are
other kinds of fruits to be borne. You see, it is glorifying
to God when we bear fruit. “When you produce much fruit,
you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father”
John 15: 8 NLT. Those words are from Jesus Christ himself, did
you notice? Being fruitful is not the prerogative of a privileged
few; it is for everyone who wants to discover and live their
purpose. Begin where God has placed you. Bear fruit of joy,
love, kindness, honesty, faith.
To ‘bear fruit’ means to be productive. Are you
adding to the ‘garden’ or subtracting from it? What
contributions are you bringing to your workplace, to your church,
to your family, to your spouse? Since you became manager or
supervisor, what positive additions have you brought to bear
on the organization? Or have the organization, even if it is
a church, made more money by dubious means, by stepping over
people’s heads, by bribery, and lowering of standards?
There is also another dimension to fruit-bearing. And that
is about bearing fruit in your own personal life. Are you being
personally productive? Are you better today than you were ten
years ago? In what specific ways have you improved your life
over the past fives years for example? Have you learnt any new
skills since the last 20 years or so? Please bear in mind that
these kinds of positive improvements do not necessarily need
to be done by enrolling in a university for a new degree. Sometimes,
being fruitful and growing does require going back to school.
But many times, you can change your life by reading one good
book at home and acting on it. Sometimes, all it takes is to
ask a friend or spouse to hold you accountable to improving
your life, or to stop that bad habit. Other times all it takes
is a decision, say, a decision to be whole and in harmony with
God and with yourself; to live worthily and accurately. This
personal growth may just be a decision to not shove and push
and maneuver your way through life, whether it is at the bus-stop
or at work, at home or even at church. That change in itself
is a most worthy fruit in itself; it enriches your personal
life and opens opportunities for you. But the greatest motivation
should be the knowledge that you are glorifying God when you
choose to grow, to increase in a healthy manner, to be ‘fruitful
in all good works’.
Multiply:
Being fruitful is good but there is something even better. It
is taking the good fruit that you have borne and multiplying
it so that more people could benefit from it. It is taking the
fruit that has blessed you and making it into form that it could
be a blessing to other people around you.
Over many years, I have given attention to the question: how
can we discover God’s purpose for our lives, fulfill it,
glorify God and live to our maximum potential? I have read a
large portion of the bible with this goal in mind. I remember
the very first bible I used after I gave my heart to Jesus Christ
in 1987. I was so hungry for divine truth that I marked most
verses as they were illuminated in my heart, especially the
New Testament. I have also read many leadership and self-help
books and many Christian books in search of the chief purpose
of man and how he could truly glorify God and fulfill his life
assignment. Over those years, I have grown some. I have made
mistakes, but I have also made some changes in my life that
has moved me forward. I made discoveries that made me sing,
dance and change. I can’t forget the day in the year 2000
in a small town in Southwest of Nigeria called Sagamu, when
, while reading ‘The Hidden Man’ by E.W. Kenyon,
divine life and light came flooding my soul, and I fell on the
floor for hours in worship as God’s primary purpose for
me became so clear. Just one book, but God used it to change
my life. That was growth, bearing fruit on a personal level.
But out of that one book ( along with all the other things
I have been thought by many teachers and mentors, of course),
came messages to my congregation, seminars, and tracts; which
took what was essentially my personal discovery and transformed
it into a form that other people could use them and be blessed
by them. That is what ‘to multiply’ may mean in
one sense. Let’s say, as a matter of illustration, that
you made a personal decision to live whole and pursue only that
which is whole and wholesome. Over time, you see how this decision
has shaped and enriched the quality of your life, and gave you
a sense of wholeness you have never known before. You have been
fruitful and productive, even if it is only on a personal level.
Ok, let’s say you then choose to reproduce this ‘fruit’
in your family, or congregation or fellow workers, and equip
them to teach the same principle to other people. You are beginning
to multiply. But keep in mind that your chief goal is to honor
God and glorify him. The fruits we bear and the fruits we multiply
serve to honor and glorify God. They show our desire to take
seriously what he has committed into our hands.
Fill the earth:
God is in heaven but he has given us the whole earth. Any person
who wants to fulfill his life destiny ought to think in terms
of the whole earth at some point or the other. Adam must begin
with the garden in Eden, a rather limited place, but he must
continue to grow and multiply until Eden could no longer hold
his fruits. God puts us in a particular ‘garden’
at a particular time, but he does expect that we outgrow that
garden until the whole earth becomes our mandate.
The earth is important to God. He worked long and hard to make
it beautiful. And then on the evening of the sixth day of creation,
he made man. After that, God took a ‘vacation’;
he rested. The reason he rested was that he has found human
being, this amazing new species of being who is equipped with
all it will take to take care of the earth. God has confidence
in you and me. God took a ‘vacation’ because he
knows Adam was in the garden, and by extension, in the earth.
What an amazing trust.
God has always chosen to co-work with mere mortals in the things
that concern this earth. “Who then is Paul, and who is
Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord
gave to each one? I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the
increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he
who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants
and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own
reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow
workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building”
1 Corinthians 3:5 -10. Even in the work of creation, he left
some things for man to finish up. Think about cars, electricity,
houses etc. These were man’s ‘creation’ out
of the things that God has already made. Imagine the great privilege
God gave us to fellowship with him in bringing other human beings
to life. It is so amazing that it blows the mind: that God wanted
Adam and Eve to bring other God-friends, human beings into life.
Or, in the New Creation era, think about Jesus leaving only
a bunch of Jewish men to bring the rest of the world into salvation
that cost his life. ‘And Jesus came and spoke to them,
saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven
and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that
I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to
the end of the age.”’ Matthew 28; 18-19.
I don’t know about you, but I shudder each time I read
that. What if these feeble men failed him, just like Adam did?
That is how much God trusts you, to take the gift or life he
has given you and use it and multiply it until it fills the
whole earth. None of us has any excuse. If these twelve men
did it, we can do it too, after all, it is God himself who works
in us all both to will and to do his good pleasure according
to Philippians 2: 13:“For it is God who works in you both
to will and to do for His good pleasure”. They were mainly
uneducated. They did not have political power, or even economic
power for that matter. “Now when they saw the boldness
of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and
untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had
been with Jesus” Acts 4:13. They did not have any god-fathers.
In fact, the god-fathers in the land were out to get them. The
odds were stacked heavily against them. But they had Jesus on
their side. They did not only have his promise to them, ‘Lo,
I am with you always, even unto the end of the world’;
they had also been with him. The key to filling the earth with
our ‘fruit’ is to be with Jesus Christ. That means
fellowship with God in prayer, praise, holiness, and in the
Word.
You may not be highly educated; Thomas Edison was not. You
may not be very wealthy; but then, Mother Theresa was not. You
may not have any god-fathers or god-mothers; you are not alone,
John Bunyan had no god-fathers, yet he managed to write "The
Pilgrim’s Progress" while he was in prison, because
the god-fathers of his day were hard against him. But if you
are willing to walk with God and be faithful and patient, he
will take your fruit, multiply it and fill the earth with it.
You say, "But I am not as gifted as Thomas Edison or John
Bunyan or even as dedicated as Mother Theresa. I am not sure
I quite have what it takes to succeed'. Then, let me remind
you that when God made human beings, including you, he did something
that was utterly amazing. Let's read it in Genesis1: 28, "Then
God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful
and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion..."
I have added the italics for emphasis. God blessed man and woman
on creation morning. That word 'bless' there means 'to endure
with the power for success, increase, and longevity'. This makes
me dance. I am already blessed! And so are you. God has already
endured mankind with the power or ability to succeed, to increase
and to live long healthy lives. This is why even non believers
in Christ still come up with such levels of success and creativity
that sometimes suprise us all. If that is true of mankind in
general, imagine what God can do in you and through as you surrender
to him.
I first received this particular insight to that verse from
Pastor Ron Ives, the pastor of Potter's House Family Worship
Center in Michigan and a beloved friend and mentor of mine,
sometime last year. After hearing this word, it encouraged and
inspired me a great deal. I remember asking God to forgive me
for thinking too little of what he has done in me and what he
could do through me. I kept repeating to myself: 'I am endured
with power for success and increase and longevity' until that
word began to vibrate inside my spirit. Friend, you too have
been endured with the power to succeed. It is within your being.
It is time to ask God to reveal the gifts, the abilities, the
skills, the opportunities he has put within you in order to
succeed and increase and fill the earth with his goodness. But
it must start with acknowledging that he has already equiped
you to succeed.
However, it is important to remember the appropriate trend
here, God did not ask Adam to visit every nation on earth in
order to ‘fill the whole earth’. But He did say
that Adam’s seed or his fruit should fill the whole earth.
I don’t think Thomas Edition ever visited Nigeria before
his death, but his fruit, the electric filament, fills this
nation. Peter and the rest of the Apostles did not visit all
the world in person, but their seed, the glorious gospel of
Jesus Christ, did. Sometimes, we spend more time trying to run
away into the entire world rather than filling the whole world
with our fruits. God gives us an Eden, and expect that we shall
not only fill Eden but the whole earth with our good fruits.
It is helpful to notice that this ‘fruit’, as much
as it could certainly mean other things, refers mainly to persons,
human beings. ‘Why is that so?’ you ask. Human beings
are more important to God than any other thing in this universe.
You matter dearly to God. He wants more of us: Black, White,
Asian, Hispanic, Aborigine etc. In a literal sense, then, God
wants us to fill the earth with godly children that grow up
to honor him and fellowship with him. With all the talk today
about the right to abort babies or the right to live and marry
as homosexuals, it is important to remind ourselves that part
of God’s purpose for us all is to be fruitful, and as
a group, to fill the earth with other worthy human beings who
honor God. If we start aborting our babies or start living as
homosexuals, we certainly dishonor God, and live contrary to
his glorious purpose for us. So, while we extend this ‘fruit’
to include other forms of productiveness, we must not lose sight
of the fact that, primarily, God’s instruction is to fill
the earth with godly ‘seeds’, that is, human beings.
Of course, there is a place for planning and wisdom in the number
of children that we bear; so that we can raise them up with
enough resources to help them become the kind of persons God
intends them to be.
What has God given you? It’s time to fill the earth with
it. Bear fruit, then multiply your fruit. But don’t stop
there, go all way and fill the earth with your fruit. If you
ask God and stay long enough with Jesus Christ, he will show
you how and when to do it. But we must keep this in
perspective. It is all about glorifying God with our lives,
giving him praise by being faithful, honoring him as we care
for the whole earth he made; telling him it is ok for him to
‘rest’; that his confidence in us is not misplaced.
Share Companionship:
The last mandate God gave Adam was a spouse, someone to share
his life with. Companionship. God expected Adam to glorify him
by accepting his diagnostic that he, Adam, needed the ‘other’
to be whole. ‘And the LORD God said, “It is not
good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable
to him.” Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast
of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to
Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called
each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names
to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of
the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable
to him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam,
and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the
flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken
from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”’
Genesis 2: 18-23.
Adam was so busy he did not even realize his need, a fitting
companionship. But let’s just suppose for the sake of
this piece, that when God brought Eve to him, Adam was to argue
that he didn’t think he needed her. After all, he was
getting the job done alright without her. He would have utterly
dishonored God if he said that. Eve was God’s addition
and complement to Adam’s life. God knows our needs much
better than we could ever know them. God wants us to honor him
in the family life, by being a family and caring for the family.
Three kinds of family:
There are three kinds of family God expects us to honor him
by. The first one is the natural family- Husband, wife and children,
and sometimes, relations. Family is important to God. Do you
know that just by marring and producing godly seeds you are
glorifying God? It is a most sacred opportunity to partner with
God in bring living souls into being. Pause to think about that.
And as those kids grow up to fear and honor God, you are part
of that wonderful plan.
The other family is the church. By church here is meant both
the body of Christians in general, wherever they are found all
over the world; and the local congregation of Christians who
assemble regularly to worship God through Jesus Christ. It honors
God for you to belong to a local congregation that assembles
in the name of Jesus Christ in truth and in spirit. Being a
part of the body pleasures God. That is why Jesus came, to have
a body, one body: the Lord and his people joined together as
one. In becoming a Christian, you become a member of the Body,
a part of Christ. You also complete this divine plan when you
join together with the rest of the Body, the church. We should
take the pressure and performance out of church. It is a place
to worship God, and share fellowship with Christ and his people.
Fellowship is a word we need to recapture in our churches, in
its truest essence. The world is hurting, they need a place
where they can be authentic without being rejected, vulnerable
without being abused; a place to be loved and cared for, not
fleeced, like the rest of the capitalist world does, a place
to find rest for their weary soul. God made such a place in
the world. It is called Church. Let’s take the pressure
of money and showmanship out of church. It’s time to keep
it simple and real.
The third kind of family is the human family. There is a sense
in which both Christians and non-Christians are the same: we
live together in this one planet called earth, and we are all
sinners who must be saved only by the grace of God alone. We
share similar trials, pains and triumphs. It’s high time
we started living like brothers and sisters. It’s time
we began asking God to give us a love for the human family.
God loves the whole world, sinners or not. “For God so
loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved” John 3:
16-17. Persons who have accepted Christ into their hearts do
not belong to this world any more in the sense that God expects
them to live a higher life, of worth and integrity. However,
Christians are also asked by God to be the ‘salt’
and the ‘light’ of the world. In other words, God
wants us to care about the world he gave us, the people around
us, whether they are believers or not. To show some decorum,
respect to others even if they are of a different faith, religion,
nationality or race. Imagine if we honored God this way- Muslims
and Christians and Jews could live in peace even though they
may have different beliefs; racism or ethnicity that plagues
nations from US to Nigeria will be at its minimum at least.
It’s time to honor God and pleasure him, by having a
healthy respect and love for the human family. “From one
man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He
decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined
their boundaries” Acts 17: 26, NLT. God cares for every
person in the world today. Is it not only logical to expect
that one way to show our love and respect for God is to respect
and care for what he loves tenderly? We must not get sucked
in by the evil ways that abound in our world, but there is certainly
a place for a theology that recognizes that human beings, even
unsaved human beings, are not our enemies.
Let us recap: we glorify God as we surrender to him in worship,
and obey his instructions to stay in the garden, to tend the
garden, to stay away from the forbidden fruit, to be fruitful,
to multiply, to fill the earth with good works, and to maintain
fellowship with one another and with Christ. Gloriying God then
is a lifetime assignment.
Share
your testimony, and be a blessing.
