I remember it was in the SermonIndex that Denny Kensington said that his main subject of his life was the Glory of the Messiah.
In our own way we are all trying to make a name for ourselves in some way or another! I love it in the Revival Stories of the Welsh Revival that Evan Roberts used the hit and run technique! So that God would get the Glory!

[url=http://www.revival-library.org/catalogues/miscellanies/prayer/boundspower.html]Quote from the Power through Prayer by E M Bounds[/url] WE are constantly on a stretch, if not on a strain, to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for the gospel. This trend of the day has a tendency to lose sight of the man or sink the man in the plan or organization. God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. "There was a man sent from God whose name was John." The dispensation that heralded and prepared the way for Christ was bound up in that man John. "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." The world's salvation comes out of that cradled Son. When Paul appeals to the personal character of the men who rooted the gospel in the world, he solves the mystery of their success. The glory and efficiency of the gospel is staked on the men who proclaim it. When God declares that "the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him," he declares the necessity of men and his dependence on them as a channel through which to exert his power upon the world. This vital, urgent truth is one that this age of machinery is apt to forget. The forgetting of it is as baneful on the work of God as would be the striking of the sun from his sphere. Darkness, confusion, and death would ensue.
I always find that this first statement that we are constantly looking for new ways to reach people and god is looking for ways to reach us! With Joseph Jacob did not know the Glory of Egypt that Jacob would present him with! We do not know the Glory that the Lord has planned for us! My slogan is Nobodys for Christ! We are nothing in name without Jesus.
John 15:5 KJV I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing
To me this is a lifetime study what is the Glory of Heaven and the Millenium and life with Jesus going to be compared with life here on earth!
Yet like me I am a failure in prayer,evangelism and seeking God and in all other things, I just want God to get as much Glory with my relationships and everything.
I have been asking how far does my life fall short of glorying god in everything I do? Why cant I glorify god? Why do I struggle praising God? Why cant we see more of his glory? Why cant he increase and us decrease? _________________ Dominic Shiells
