 OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY

When we talk about greatness, we are talking about influence.

You cannot call a man great if he has all the money in the world but nobody likes or obeys him.

My mother used to pray for me thus: “You will call one person and many people will respond”.

She did not need to literally say that I would be great even though that is what the prayer meant; all she had to say was that I would be a man of influence and the greatness was sure.

When the Bible was talking about the great woman of Shunem, it records that when the Prophet asked if she would want a recommendation to the king or the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, she replied that she did not need assistance in that regard (2 Kings 4:13).

She was a woman of influence.

Since greatness is influence, then I’m sure you know that the one who is greater than the greatest is the Most Influential One.

So, how great is our God? According to Philippians 2:9-11, our God has influence in heaven, influence on earth and influence underneath the earth.

He also has influence over the wind and the sea. Mark 4:41 says the wind and the sea obey Him.

He has influence over fire; He can turn the fiery furnace to an air-conditioned room.

“The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” – Proverbs 21:1

The above passage says that God is so influential that He has complete control over the most influential people in the world.

There is no area or person over whom our God does not have influence – none!

Now, when God wants to make someone great, what He does is to give the fellow some of His influence.

We see that very well in the case of Jesus Christ.

After Jesus had paid the price for the redemption of man, God’s reward to Him was influence.

This tells us one thing: the way to true greatness is to please God.

I can confidently say by God’s grace that I am a great man because I strive to please Him every day of my life.

Do you want to be great?, Surrender all to Jesus and He will endow you with His glory (John 17:20-22).

KEY POINT: Seek true greatness.
