THE ULTIMATE GOAL
Friday, 28 August 2026
"That they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
β Matthew 5:16 (NKJV)
TEACHING
At the end of all the teaching about salt and light, legislative influence, excellence, honor, empathy, and stewardship β Jesus brings everything back to this one sentence. That they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. This is the ultimate goal. Not your name celebrated. Not your platform expanded. Not your legacy secured. God's name glorified. π
All your saltiness, all your shining, all your climbing of mountains, all your excellence and honor and empathy and faithful stewardship β it is not about you. It was never about you. It is about making the name of God undeniably, visibly, powerfully famous in the earth through your life.
When your influence is so undeniable that people who watch you say "your God must be real" β you have fulfilled your purpose. β€οΈ When the transformation they witness in you makes them hunger for the God who produced it β the mission is accomplished. π Rest today and recalibrate your motive. The only influence worth building is influence that ends in God's glory.
PRAYER β€οΈ
Lord, the only influence I want is influence that glorifies You. Strip away every ambition that is really about me. Let everything I build, everything I become, everything I accomplish β point undeniably and completely to You. Always. Amen.
TODAY'S MOVE ποΈ
Rest today. When you imagine having significant influence, what do you see in your honest imagination β your name celebrated or God's name glorified? Sit with that question. Let God adjust what needs adjusting.
