While at Monef kiddies, at the close of each term, my results were nothing to write home about..
Mom would have to vet the results again, overlooking the "41 out of 50th" position just to seek for consolation..
She most times will feel ashamed and i'll be like, what is she thinking?.. Maybe, "why is she paying my fees? ", "why did she send me to the best school in town? ", especially in a house where my cousins were always top of their classes
Hmmm, i imagined a whole lot, cos i knew a lot was going through her mind especially as a single parent. Most times asides from being a nurse, she might not be really proud of me, cos she didn't glory in a "FRUITLESS EFFORT" . Definitely, not with such results .
God feels this way atimes, especially with his children..
Why?
for God BOUGHT you with a HIGH PRICE. So you must HONOR God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:20NLT
He would feel, since he has bought us, there should be this satisfaction that is expected to come alongside it. There are results that are expected thereof..
It is by the fruits (results) we bear that God is glorified and be like "i'm priding in this my child"😂..
Christ said it..
My Father is GLORIFIED and honored by THIS, when you BEAR much FRUIT, and PROVE YOURSELVES to be My [true] disciples.
JOHN 15:8 AMP
Hence, the much godly fruits we bear, the more God is glorified, the more he takes pride in you, the more he tells the devil "have you seen my son, have you seen my daughter? "
Hence, lets do all to bear godly fruits which will glorify the father..
Remember, his grace is at work to bring forth those fruits, all you need do is to rely on His productive grace..
Shalom!
