100% JESUS

"It is not great men who change the world, but weak men in the hands of a great God." - Brother Yun

Neymar

Over the weekend, the much awaited, hyped and expected championship final came and now gone, but it's still being talked about: how Neymar scored a victory sealing goal. However, attention isn't on the goal, but on the object of his celebration after the goal. One website is quoted as saying:

"Having just scored the goal that would secure his side one of the most prestigious and sort after trophies the world of football has to offer, his first thought was to glorify someone else. To give credit to someone clearly worth more to him than any champagne bottle, lap of honour or trophy presentation. Tying a headband to his forehead with the simple message – '100% Jesus'. Neymar made a clear statement of intent (to glorify Jesus) to not only the 74 thousand spectators in Berlin’s Olympic stadium but also to the millions watching on T.V. Jesus is at the center of Neymar’s life and so must take part in his celebrations.

It was Ken Sande who said, "When you draw on God's grace to put off your self-centered attitudes and act on His principles, you put His glory on display. Your life points to His vast wisdom, compassion, and transforming power, and as you look for God's glory, the impact reaches far beyond yourself because you give everyone around you reason to respect and praise God. Glorifying God is not about letting others see how great you are. It's about letting them see how great the Lord is."

Ken Sande couldn't have described Neymar better. We were made SOLELY to give God glory. He seeks avenues to show forth His glory to the world. He will use anything you do to receive glory, IF you're willing to be a channel, and not a container. There have been many crusaders in the past, who have preached great sermons: but I'm yet to see any of those crusaders, who preached Jesus to a more humongous crowd and audience at a single time. It will interest you to know that Neymar, by his singular action, preached Jesus Christ to over 380 Million viewers worldwide - through football. Let your light so shine before men, and let God be glorified through your life and career. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GLORIFY JESUS AT THE HEIGHT OF YOUR SUCCESS?
