A true worshipper is the one who seeks the kingdom of God, not the one who is building his own empire. The hunger of the true worshiper will be for the kingdom of God and His righteousness. He won't have room in his heart for a monument to man or for an attitude of self-righteousness. Many mighty ministers in recent years have fallen. On several occasions, Proverbs describes the root cause of the fall of man.
Pride is a dangerous thing.
It has a way of creeping into the hearts of even the most spiritual of men. When we experience the blessings of God, we face our greatest temptation. The most dangerous times of our Christian lives come after the great victories that we have experienced. When we receive praise, we stand in the great moment of decision. In that moment, we must humbly receive the praise accorded us and then lay it at the feet of Jesus.
