The problem arises when many want to do big things for God but not many are willing to allow God to be big in their lives.
It is difficult to find and disciple someone who would allow God to be big in their lives and would therefore go on and do big things for God. Many people want to reach the end product of doing big things for God but not many people are willing to go through the process of God growing bigger in their lives because that would mean a painful process of pruning, of us giving up our pride, our sinful nature, of searching ourselves deep within, of constantly humbling ourselves with God's mercy and grace, of submitting under the authority that God has instituted or even submitting yourself to the scrutiny of your inner being by your overseers.
We miss the point altogether when we desire to do big things for God and end up using that to cover up for our weaknesses and sins.
Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
~ 1 Peter 2:16 ~
Having said that, i have nothing against doing big things for God, in fact, as we're ready internally and if God chooses to use us, Praise God! Let's continue to grow in our inner being, character and core values and i believe how God will use us according to the level of our faith. Leaders, as we look to do big things for God, do not forget that this desire has to stem from God being that big in our lives in the first place.
Let's not take our eyes off making God bigger in our lives yeah?
