Who Does God Use?Sample

Day 5 – God Gets the Glory
Devotional:
When God uses us in leadership, it’s never about elevating ourselves—it’s about magnifying Him. From fishermen-turned-apostles to untrained revival preachers, God chooses leaders whose success cannot be explained apart from His power. Our role is to offer ourselves wholeheartedly, as John Calvin put it: “I offer You my heart, Lord, promptly and sincerely.” Leadership in God’s Kingdom is simply saying, “Here I am, Lord,” and letting Him do the rest. In the end, all honor belongs to Him.

Bible Verse: Matthew 5:16 – “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Discussion Question: What practical steps can you take to make sure your leadership points others to God and not yourself?

Closing Prayer: Lord, I offer You my heart—promptly and sincerely. May every influence I have and every decision I make bring glory to Your name alone. Amen.
