Choose to Be Praised by God Not Men

It’s so important that we learn to break away from the opinions of men. Anything that hinders your from speaking the truth and going after what God says is an attack from the enemy. It’s better to listen to the voice of God than to listen to the voice of man.

God’s voice will direct you to life

Man’s voice will bring you to compromise

God’s voice will lead you to success

Man’s voice will guide you to destruction

God’s voice is sometimes difficult, but in the end you will be blessed

Man’s voice will point out the easy way, but afterwards will bring a curse

You are not called to live for the approval of others, but for the divine recognition that comes when you walk faithfully before the Lord. Heaven’s “Well done” carries more weight than a thousand standing ovations from men. The Spirit of the Lord is calling you to rise above the shallow applause of men and to walk in the eternal affirmation of your Father in Heaven. Many have been ensnared by the fear of man, yet the Word declares, “The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25).

You must understand that the applause of this world is fleeting, but the praise of God endures forever. The LORD Jesus Himself declared, “I receive not honour from men” (John 5:41). Instead, He lived each day to please the Father, saying, “I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth” (John 8:50). When you choose God’s praise above man’s, you step into unshakable confidence and authentic anointing. Even if the world overlooks your obedience, the Lord who sees in secret promises to reward you openly (Matthew 6:4).

Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, for in due season He will exalt you (1 Peter 5:6). The crowns of men tarnish, but the reward of the Father is eternal: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant… enter thou into the joy of thy lord” (Matthew 25:21). This is your call, not to be admired by men, but to be affirmed by God. Stand firm in faith, for “without faith it is impossible to please Him” (Hebrews 11:6). Choose the eternal voice of God’s approval over the temporary noise of man’s applause, and you will walk in a legacy that heaven itself will celebrate.

In His service,

Pastor Dr. Jimmy Griffith
