Revelation 4:11 KJV
[11] Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
The verse above is taken from a scene in heaven, to which John is given the privilege to be a part of, and to speak of to all who aspire to be part of the heavenly choir eventually. The Lord sits on the throne, high and exalted, with undeniable glory and power. Those who are in heaven have no doubt about who is in charge, and they do not stop speaking about the glory and power of the One who sits on the throne. Heaven has no competition for authority, and even those with thrones have a higher throne before which they all bow. There is recognition, acceptance and submission to that Authority, and regular adoration and worship are offered to the One who sits on the throne. It is interesting to note that even the devil, called Lucifer, was once one of the host of heaven,, but pride would not let him stay. He was banished from heaven, and now has limited time before he is also cast into the lake of burning sulphur.
It is an awesome privilege to be given a glimpse into how heaven operates and what it permits, so we on earth can also prepare the right way. There is only one God who is worthy to receive glory, honour and power. One of the many reasons why God is worthy is given in the verse above, and it is because He is the Creator of all things. As Creator, you have a purpose for your creation, and there is feedback you would want to receive in terms of optimum performance. When that which you have made functions the right way, it gives you pleasure. From God's perspective, when my life points to His power and might, it means that other people will seek to know more about my God, leading to praise and glory. Is my life's current application leading to praise and glory to God? Am I preparing the right way for the eternal life that has been guaranteed by God to all who submit to Him? God's time of favour is here.
