AMBITION THAT FIRES YOUR SOUL

KO E HOHOI ‘OKU FAKATUPU MAFANA KI HOTAU LAUMALIE

ROMANS 11:36

From him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

LOMA 11:36

Seuke, ‘oku tefito ki he ‘Ene ‘Afio, pea fou ‘i He‘ene ‘Afio, pea iku ki he ‘Ene ‘Afio, ‘a e me‘a fuli pē. Ke ‘o ‘Ene ‘Afio ‘a e kolōlia ‘o lauikuonga! ‘Ēmeni

 

Soli Deo Gloria – To the Glory of God Alone

Ki he Langilangi ‘o e ‘Otua Tokotaha pe   

Let nothing ever set your heart beating so mightily as love to Him. Let this ambition fire your soul; be this the foundation of every enterprise upon which you enter, and this your sustaining motive whenever zeal would grow chill; make God your only object. Depend upon it, where self begins sorrow begins; but if God be my supreme delight and only object, Let your desire for God's glory be a growing desire. Has God prospered you in business? Give Him more as He has given you more. Has God given you experience? Praise Him by stronger faith than you exercised at first. Does your knowledge grow? Then sing more sweetly. Do you enjoy happier times than you once had? Then give Him more music; put more coals and more sweet frankincense into the censer of your praise. Practically in your life give Him honour, putting the "Amen" to this doxology to your great and gracious Lord, by your own individual service and increasing holiness.
