Everyone Can't Go With Me/Word Empowerment Ministries

Gideon couldn't take everyone with him because God had to get the glory. No one could take credit for the victory but God. Father God had to remove some people from your life because of what He does in you, for you, and through you; no man will be able to take the credit. When Abraham went and recovered Lot, the other captives, and the possessions of Sodom, the king tried to get Abraham to take some of the spoils, but Abraham refused; he said, "unless you say, I made Abraham rich" (Genesis 14:23). Some things were offered, help was offered, favors offered, but the Holy Spirit spoke strongly and said, "No." You didn't understand why you had to refuse the things(s) offered. No one will be able to say, "if I had not helped you, that would not have happened for you; or if it were not for me - you would not be where you are today, or if it were not for me, they would not even know your name. God wants your only obligation to be to people is love.
