There is a difference between testifying about the goodness of the Lord and bragging.
The founder and senior pastor of Eternity Network International popularly known as Koinonia, Apostle Joshua Selman reveals the difference between sharing a testimony and bragging on the altar in one of his sermons.
Bragging puts you at the center, and it directs people to focus on you, in such a situation, God is not glorified.
There is a point in your life where you need to tell God that you are available, let nations glorify God through you, let nations see that God can build through your life.
When God does great things through my life and through this ministry, sometimes when people are saying all kinds of nice things, I am happy and blessed honestly, but the one that moves me is when they say that they have seen God glorified.
When your life is determined to reveal God, God will pour a measure of that glory upon you, and nations will look at you and wonder what sort of a man are you, what sort of grace do you carry, what sort of possibilities are you commanding? This is what God wants to do in a life of someone, he wants to change you from the inside out. He wants to place a mighty anointing upon your life, so that when men look at you, they wil see Jesus.
The mandate in this teaching is to experience the God of the Bible, and to derive from that experience wisdom, power and wealth. When God puts you in that position that was made available by your experience with him, the idea is to give him all the glory and use your result to direct the attention of men back to him.
