There is how the world knows you, there is how the brethren know you and there is that perception of yourself that you have.
Many times we over rate ourselves. At other times, it is as a result of the flattery from the world and even the Church. They make us feel we are on course of our destiny at a 5000% rate.
They psyche us with spiritual banters, 'the very great woman of God' (GWOG). They already give us the Apostle's tag, when we are only just scratching the surface of our destiny. They tag us superintendent Evangelist when we have only ministered to 2.5% of the souls expected of us.
Sweet as flattery may sound, even self deception, I thought to remind you, that very soon, you shall know as you are known by the master. Whether the dichotomy is large or not, you shall know. Whether all you have been chastised on earth about will determine your eternal destiny, though you rejected the chastisement so badly, someday you shall know.
Soon we shall all know as we are known by our saviour.
Do you know that hymn? The last verse trips me. . . Where Thou leadest we would go, Walking in Thy steps below, Till before our Father's throne WE SHALL KNOW AS WE ARE KNOWN.
