The chief end of man and the chief end of ministry is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. God is committed by the very nature of his divine righteousness to always act on behalf of his glory. 

He wills to display it and magnify it. And that brings us back to where we began. "You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you."

And therefore his glory is at stake in the fruitfulness of your ministry. 

This is our prayer every day of your life and throughout all your ministry you can pray with tremendous confidence: Have mercy upon us, O God, and help us, Lord Jesus, lest your name be dishonored and your glory diminishe
