"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:..." Rev. 4:11.
The illumination of one's light is to the glory of God. He particularly designed all things to reveal His mightiness, that is why it is so important to Praise Him. (Matthew 5:16)
It's only a mere privilege for one to be a source of the illumination of God's light.
The beginning of the downfall of a Man is when He tries to share in the Glory of God or rather want the glory to be awarded to Him instead of God.
Every gifts or talents embedded in Man is mainly for enablement of the Man's effectiveness in the body of Christ, for the perfecting of the saints (Eph. 4:12)
Honoring God with all the credits of your achievement opens an access to greater achievements.
A hearty appreciation is a source of increase/multiplication (John 6:9-13).
Upon every activities or spiritual operations you've been involved in, who is the Glory being awarded to??
You need to be careful of this thing that seem so little, sometimes we do it unconsciously, and it's one of the little foxes that spoils our vine(Songs of Songs 2:15), but be reminded, or rather remind yourself always, "God owns all the Glory", and He isn't willing to share it with any man (Isaih 42:8).
Every good things comes from God(James 1:17), and even a man receives nothing except He is given from Heaven (John 3:27).
God is the source, so all credits should go straight to the source and not the avenue of expression.
