I Chronicles 29:25 KJV
And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
King Solomon didn’t magnify himself but it was the Lord who magnified him exceedingly. When God magnifies you He does it exceedingly so that people can see the evidence of His works in your life. You may have come from a small family or background where no one expected that someone from that place or background would one day amount to anything but through God’s hand today He has touched you and has magnified you exceedingly. Even though we don’t go through the same magnification process nevertheless those who abide in Him are bound to be magnified.
The main reason for us to be magnified is to do God’s works and bring glory to His name. That is why you are where you are because God has to touch other people through you. No one can remove what God has bestowed upon you; hence it is your responsibility to hold fast to what He has given you. Those who have been magnified by God know the value of this magnification because it is not from their own good works but it is by God’s grace. As much as God has gracefully blessed you he can just as easily take it away from you, when you lean on your own understanding instead of trusting in Him. (Deuteronomy 28:1)
