What Is the Price of Fame? (insert Bob Dylan interview)
When Elvis Presley’s step-brother David Stanley was asked “what killed your brother?” he did not reply – “drugs” as everyone in the audience expected – he simply said; “fame killed my brother.”
Make sure you consider very carefully what you are willing to trade for the good and much needed plan that God has for your life. Remember the devil tempted the lord Jesus, offering him everything, and if the Lord had accepted Jesus’s mission would have been thwarted and the entire plan for salvation hijacked!
God is not a soft God and doesn’t stand for disobedience. The Jews wandered for 40 years in the wilderness because they went after other plans, idols and desires. Their desire was rarely for the things of God for their lives.
It is my firm belief that many – perhaps most Christians have accepted things in their life which means that God cannot bless them with the things he intended until they are free from these things.
