YOU ARE THE GLORY OF GOD!
MAIN TEXT:Hebrews 1:3; 2 Corinthians 3:18;1peter 2:9.
MEMORY TEXT:"That the GOD of our LORD JESUS CHRIST,the Father of glory,may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him."(Ephesians 1:17 BBE).
There is a way that God sees you, and the His image of you must become the image you have of yourself.That would be your right self-image.for example in 1 peter 2:9, He says you are "PECULIAR".That means special,one of a kind.you are in a class of your own and the best of you God's got. In Ephesians 1:17,the Bible calls our heavenly Father,the Father of glory. Now,if He is the Father of glory,what is His child's name? Glory! you are "Glory" because you are his child. So God sees you as "Glory" and calls Himself the "Father of Glory".isn't that wonderful?
The Bible says Jesus Christ is the effulgence(brilliance,radiance,outshining) of the Father's glory(Hebrews 1:3).Talking to the Father, Jesus said :"the glory which you have given to me i have given to them:"(John 17:22). That's you. Thus, today, God has made you-the effulgence of His glory,for as Jesus is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17).so you see,your name is glory.you were born to be the glory of God.
I would to God you'd understand this and make it your daily confession! Every now and again,say, "Father I thank you, I am the glory of God, and I express who I am today."That's your calling, to express the glory of God . The Bible says "Christ in you the hope of glory"(Colossians 1:27); that means He's in you, to carry on His glory; to express it to your world. what a calling!
2 Corinthians 3:18 tells us when we look into the mirror (word), we see the glory of God, and as we keep looking,we are metamorphosed; we are changed into the same image from glory to glory,even as by the spirit of the lord.what does this means? what does a mirror do? it reflects whatever is set before it. so, if you were standing in front of a mirror, you'd see your own reflection. so,here, the word of God says when you look at the mirror of God, which is the word of God, what you see is the glory of God. That's because when you look into the mirror,you're expected to see yourself.
God is saying to you today," you're my glory;that reflection;that glory that you see when you look into the mirror-the word-is who you really are!"your name is "the glory of God" so go ahead right now and call yourself by! say " I am the glory of God, and every step I take today is the step of glory.The glory of God will always be manifested in my life." Think and talk like this every day and your life will be that of ever increasing glory.
PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father,thank you for bringing me into the life of ever increasing glory. I declare that everywhere i go, your glory is revealed and manifested through me, for I am not just a carrier of your glory,but your glory personified. I walk in this consciousness today,in Jesus' Name.Amen.
