God of Glory I

For any man to experience glory, he must have contact with the God of glory. There are definite meanings of glory and explanations for glory that must be understood before a man can really partake of glory. When these things are understood, a man can pray aright for glory and step into the experience of that glory .

The Oxford dictionary defines glory as a special cause or reason for pride. God will give you things to be proud of, in Jesus’ name. The reverse is shame; things of shame are things you want to hide from others because you are ashamed of them. But the desire of the God of glory is to give you things to be proud of.

Pause a bit in meditation and list those glorious things that you will like to see in your life that will give you pride: a debt free life, a beautiful home, a flourishing career, a distinguished academic performance, a loving spouse and godly children, good position in high places of the earth. Make the list because it is God’s desire and delight to give you those things.

Secondly, glory is defined as anything that brings splendor. These are the blessings of God upon your life that bring splendor and glory. God is a glorious God that blesses His people with things that bring splendor and honour. Stay with God; forget all alternatives to Him and you will see His glorious splendour Jn.11:40. Believe in God’s promises as spelt out in His Word and you’ll see the glory of God.

Thirdly, glory is the spiritual visa that gives access to the best things of life. It’s a currency to get the good things of life. Therefore, seek the glory of God because when sought, it brings the experience of “Doxa”. Doxa is a Greek word for splendor, beauty and reputation. When a man seeks the glory of God in whatever he does and with the best things of life, such a man will not be at the receiving end of evil and terrible events. Rather, because he seeks God’s glory, he will be beautified and experience splendor. Seek God’s glory at work and at play; choose to be different by refusing to cheat and extort in order to make it as others do.

When you do so, God’s glory will not only be revealed but it will also be seen in your life and all endeavours. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God
