God of Glory II

Read: Psa.29:1-11
More Lessons: Exo. 19:16-19
Bible Reading in one Year: Isaiah 10-12

Today, we will continue on the various meanings of glory that we may be able to step into the experience of glory. Glory is the visible manifestation of God to a man (Exo. 19: 16-19). This visible manifestation of God announces that God is at work. It’s a display of God’s power for men to see. Paul and Silas in the jail (Acts 16) experienced this when the foundations of the prison were shaken, doors opened and their bands loosed. This was similar to the Israelites’ experience when they came out to meet God at Mount Sinai.

Glory is also the fullness of God’s presence on earth. The expression of the attributes and character of God on the face of the earth, the normal acts of God are His glory, He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them: 1Sam.2:8. The acts of God, which only God does on earth are His glory. That ability to kill or make alive, bring up or pull down, make rich or make poor are His glory. The more of God a man has, the more of God’s glorious acts that man enjoys and experiences. It is the nature of God to cause men to inherit the throne of glory. God gives permanent glory to men. This day, I urge you to seek the nature and character of God and the glory will come. Do this by accepting Jesus into your life through prayer and fasting, evangelism and doing good to others. Another manifestation of the God of glory is that God’s glory on a man makes man (who ordinarily is just clay) to have dominion. The presence of God upon a man causes him to enter dominion and he becomes a ‘godbeing’ by God’s glory, . What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: Psa. 8:4-6.

God’s glory is deliberately packaged into man to have dominion on earth. This is why man can tame any creature; man can rule in various domains and operate any machine; it’s by God’s glory . You will have dominion by God’s glory, in Jesus’ name. You will dominate your enemies, you will dominate haters of glory and creatively be a blessing in your locality by His glory

Prayer/Action
* List out areas in which you desire dominion and ask for God’s glory on them.
* Declare: Oh! Lord, display Y our power in my life that men may glorify Y ou.
