Heights of Glory I

Text:Job 39:13; 26-30
More Lessons: I Cor .15: 40- 45
Bible Reading in One Year: Ezekiel 46-48

There are heights of glory in the experiences of glory that men have with God. This is clearly seen even in God's creation. Isaiah said prophetically, For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron…: Isa. 60:17 showing us levels of glory. Gold, silver, brass are of greater worth and glory than iron wood or stones. May the glory you experience move from level to level and height to height. All birds fly but their heights differ. Some birds flap and generate speed for a low height while others like the eagle mount up high. You will mount high this year in Jesus’ name.

God's desire in glory for His children is to mount high not to peck on the ground like chickens. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint: Isa.40:31. Since all Christians are supposed to wait upon the Lord, it means God wants all His children to mount high as the eagle. All that desire glory in an increasing measure therefore must do the following: i) Cultivate strength to fly high. This is achieved by fellowship with God and the people of God, the more you spend time in God's presence and in God's house, the stronger you develop your wings to fly high. Strength also comes in the place of knowledge: in the Word of God and in other areas. Read broadly and read greatly. Strength also comes as you pray in the Holy Ghost. Jude 20. ii) See afar off (both horizontally and vertically). This means having foresight and wisdom. If you will experience heights of glory in God, then you must cry to him this day for wisdom and foresight. The glories and successes in store are not for shallow thinkers who lack fore sight and innovations.

As men are in sizes, life is in phases. God has greater phases for His children. Therefore, do not be satisfied with the level you presently have, there's more in God. The best is yet to come. Aim high. iii) Deal with fear of changes. Some people hate changes because of lack of foresight. You must be ready to make necessary changes to experience heights of Glory. Learn from people's failures and successes and make changes in your own life. Don't gossip about men, rather learn from them to be a better person and your height will surely change to a higher glory. See you on high places!

Prayer/Action
* Lord, take me higher today; don't allow me stay at this level.
* I am an eagle Christian, I receive strength to mount high and do great things today.
Pick a book to read this week that will add greatness to you in that desired area of your life.
