Created and Re-Created for Glory

Friday 27 November
READ: 1 Col. 1: 27
MORE LESSON: Eph. 2: 10

God wants to glorify you and He has many reasons why He wants to do that. The first reason is that He created for you for glory. When God created man, the Bible says, …God blessed them, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Gen. 1:28. By the mere fact of being God's creation, there are five glories that He expects you to exhibit. He wants you to be fruitful, to multiply, to replenish, to subdue and to dominate. To be fruitful means to produce, bring forth and have good results to show for everything you do. To multiply means to increase. To replenish is to fill again or to renew used things. To subdue means to bring all the enemies and their works under your feet. To dominate means to be in charge and in control of everything. I pray for you today that all these glories will begin to manifest in your life.

When Adam, the first man, sinned and fell from the Garden of Eden, he was robbed of the glory of God by the devil. Thereafter, every man was born a sinner. This is the reason the Bible says, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God: Rom 3: 23. But we thank God for Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who came, shed His blood, died and rose again so that by His accomplishment, the glory of the Father might be restored to man. Any man that accepts Jesus as Lord and dedicates himself to Him is entitled to this glory.

This is the summary of the matter: by the reason of being created by God, you are entitled to five different levels of glory. Sin came and robbed you of this glory. But then Jesus came and re-created you so that you can be doubly sure of glory. A man that accepts Jesus is a new creation; he has been recreated for glory. 2 Cor 3;17-18 says, but we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Every child of God who genuinely accepts Jesus will experience the glory of God. The above Bible verse says but we all… it means all who accept Jesus Christ. If you have not accepted Him, you have to do so today. If you have not fully dedicated yourself to Him, you have to do so. Jesus is the glory that you seek. Christ in you is the hope of glory: Col 1: 27.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to forgive you all the sins that robbed you of your glory and let all your glory be restored today.
* Pray that all the glory ordained for you from creation begin to find expression in your life.
* Ask God to move you from glory to glory.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
My cutting edge shall not go blunt or be broken and I shall wax stronger by the day, in the name of Jesus.
