Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord (Colossians
3:16).
The word “glory,” amongst several
other beautiful
synonyms, means radiance, excellence, splendour, brightness, etc. Think for a second that all such beautiful attributes are in your life, not just for God to see, but for you to express.
synonyms, means radiance, excellence, splendour, brightness, etc. Think for a second that all such beautiful attributes are in your life, not just for God to see, but for you to express.
It’s your heritage as a new creation
in Christ Jesus to express the glory of God. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye
should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into
his marvellous light.” He wants you to express the perfections, beauty and
excellence of divinity that are characteristic of your recreated human spirit.
The Lord Jesus
expressed the glory of God every day while He walked the earth. His whole life
was an extraordinary account of the miraculous and supernatural. John testified
of this saying, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth” (John 1:14). Jesus is the brightness of God’s glory, and
express image of His Person (Hebrews 1:3); and we’re like Him (1 John 4:17).
He said in John 17:22, “And the glory which
thou gavest me I have given them….” You’re a sharer as well as the carrier and
dispenser of His glory. Therefore, “Arise, shine; for thy light is
come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee” (Isaiah 60:1). Do things and
speak words that inspire honour, worship and praise to the Lord.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I
thank you for making me the expression of your glory to my world. The more of
your Word I imbibe in my spirit through meditation, the more your glory
increases in my life. Therefore, my profiting is evident to all; your anointing
upon my life is increased; grace, favour, effectiveness and efficiency are
increasing in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
1 Timothy 4:15-16
Meditate upon these things; give
thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
(16) Take heed unto thyself, and unto
the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself,
and them that hear thee.
HEBREWS 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of
the thoughts
and intents of the heart.
