THE POWER AND GLORY!

Matthew 6:13 AMPC

And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

God will not share His glory with another according to Isaiah 42:8 and because of His power, Luke 1:13 says nothing is impossible with Him. God’s power and glory are part of the doxology that comes at the end of the Lord's prayer. If we don’t thirst for God, we don’t search for Him and can’t see His glory. It's in the glory of God that miracles happen, the power of God is manifested within His glory. Our mindset should be that of allowing the glory of God to be reflected in our daily lives and His power to help us overcome daily challenges for His praise. The glory of God appears to everyone but not everyone recognizes it as the tangible presence of the Lord. The power, that energy by which the kingdom of God is governed and maintained and without which spiritual titles and offices make authority ridiculously useless.

Glory is the unique splendour of God!

The glory of God can be described in two senses. It can be a general category or attribute. It can also be a specific category. The latter refers to historical demonstrations of his presence.

God’s glory refers primarily to his majestic beauty and splendour. It also refers to the expression of God’s character (Romans 3:23).

We are weak and can't do anything without the power of God, but God is almighty, and all things are possible with Him. Thine is the glory! That is, God is the honour or praise. Not our honour; but God’s glory! His goodness is displayed in providing for us! His power, in defending us! His praise in causing His kingdom to spread through to the world through the word.

John 17:22 says God has given us glory through Jesus Christ: this means we participate in all the attributes and essence of God through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, and the visible glory of God in our lives is seen by men. As Christ said, the glory which thou givest me I have given them”—that is, the power to work miracles, and to preach the unadulterated truth, He has communicated to all those who believe, or shall believe in Him, the glorious privilege of becoming sons of God.

The 'Gloria in Excelsis (Glory... in the highest), in which the hosts of heaven praised God for His wondrous love to mankind shown in the incarnation: the angels were praising God in the highest heaven for Christ's Nativity while on earth men enjoy peace with God and peace and goodwill with one another says Luke 2:14.

We must learn to and desperately always seek the glory of the Lord and not only His hands, for it is His glory that changes man, and His power that grants us the ability to act with authority over the powers of darkness. This is the shekinah glory of God. This means the “dwelling glory.” It refers primarily to the presence of God in the pillar of cloud and fire in the Old Testament.

The power and authority of the believer to carry out the great commission of Matthew 28:20 is revealed and empowered by the glory of God, the person of God is revealed in His glory according to Isaiah 40:5, and the power of revelation is seen and utilized with authority through grace to the glory of the Father. All power and glory belong to God, and He chose to give us the power to do exploits and cause His glory to rest on us in Isaiah 60:1. Romans 11:36 says the universe owes its origin to God, was created by Him, and has its aim and purpose in Him. To Him be the glory throughout the Ages! Amen.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

·       In what areas of my life do I need to deliberately allow the glory of God to be reflected daily?

·       Do I truly thirst for God, or have I become passive in seeking His presence and glory? (From the statement “If we don’t thirst for God, we don’t search for Him and can’t see His glory.”)

·       How am I using the power God has given me to advance His kingdom and walk in spiritual authority?

PRAYER: Glorious God, thank you for being all-powerful and yet willing to pour out your glory on me and empower me for exploits in Jesus’ name. Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
