Focus: 2 Thessalonians 2:14 - KJV
14. Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:4-6
Every believer is called from destruction in darkness to life in the light which is made possible by the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ordinarily, man is trash in the sight of Satan; but the one who loves us has preferred us and cleansed us, that we may become His bride because He sees the jewel in what He created us to be. The sacrifice of Christ for man was made possible by His putting His glory aside to put on the skin of man. As the second Adam, He wrest from the enemy the control over the earth, which he took from the first Adam, so that it may be available again to man, through Him, the second Adam, that paid the price. Now, as the Lord has returned to the father and reclaimed His glory which He has with the father, He has been given a name that is respected in all the realms. This presupposes that His glory is not just over heaven but the earth and all the occupants of the realm beneath the earth.
What this means to us as believers is that, as we now sit on the right side of the throne of God with Christ Jesus, we share the same glory which Christ has and we operate far above all principalities and powers. That is to say, by the providence we have in Christ, we can request for angelic operations for the realm of heaven to deal with situations on earth for our purpose; cast out devils and control resources in the realm of the earth, even as we live free of the demons of hell so that they are not able to hurt us in any way. It is important to remain in the position of the glory which we occupy in Christ, by avoiding the luring of the enemy to disobey God. Such disobedience is rebellion and leads to loss of glory and the vantage seat.
SOLUTION: Stay connected to the throne of glory by avoiding sin. If you are yet to experience the glory of Christ in your life, please accept Him as Lord and Savior and you will be translated to the height of glory while still alive on earth. If you are in that space already, you are only sustained in it through righteous living. Do not fall from the height.
Please pray:
· Give thanks to God for keeping you alive till today and for keeping you in the faith as a believer (if you are not yet a believer, please tell the Lord you are ready to forsake sin and the sinful way, accept the sacrifice of Christ over your life and take Him to be the Lord of your life and Savior of your soul)
· Ask God to please keep you fortified with His hedge of fire that the enemy is never able to tamper with you, just like he could not touch Job until the hedge was moved
· Ask that the Holy Spirit keeps you in the righteousness of Christ that you may never lose the glory available to you as a believer
· Ask God to give you the courage to activate the glory you have, so that it manifests great living in you here on earth, from today
· Let God know what you desire for your life to take the turn you want, according to the will of God
