Key verse: Revelation 5:13
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Read: Ephesians 2:1-7
Before a man becomes born again, he is in sync with the prince of the air and other workers of darkness having his conversation like them and with them and yielding to the flesh and its lusts constantly. But by the grace that we have in Christ, something significant happened when He laid down His life for the remission of the sin of man. The Lord had thought mankind hitherto that there was need for the shedding of the blood of a lamb without blemish for the remission of sin. This the Israelites and indeed most other nations practiced and some still practice till date. But God gave us a lamb in Christ to be sacrificed for sin once and for all. That lamb, upon the completion of the sacrifice ascended to heaven and is seated on the right hand of the throne of the Father, full of glory, honor and unspeakable splendor.
Everyone on earth that takes the benefit of the once and for all sacrifice is born no more just of flesh and blood, but like the Christ was born by Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit and not the flesh, of the same Holy Spirit. This translates the fellow into a special being of sort. Though he lives on earth and among the people of the earth, he is actually a resident of heaven and occupying position right beside the Christ as a joint heir with Him. His language and conversation upon the earth is expected to change and it eventually changes with growth. The beauty of his new residence is that the everlasting glory and splendor of the Lamb that was slain now robs on him and he radiates the said glory. No wonder while he resides on earth and amongst the people of the earth, he shows forth special traits that are uncommon and he is viewed as a special being.
You can also be so manifestly blessed. All you need is to be translated to the residence of the Lamb while still on earth and you will start radiating the same glory with Christ never to cease in the radiation thereof if you will stick with Him.
Pray: Father, please keep me glued to you that I may radiate your glory forever in Jesus name.
