THE GLORIOUS RESULT OF HIS SUFFERING BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).
The Christian is called into a life of glory and excellence. Heβs the fruit of Christβs suffering. The Bible talks about the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:11). Youβre the glory He foresaw, for which He endured the Cross and despised the shame (Hebrews 12:2). Youβre the glorious result of His suffering.
Jesus Christ is the effulgence of the Fatherβs glory; the express image of His Person (Hebrews 1:3). And thatβs exactly what Heβs made you, for the Bible says as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). He said, βAnd the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are oneβ (John 17:22). Live with this consciousness every day!
2 Corinthians 3:18 explains it some more. It lets us know that the Word of God is a mirror: βBut 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.β A mirror reflects whatever is set before it. If you stood in front of a mirror, youβd see your own reflection. The Word of God is a mirror, and the image of you that it reflects is βthe glory of Godβ; thatβs who you really are!
Youβve been glorified with Jesus. You have His life and His righteousness now, with the same Holy Spirit who raised Him from death, at work in you. This is huge! God chose you to show forth His praises and manifest His glory in the earth: βBut 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 lightβ (1 Peter 2:9).
PRAYER
Thank you Father, for Iβve been brought out of sin, sickness, disease, depression, poverty, frustrations and everything associated with Satan and darkness, into your eternal gloryβwhere I shine and reign gloriously in life by grace, through righteousness. My journey is one of glory, triumph, success and prosperity. Glory to your Name forever!
