Your Devotional message for 11th July 2021
Scripture:
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27, NKJV).
Explanation:
In our day 12 of 31 days of the Daily Meditation on the theme basking in the Glory of God, we will look at the Mystery that Paul wrote to the Colossians – Christ in you, the hope of glory. Paul wrote: “To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Paul had this deeper understanding by the Spirit of God, what is meant by Christ in you. There are three kinds of glory:
As Manifest glory: The Glory of God showing.
Ascribed glory: this is the glory ascribe to God when we praise him.
Intrinsic glory. It is the sum and substance of all that God is.
Let us examine other attributes of the riches of the glory.
The blessing of the Lord
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God (Deuteronomy 28:2).
The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22).
Signs and wonders:
So, the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders (Deuteronomy 26:8).
He delivers and rescues, And He works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, Who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions (Daniel 6:27).
Prophesy:
In the mist of the glory, God speaks.
And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives (Deuteronomy 5:24).
Glory be to God.
Say I am a carrier of the glory of God. Study and meditate on the Word of God. Pray in the Spirit often. Expect and ask God to manifest His Glory and the Angelic ministration.
Thanks be to God for His glory.
Stay tune as we shall continue further tomorrow. Remain uncommonly blessed.
In the Month of July 2021, do not miss any day as we will be exploring ‘Basking in the glory of God’
Faith Confession for Power:
Thank you, Lord for the Spirit of the Lord is at work in me. Let the sight of the glory of the Lord be as a consuming fire around my life that make my adversaries to flee.
It is written, “And my speech and my preaching will not be with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power” (1 Corinthians 2:4). Behold, I receive the authority and power to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me. Therefore, I rule over Satan and his cohort of darkness. I operate in the great Power of God for His great works – Healings, miracles and signs and wonders. The word of God is in my mouth like Fire and as I meditate, it permeates to the deep part of my Spirit, soul, and body. I am manifesting the power and the glory of God.
I prosper in my spirit, soul, and body. My life is flourishing in all areas of life as well as my health even as my soul prospers. Prosperity and success are mine in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Further Reading scriptures to meditate:
Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles (Acts 2:43).
