Scripture:
But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head (Psalm 3:3).
Explanation:
Today is the day 18 of 31 days of the Daily Meditation on the theme ‘basking in the Glory of God.’ We will look at the manifested glory of God in your life – The glory in man. The glory of God is the nature and what God is. Anywhere the Glory of God is manifested, there is His presence, His fullness, His Power, the Anointing and the blessing.
The glory of God in man allows the supernatural manifestations of His acts and works are bound to take place. Let us now study a few scriptures:
Adam falls short of the glory of God: When Adam sinned against God, it is interesting that he fell short of the glory of God. The glory of God on him departed.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:23-24).
Glory of God through salvation:
Once you are born again, you must believe and walk in the consciousness of the Glory. The scripture says that “His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him” (Psalm 21:5). 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).
You are crown with the glory of God:
You must have the conscious awareness of the invisible crown of glory and honor upon you. For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor (Psalm 8:5). But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head (Psalm 3:3).
Why is the glory in man?
You are transformed into glory and honor by the glory of God in you. “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:19).
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us (Romans 8:18).
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever (Psalm 30:12).
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.

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.
