Scripture:
Lift your heads, O you gates! and be lifted up, you everlasting doors! and the King of glory shall come in (Psalms 24:7).
Explanation:
If you have been following our Daily Meditation we have been studying and meditating on the glory of God. If there are things you must seek for, let the Glory of God be one of them. This is where the fullness, the presence, power, the blessings, and the supernatural manifestations are available at the will of God, but not at the will of anyone else. Today is day 23of 31 days of the Daily Meditation on the theme ‘basking in the Glory of God.’ we will look at how the King of glory can open any locked gates in your life. Have you ever come to a crossroad in your life? Then Call upon the God of glory. Gates and doors, and everlasting doors have spiritual significance. For instance, there is gate of finance, gate of promotion and more.
Let us now study a few scriptural examples that were written for our admonition:
Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting,
and His truth endures to all generations (Psalms 4-5).
Lift up your heads, O you gates! and be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah (Psalms 24:7-10).
“Thus says the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held— to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut: ‘I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.
For He has broken the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron in two (Psalm 107:16).
I pray that you will not dwell only on former glory and that a greater latter glory will be our portion in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
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:
The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place, I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Haggai 2:9).
