SHORT OF GLORY

Text: Romans 3:23. 

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

What happened in the garden of Eden to mankind was by no means a small fall. When our first parents fell, the whole of mankind born and unborn fell from grace and glory.

Essentially,  man was created for glory. Like always begets like. A glorious God can't create anything short of 'glory'.  But the fall of man took man away from that glorious estate and realm.

Romans 3:23 clearly affirms that all ( everyone born by a woman ( have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 

Another version of the Bible says all have sinned and continue to fall short of God’s glory. (Roman 3:23, ISV). Man is in a perpetual state of fall from God's glory. 

However, God didn't leave man in this fallen state, in His mercy, He has opened a way out for us. For as many who are in Christ, they have access to the lost glory. 2 Peter 1:3 says we have been called to glory and virtue. 

1 Thessalonians  2:12 says, That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

In Christ Jesus, You have been called unto glory. Grow up in Him and you will and come up to the glory He has called you to.

Bible Reading:

2 Peter 1:1-4.


PRAYER FOCUS

Father Lord, I receive the grace to live up to your original plans for my life.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
