CALL TO GLORY

Text : 2 Thessalonians 2:14.

With this purpose in mind, he called you through our proclamation of the gospel so that you would obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

A number of times, when you hear call to glory, what readily comes to mind is the death of someone. In fact, on this side of the world, "call to glory" is a common description for public announcement on obituary posters. 

There's nothing glorious in the death of anyone who didn't die in Jesus Christ. As a matter of fact, God expects you to come into glory while you are still living here on earth. *Anyone who couldn't enter into God's kind of glory during his lifetime will not enter into eternal glory.* 

A true call to glory is what we are told in 2 Thessalonians 2:14 that, _whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ._ 

You are called to glory by the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many Christians can boldly tell you that they have not been called by God because they believe being called is all about being a pastor, a missionary, an evangelist and the likes.

Well, being called into the five-fold ministry is one type of calling in the Christian parlance, the other type of calling is to everyone in God's kingdom.

Once you received Jesus Christ into your life, you have been called to glory. Now, the question is which glory have you been called into? 

 *You have been called into the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ* . Undoubtedly, this world offers some sort of glory. Satan actually tempted Jesus Christ with the glories of this world. Matthew 4:8 says, _Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory._ It's obvious this world has glory in different dimensions and degrees.

What many people are looking for in Jesus Christ is the glory of this world, but what God wants to give you is the glory of Jesus Christ. Just like our master Jesus Christ, the devil is still tempting you with the glories of this world, please receive the grace to say No just like Jesus did.

1 John 2:17 says, *And the world and its desires are fading away, but the person who does God’s will remains forever.* Why should you trade eternal glory with temporary elements? Beloved, you have been called to glory, lay hold on what you have been called to.

 *BIBLE READING* : 

2 Thessalonians 2:1-17.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, I receive the grace and wisdom to enter and remain  in your glory in Jesus name.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
