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...

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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
