CALL TO GLORY-2

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.

Glory is described as great beauty or splendour that is so overwhelming. It is considered powerful. Glory is honour, admiration, or distinction, accorded by common consent to a person or thing.

Being called to the glory of Jesus Christ means that God invites us—through faith in Christ Jesus to share in His life, His holiness, His purpose, and ultimately, His eternal glory. This calling is both a present reality and a future hope for every believer.

To be called to His glory first means being called into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It's not just about rules or religion, but about being united with Him.

1 Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
 *You’re invited into intimacy, friendship, and transformation through knowing Jesus. How well are you exploring and enjoying this relationship?* 

The Bible teaches that those who trust in Christ will ultimately share in His glory, meaning we will be transformed and live forever in His presence.

Romans 8:17 says,“...if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.”

Sharing in Jesus’ glory often includes sharing in His suffering. This is one truth that many believers do not want to hear. Glory follows suffering, just as just Christ suffered before entering glory, Luke 24:26, believers may walk a hard road but it ends in eternal reward and glory. Truly, when you persevere to the end, you will know and say like Paul that our light affliction here is working for us an exceeding weight of glory. (2 Corinthians 4:17).

 *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.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
