How to Reflect the Glory of God

Message for Sunday the 11^th of June, 2017

Theme: Positioning for the Glory of God

Topic: How to Reflect the Glory of God

Introduction: So far, we have seen what glory means and that man has no glory means and that man has no glory of his own. Man is designed by God to reflect His glory to become glorious. This explains why it is necessary for the glory of the Lord to be risen upon us before we can arise and shine. While we are at this, let us note the following truths about the glory of God in relation to man.

1.     We are the light of the world: Therefore, glory is our destiny. It takes light to glow. We are as a city set on a hill that cannot be moved. Jn.5:13-16.

2.     To shine as light which also means to reflect God’s glory, we must do so by good works: It is the good works we do that the heathen would see and come to our light. Isa.60:1-3; Eph.2:10 and Dan.12:3.

How to do good works: Until the work you do is the one ordained for you by God before the foundation of the world, it cannot be called God work. See Eph.2:10; Gen.50:18-21. For us to do good works therefore, we have to take the following steps:

First we sincerely enquire from God to know exactly why He made us because that would solve the puzzle of why we were born to us. If the Lord does not reveal our purpose to us, we cannot know it and we cannot begin to run in the course He has charted for us. Thus we have to seek God in prayer for a divine revelation of our purpose.

Second, God would respond to us by unfolding His plan to us through a vision. This is not ambition or a chosen carrier; it is a product of your discovery from God of His plan for your life. God’s vision creates your goals and enables you to plan the life He intends for you.

Thirdly, we run with the vision in the following ways:

1.     You make it plain on table: In other words, commit your vision into writing. Hab.2:2-3;

2.     Strategize with it for accomplishment: Where vision is, the people can make laws for themselves to guide them in enabling them to fulfill their divine purpose. Prov.29:18; Lk.14:28-33. This is planning. To fail to plan is to plan to fail. Planning cannot be compromised in the life of anyone who is going somewhere.

We shall conclude here today but next week, we shall continue the part two of the above topic by looking the five pillars we would need to understand and embrace to enable us position properly to reflect God’s glory. Meanwhile, there is someone reading this material now who is yet to make the first commitment of the new birth. This is the foundation for reflecting the glory of God as the glory cannot be reflected by dead spirits. Everyone who is not born again is a dead spirit and therefore not alive enough to reflect the glory of God. If you are in this category and desire to make it right with God at once, you can do so right away by saying the following prayer out loud in faith and you will be born again:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
