A BETTER GLORY

-
Psalm 3:3
But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

David was a man who understood how to enjoy fellowship with God. It was a handful of men over the years of the old testament period who understood what it was to fellowship with God. Others saw God as away, unreachable and fellowship "non-communical" Yet in all they cannot compare with the fellowship we have today in God.

Jesus talked about the wealthy decoration and wisdom of Solomon and then declared "a greater than Solomon is here"

If only we understand what we have.

Philemon 1:6
 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 1:19
And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

A greater power, a greater glory, a better inheritance.

However can we face the trials: can we be taken captive as a slave? (Joseph)

Can we roam around as a fugitive in the wilderness? (David)

Can we resist the king's meat, can we risk the lion's den? (Daniel)

Can we risk being thrown into overheated fire (Daniel's three friends)

Can we risk being thrown into jail, beaten in the streets, stoned, insulted, ridiculed or scorched? (the disciples of Christ)

Yet we claim to have a greater revelation a higher glory. Selah

For truely:

2Timothy 3:12
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

I love the Lord, He said He will not give us more than what we can bear, and for every temptation there is a way of escape. Glory to God.

Every challenge we face is for our good and we will always come forth triumphant, only if we refuse to be carried away in the flesh.

Every tribulation is for a short while, we will soon rejoice in victory.

1 Peter 5:10-11
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].
To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

We have a better covenant, we enjoy a glorious fellowship in the spirit, great power is available to us. May we make the most of it.

We are the blessed.

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same
