Let
the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord (Colossians 3:16).
The word “glory,” amongst several other beautiful synonyms,
means radiance, excellence, splendour, brightness, etc. Think for a second that
all such beautiful attributes are in your life, not just for God to see, but
for you to express.
It’s your heritage as a new creation in Christ
Jesus to express the glory of God. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye
should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into
his marvellous light.” He wants you to express the perfections, beauty and
excellence of divinity that are characteristic of your recreated human spirit.
The Lord Jesus expressed the glory of God
every day while He walked the earth. His whole life was an extraordinary
account of the miraculous and supernatural. John testified of this saying, “And
the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John
1:14). Jesus is the brightness of God’s glory, and express image of His Person
(Hebrews 1:3); and we’re like Him (1 John 4:17).
He said in John 17:22, “And the glory which
thou gavest me I have given them....” You’re a sharer as well as the carrier
and dispenser of His glory. Therefore, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come,
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee” (Isaiah 60:1). Do things and
speak words that inspire honour, worship and praise to the Lord.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for making me
the expression of your glory to my world. The more of your Word I imbibe in my
spirit through meditation, the more your glory increases in my life. Therefore,
my profiting is evident to all; your anointing upon my life is increased;
grace, favour, effectiveness and efficiency are increasing in my life, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Timothy 4:15-16NLT - Give your complete attention to
these matters. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your
progress.16 Keep a close watch on how you live and on
your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and
the salvation of those who hear you.
Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
