And all of
us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of
God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured
into His very own image in ever increasing splendour and from one degree of
glory to another…(2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP).
When you
study the Word of God, you’re actually looking into the mirror of God. Our
opening verse tells us that what you see in the mirror of God as you “look”
(study the Word), is the glory of God. It means that as you steadfastly behold
the glory of God, in the Word of God, you’re metamorphosed; changed into the
glory that you see in the Word. O, how powerful this is!
The Word of
God mirrors you; it shows you your identity, origin, and heritage in Christ
Jesus. When I preach the Gospel and teach others the Word, I hold God’s mirror
to them so they can see themselves in the Word, know who they are, as well as
their rights and abilities in Christ! The one who came to church thinking he’s
unworthy and underserving of God’s love suddenly sees that he’s loved of God.
The one who thought he was a condemned sinner suddenly discovers that he’s been
made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. That’s the power of God’s Word;
not only does it show you who you are, it also imparts to you the ability to
live accordingly.
It reminds
me of a certain young man who had lost his mind, but was brought to one of our
meetings. As the Word of God was taught, the anointing came on him and he was
restored to his right mind. When I noticed, I called out to him and asked him
his name, and he responded intelligently; something he hadn’t been able to do
for many years, prior to that time. More than a year later, I saw him, and
asked him how he was doing. He said, “I’m doing very well; I even got a job
now.”
See
yourself the way God sees you in His Word, and act accordingly. The Word says
you’re the righteousness of God—accept it, and live accordingly. Keep studying
and listening to the Word of God, for the more you do, the more you’re
transfigured to become the glory that you see in the Word.
PRAYER: Dear
Father, I thank you for giving me the ability to see the glorious realities in
your Word, thus, seeing who I am and what you’ve called and made me. I declare
that by your Spirit, limitations, troubles, diseases and pains, are passed
away, and all things are new. I’ve received a brand new life of victory,
strength and courage, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
