Wisdom For The Day Devotional 4 September 2023 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Glory Is Your Portion
TOPIC: Glory Is Your Portion (TREM Devotional 4 September 2023)
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” Romans 8:29-30 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
God already put you in his plan before the world began; before your father and your mother were born and before they came together, you have already been called unto glory. It’s all in God’s plan and agenda, so never accept anything less than that. We are called to a life of glory in Christ Jesus.
The first thing I want you to see is that it has always been in the heart of God that we will operate in glory. Our God is glorious. If we are made in His image, that means His plan for us is always glory. He wants to manifest His glory in every area of our lives. This has always been his plan.
Glory is your portion. Glory means God’s presence, and in His presence, there is God’s advantage. In His presence, there is divine enablement and upper hands. Glory is your heritage in Christ. It does not matter where you are, the challenges you are facing, and the pressures of life you are encountering, glory is your portion.
Our bible passage for today reveals that your result is glory. This is God’s purpose concerning you. It doesn’t matter where you were born, how you were born, or who gave birth to you, you are not an accident of birth. It doesn’t matter the challenges you are facing, God’s divine agenda for you is glory! You will not see shame. You will not see disgrace, and you will not see humiliation or disappointment. Glory is your portion! Your life will only go from glory unto glory. Stagnation is not permitted in any area of your life. God is with you and you are walking in glory.
