NOVEMBER. 9TH
TEXT: Romans 8:14-19 Amplified Bible (AMP)
14 For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “[a]Abba! Father!”
16 The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God.
17 And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.
18 For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us!
19 For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed.
There is a limit to which the power of darkness can hold a man captive. The word of the Lord says, the entrance of the word gives light and understanding to the simple. When a man’s’ life is saturated with the word of God he becomes flooded with divine light and suddenly he will begin to conceive ideas that transform into liberating force to release him to a greater dimension of glory. What you carry on the inside determines how far you can go in life. When Mary got overshadowed by the power of the Most high, she became saturated with the glory of God.
The Scripture says as soon as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the baby in her womb leaped for joy. Mary walked in loaded with the liberating power of God and the unborn John the Baptist felt the anointing.
No man becomes full with the presence of God and remains the same. At this time Mary was pregnant with Jesus, she was pregnant with the glory of God. If you are full of the glory, everything that comes out of you will become glorious. There is a glory on your inside waiting to be made manifest, your generation is waiting for you. If the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, that same Spirit will quicken, empower your mortal body (Rom. 8:11).
If you have got the glory, then you are among the ones to write a new chapter in the history of your generation for the next five years and beyond. So do not write yourself off with a slavish mentality, your generation is waiting for your light. Rise up and make history. When the light of God’s glory is on you, people cannot ignore you anymore. It is your time and God is determined to do something awesome in your life. Ask the Lord for help and He will fill you with His glory.
