THE GLORY REALM

FEB. 27TH.  

TEXT: Psalm 8:1-9King James Version (KJV)
8 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

The natural realm is only a starting point; there is more in the realm of the spirit.

CONTEMPLATION
When man was created, he was born into a realm of glory. It was a realm of divine intimacy with the Father. It was a realm that made him the envy of the angelic beings. Though he was on earth, he was beyond mere mortal because he was made in the image of the immortal; though clothed with flesh made from earth.
He walked in the realm of glory until iniquity was found in him, that was when he lost the covering glory of God. The absence of the glory became the beginning of nakedness, shame, and misery (see Genesis 3:7, Romans 3:23 and Revelation 3:17).
He who was born immortal now has to taste the cruel sting of death (Rom 3:23) and this was how the cry for a redeemer (one who will pay the debt and help restore man back to the place of glory) began.
The greatest need of our souls is the need to return back to the realm of glory. Many are busy chasing after money, fame, prestige and other frivolities of life, thereby settling for the shadow instead of the substance.  
The realm of glory is the place we truly belong. Any life outside the realm of glory is nothing but a fish outside water.  True satisfaction in life comes from being where God expects you to be; fulfilling His agenda for your soul (see Proverbs 32:8).
It is very possible to succeed in your personal pursuit only to fail in the ultimate goal of life.        It is possible for our individual visions to be interwoven, but it is an error to devote your life to helping others fulfill their dreams while yours is unattended to (SS 1:6).
Every man must diligently bear his own burden (Galatians 6:4-5 Philippians 2:13 “Work out your salvation…” Amplified version).
PRACTICAL ISSUES
There is a place where the law of sickness and death cannot operate.  It is a place where darkness has no power to dominate. It is a place of unusual divine insight and sensitivity. It is the place of divine intimacy where the voice of God provides for you divine leading and guidance.  It is the glory realm. Where are you?
The glory realm is the place of eternal bliss and confidence. This is the place where sin cannot molest. It is the place of divine intimacy and contentment.
