TEXT: 2 Corinthians
3:7-18
Sometimes we often
become too familiar with the presence of God upon the life of a servant of God
or in a place of worship and we begin to lose all that would have been in our
favour. Take some time to thank God for the privilege of encountering Him in
some lives and places. Do something to show your gratitude.
CONTEMPLATION
“Many are
struggling to worship because they can’t see or
hear
spiritually. They are trying to access the realm of worship
in the flesh,
and this is not possible. Until we respond to
the call like
John, we will never be able to enter the throne
room. “…Those
who worship Him must worship Him in spirit
and in truth.” FFPW
p92.
It is a waste of time
trying to encounter God by your intellect. “God is a spirit: and they that
worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” any man who disciplines
himself to allow the word gain access into his being will one day be given
extraordinary access into the realm of glory.
The difference between a passive worshipper and a passionate worshipper
is the degree of glory they are in fellowship with. Some are limited in worship
because they only respond to a planned order of worship, but there are others
whose worship is a divine response to a divine call. Every man who is
continuously in the presence of God has a sweet advantage ahead of others in
all aspect of life. Make the Holy Spirit your sweet and active companion and
you will too begin to take the lead over others.
PRACTICAL ISSUES
You cannot encounter
new degree of glory except your hunger exceeds your present realm of glory.
No one, church or body
is responsible for the degree of glory made manifest in your life. It is up to
you.
If you have lost
respect and admiration for people and places that once stirred up excitement in
your spirit chances are, you have become insensitive and full of yourself.
Jesus was the fullness of the godhead bodily yet He held in high esteem the
ministry of the prophets before Him. A greater or a peculiar anointing is not a
license to disrespect others. Daily Devotional by Rev. Igho L. Y; the Glorious Fountain Ministries.
