TOPIC:  PRESENT AND FUTURE GLORY OF TRUE BELIEVERS. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 9
TEXT:  JOHN 17:22-26
KEY VERSE: “And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one.” (John 17:22).

Christ's final prayers for His true followers before his crucifixion contained a fervent request for believers to behold and partake in His glory. As believers on earth He has given us the glory His Father gave Him.  Christ has put in us uniqueness, honour, and majesty. He has made us incomparable to any other creature of His in this present life. Christians’ glory in present life includes the following:

(i)                              Power of son-ship.
(ii)                            Righteousness and holiness.
(iii)                           Light in the dark world.
(iv)                          Excellent knowledge of the great God.
(v)                            Fellowship with the true God.
(vi)                          Suffering on just course.
(vii)                         Protection and accompaniment of angels.
(viii)                       Anointing of the Holy Spirit
(ix)                          Love and unity among believers.
(x)                            Answer to prayers.
        
Christ has prayed that the believer may be with him where He is to behold His glory. Beholding Christ glory is being transformed into glory. The future glory of believers includes the following: Glorious resurrection body, citizenship in the new heaven and the new earth, the presence and comfort of God, the heavenly mansion, crowns, living as heavenly angels, eternal life, joys of God not yet known. As the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2:9, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

Hallelujah!

Thought for the day:  Heaven is the final home for true Christians.
Song for the day: Hallelujah is our heavenly language.
Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 15-16; 2 Corinthians 1

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
