Theme: My God: My Glory

Anchor Text: Psalms 3:3
[3]But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

Back in the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve enjoyed all of God's abundance and blessings. Everything was at their command. Their authority upon the Earth was final.

When they sinned against God and rejected His rule, they lost something important: They lost glory. Apparently all the while they were both naked but couldn't notice it because God's glory covered their insecurities.

The Hebrew word for glory is 'kabod'. The literal meaning of kabod is weighty or heavy. The Hebrews spoke of kabod as the weightiness or heaviness of God's Presence. So when God's Presence was revealed upon the mountain, they saw the weightiness of God's Presence; in a way it was always noticeable.

God's Glory in a man's life will always be noticed by others around. It is a unique weight that acts like a covering around such a man. As long as Adam and Eve were in obedience to God they enjoyed the weighty presence of God's Presence that they didn't notice their nakedness.

A man who has God's Glory despite his frailties and weaknesses will always be covered. The Glory covers our weaknesses and reveals our strenghts.

So David wrote the Psalm 3 when he was running from his son Absalom. He still called God his glory. A man who was running away still felt God was his glory. You know we think of glory as appearing and manifesting when things are good. However David knew that in bad times as long as you still had God, the glory remained. It was because of this glory that men were still obedient and loyal to David in his most trying time. They couldn't see the current state of David rather they saw the greatest king of Israel.

When God is a man's glory, promotion and elevation comes easily. David said God is his glory and the lifter of his head. From being forgotten in the bush where he took care of sheep, God the lifter of his head lifted him to become king over all of Israel.

God's Glory in a man's life is so important that despite God telling Moses that my Presence will go with you, he wasn't satisfied with that. He still asked for Glory. God's Presence can be with you albeit subtle that others might not even be aware of. But when Glory comes the weighty Presence of God cannot be denied by anyone around. Moses came down with the glory and men couldn't look at his face.

Confession: God is my Glory and the lifter of my head. I will only manifest the best. God's Glory changes my level and brings me to the place of celebration. God's glory upon my life causes others to recognize God's sovereignty. I am a carrier of God's glory.

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
