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...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
