What is the meaning of the word Glory?? Magnificence, beauty, splendour, kgalalelo!!

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
·         The tarbenacle: God’s home on earth. When Solomon built the temple 500 years later it replaced the tabernacle and God also filled it with His glory (2 Chronicles 5:13 & 14). This was destroyed again in 2 kings 25.
·         When it was
·         The overpowering sense of God’s presence.
·         Illustrates the power that lies In God’s Glory
·         Human nature could not stand the Glory, the priest in 2 Chronicles could not minister!!
·         When we are filled with God’s glory, humanness should not be able to stand,
·         With the Coming of Christ- it signified the new era-we are the temples/ church and we are the ones that embodies His glory
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
·         Christ is able to restore the glory that we lost through the purification of our sins.
·         In living our lives we must always remember that we have the nature of Christ within us
Promise:
I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols
·         When we chose to live for Christ for Him it be only Him and no other-cant be only when it suits us , but our whole being must reflect the Glory. Christ doesn’t share His glory with any other.
Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” (The story of the death of Lazarus and Martha saying he is already rotten)
·         Christ glorifies Himself, but we need the faith to be able to allow Him to show himself forth in our lives. When we believe nothing is impossible. He is able to revive the dead areas of our lives irrespective of how long they have been dead!
To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
 John 17:1-10 “READ FROM OWN BIBLE”!!
I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
·         Christ glorified the Father on earth, May we too live the lives that glorifies Him.  May the glory of the Lord be our rear guard.
·         May our lives show that his resurrection restored the glory that we have lost.
·         He has glorified us himself.
Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
·         May this be our daily prayer-May your glory manifest in my life today. May I know that your presence is with me
To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
·         May we be the embodiment of His glory forever and ever though out all generations.
·         May we continuously worship Him in splendour of Holiness-let us give Him the glory due unto His name!
·         As a church may we display the unity and holiness that was displayed in the book of 2nd Chronicles 5: 11-15
·         So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.Bottom of Form
