IT’S THE SAME GLORY!
(The Lord has Given and Made you His Glory) 

📖TO THE BIBLE  
John 17:22 GNB
“I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one.

▶️LET’S TALK
There’re those who say, “God never shares His glory with anyone.” Yes, He wouldn’t share His glory with pagan gods. Remember He said in Isaiah 42:8 (GNB), “I alone am the Lord your God. No other god may share my glory; I will not let idols share my praise,” it’s clear that He was talking about not sharing His glory with idols. But with us, His children, He did better than share His glory with us: He gave us the same glory He has, and then made us that glory. He’s made you a partaker of His glory, and that’s a fact! 
You share Jesus’ glory with Him and He doesn’t mind; He gave it to you in the first place! Not to believe or accept this isn’t humility but ignorance. Moreover, the Bible says, God also glorified those He predestined, called, and justified (Romans 8:30). You’ve been glorified! Jesus Christ is the express image of God’s Person. He’s the effulgence of the glory of God. The Bible says: “…He (Jesus) received from God the Father honor and glory…” (2 Peter 1:17). Now, the same glory the Father gave Him is what He’s freely given to you. 

No wonder He says, “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1). You’re the epitome of God’s glory. Reading 2 Corinthians 3:18, you discover that you can see the glory of God in God’s mirror, which is His Word. This means when you stand before the mirror of God—His Word—what you see, which is the glory of God—is actually yourself. Therefore, not only has He given you His glory, He’s made you His glory! You’re the expression of God’s glory today!


▶️ GO DEEPER:
John 17:20-22 NIV; Ephesians 1:15-19

🗣 PRAY 
Dear Father, I thank you for glorifying me with the glory of your Son, Jesus Christ! That glory is evident in my physical body, my schoolwork, and in all areas of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

TUESDAY, JULY 1ST 2025 CUSTODIANS OF A MESSAGE THAT WORKS For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Gospel of Jesus Christ that we preach is a message that truly works. It’s a message that produces undeniable results for everyone who believes it. It’s the reason you must be quick and bold to share it with others. I remember talking to a man who had a very severe heart condition. The doctors had diagnosed him with heart failure and said he needed a transplant. But as I shared the Gospel with him, I said, “While I’m talking with you, there’ll be a change in your heart. All you have to do is believe what I’m telling you; just believe and give me a few minutes of your attention.” He agreed. So, I kept talking to him, sharing with him the words of life. After about 15 minutes, I said to him, “It’s done.” And he replied, “Yes; it’s done.” The next test conducted on him ...
