HAVE YOU USED THE MIRROR? (The Mirror Principle Of God’s Word)

TO THE BIBLE:
2 Corinthians 3:18 AMPC
“And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.”

LET’S TALK 🗣️
Some Christians have some difficulty believing and acting according to God’s Word because they think God reasons like a human person. But God isn’t like man; we’re the ones called to be like Him, to live and act like Him. He’s made this possible through the mirror principle of the Word. 2 Corinthians 3:18 typifies the Word of God as the mirror of God. James 1:23-24 also says anyone who hears the Word of God is like a man who sees his face in a mirror. In other words, God expects you to hear His Word and do what it says, but many still don’t know how to do the Word. 
Now, the mirror principle of the Word is that you see yourself as what God sees you to be in His Word, and then, consequently, act. It’s that easy to do the Word! For example, in the Word, the mirror of God, He says, you’re a new creation in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). That’s God’s image and reflection of you. See that image and endorse it. Act like it’s true, because it’s true. Again, He shows you in the Word you’re the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21)—say and see it so. That’s His image of you. 

Seeing yourself in the Word—the mirror of God—and acting accordingly is the way to live in the reality of your inheritance in Christ. That’s how to enjoy all that God has made available to you in Christ Jesus. I urge you to use your mirror today: keep studying and listening to the Word of God. As you do, you’ll be transfigured to become more and more like the glory you see in the Word. This is the mirror principle of the Word.

GO DEEPER
James 1:23-24

PRAY 🙏
Dear Father, I thank you because your Word is my life; therefore it’s natural for me to live in, and by the Word. Today, your Word is working mightily and producing results in me because I’m empowered to do what it says, 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...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

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 ...
