THE GLORY IS YOURS TO WALK IN
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one (John 17:22).
John 17 recounts the beautiful prayer of the Lord Jesus, a profound and intimate moment that marked the culmination of His farewell discourse to His disciples, just before His arrest and crucifixion. In those precious words, the Lord Jesus spoke to the Father with deep love for His disciples, desiring their protection, unity, and sanctification.
Part of His endearing and amazing words is what we read in our opening scripture. He said, “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them….” How extraordinary this is! He gave us His glory. Blessed be God! Many Christians pray, “Oh God, we will not take your glory.” Though this sounds religious, it’s unnecessary and incongruous with His truth.
The glory that Jesus received from the Father, He has given to us. Jesus Himself said it, and this glory is ours to walk in. Think about what this glory represents. In the Old Testament, the garment of the priest symbolized glory and righteousness. It was known as the robe of righteousness, and Jesus has clothed us with that very glory. Hallelujah!
Part of walking in God’s glory is walking in His divine provisions. To live in lack, sickness, poverty, or sin is not glorious. You’re called to walk in victory, in abundance, and in divine health. You’re called to reign in life. Walk in this consciousness every day, and you’ll see the manifestation of His power and abundance in your life.
Refuse to settle for less than what God has already provided for you. You’re a prince of power with God; called, sanctified, justified, and glorified. Therefore, manifest His glory everywhere: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9).
PRAYER
Righteous Father, thank you for the glory you’ve given me in Jesus Christ. I’m endued with this glory, and I live above lack, sickness, and fear. I walk boldly in your glory, confident that all my needs have been entered into your supply system, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
