A CALLING TO GLORY AND VIRTUE
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).
The verse above says God has called us to glory and virtue. That means we’ve been called to a life of honour, heavenly dignity, and excellence. No matter what situation you find yourself in, your life is one of honour, dignity and excellence. Glory to God!
The Amplified Classic says He “…called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).” There should be no mediocrity in your life because excellence is working in you.
The Apostle Paul says, “We encouraged you, we comforted you, and we kept urging you to live the kind of life that pleases God, who calls you to share in his own Kingdom and glory” (1 Thessalonians 2:12 GNB). What a life He’s given us! How could you live an ordinary life when you have a calling to glory and virtue?
It doesn’t matter how dark and gloomy things get in this world; be unruffled because your journey in life is one direction only: upward and forward. You’re not of this world! Your path is different. It’s a path of glory and excellence, prosperity and success, peace and joy. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
My life is for the glory of God and I experience His goodness and mercies today; my life is one of honour, excellence, praise, glory and thanksgiving to the Lord at all times. Hallelujah!

I’m very grateful to God for His servant, Pastor Chris. I have recently just started listening to him on YouTube on the subject…Holy Spirit, how to lead by the HS etc. I have to say, it has blown my mind away, I mean there are so much insights, Godly wisdom & knowledge, revelation of God’s word & so much more & I have decided to sow into this ministry on a monthly basis as the Holy Spirit lead me to do so. To God be the glory!! And I thank God for your ministry. For your teaching of the bible has brought me up to a whole new level in my faith! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
