Live Out the Glory of God's Kingdom

God's Kingdom is a Kingdom for all ages, 

and His dominion endures through all generations.

PSALM 45:13

Jesus said, “You will see greater things than this. Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” (Jn 1:50-51)

Today, the Lord makes known to you His might and the glorious splendor of His Kingdom (Ps 145:11). Discourse of the glory of God's Kingdom and speak of His might (Ps 145:12). 

The angel of the Lord shall take you in spirit to a great high mountain. It gleamed with the splendor of God. Its radiance was like that of a precious stone. It had a massive, high wall, with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed. There were three gates facing east, three north, three south, and three west. The wall had twelve courses of stones as its foundation. (Rev 21:9-14)

God shall dwell with you. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth (Ps 145:18). God wants the best for you. He shall build you a very costly house in the most expensive place.

The Lord is just in all His ways and holy in all His works (Ps 145:17). Remember that to refuse passing pleasures is worth gaining eternal joy. A reward on earth lasts only as long as we live, but a heavenly reward lasts for eternity. Consider this as you make life choices. Organize well your knowledge, ideas, or experience as you live out the glory of God's kingdom in the world.

Declare the Glory of God!

The heavens declare the glory of God, 

and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

PSALM 19:2

Father in heaven, Your glory in Christ is upon me and I am fully experiencing the greatness of Your handiwork. Thank You so much for all the great and awesome works that You continue to do over our lives making our joy truly full and complete. 

Each day, Your word comes with so much power. Power that reveals to me and give me knowledge on what I must do in accordance with Your will and purpose. Your wisdom and knowledge is far beyond the reach of men. It is only by Your love and grace that You impart knowledge so that I will be able to know the next step that I must do. May Your wondrous deeds and works bring me to places where I have never been, giving us the opportunity and allowing us to travel the whole world. 

Indeed, You are glorious in all Your works! It has always been and will always be Your hand that works for the good of me. Each moment of my life rests upon Your mighty hands and I am very thankful that despite my weaknesses and sins, Your love still prevails over me. 

All glory and honor are Yours now and forever through Jesus Christ Your Son, who lives and reigns with You together with the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

Great is the Glory of the Lord!

All the kings of the earth shall give thanks to you, O Lord, 

when they hear the words of your mouth; and they shall sing 

of the ways of the Lord: “Great is the glory of the Lord.”

PSALM 138:4-5

As I watched: Thrones were set up and the Ancient One took his throne. His clothing was snow bright, and the hair on his head as white as wool; his throne was flames of fire, with wheels of burning fire. A surging stream of fire flowed out from where he sat; Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him, and myriads upon myriads attended him. The court was convened, and the books were opened. (Dn 7:9-10)

As the visions during the night continued, I saw One like a son of man coming, on the clouds of heaven; when He reached the Ancient One and was presented before Him, He received dominion, glory, and kingship; nations and peoples of every language serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away; His kingship shall not be destroyed. (Dn 7:13-14)

Jesus said, “You will see greater things than this. Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” (Jn 1:50-51) Here is a true child. There is no duplicity in him.” (Jn 1:47)

If one has duplicity or guile it means they are two-faced and cunning. They are skilled in the art of deception. This is a dangerous and deadly quality to have. But to say the opposite, that one has “no duplicity” or “no guile” is a way of saying that they are honest, straightforward, sincere, transparent and real.

Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel! (Jn 1:49) I will give thanks to You, O Lord, with all my heart, for You have heard the words of my mouth; in the presence of the angels I will sing Your praise; I will worship at Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name. Because of Your kindness and Your truth; for You have made great above all things Your name and your promise. When I called, you answered me; you built up strength within me. (Ps 138:1-3)

Glory in God's Holy Name!

Glory in His holy name; rejoice, O hearts that seek the Lord! 

Look to the Lord in His strength; seek to serve Him constantly. 

PSALM 105 : 3-4

Father in heaven, You are my Lord and my God. Your judgments prevail over all the earth. Be praised and glorified O Lord for there is no greater joy and fulfillment than to be with You always. 

Forgive me dear Father for I have sinned. In my hour of weakness and temptation, be my strength and shield. May your Spirit in Christ fill me with all I need in order to live a righteous life. Please give me your heart and mind that I may rule over Your possessions in accordance with Your will and purpose. 

Each day, I seek you with joy in my heart as I look upon you for strength. Only you can work for good in me. You have done and continue to do great and wondrous deeds to me. May this glorious day be full of praise and thanksgiving to You whose love never fails. 

With much love, praise, and thanksgiving I humbly pray in Jesus Name. Amen.

GLORY ABOVE THE HEAVENS

High above all nations is the Lord; 

above the heavens is His glory. 

Psalm 113:4

Then the glory of the Lord left the threshold of the temple and rested upon the cherubim. These lifted their wings, and I saw them rise from the earth, the wheels rising along with them. They stood at the entrance of the eastern gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was up above them. Then the cherubim lifted their wings, and the wheels went along with them, while up above them was the glory of the God of Israel. - Ezekiel 10:18-19, 22

DECLARE HIS GLORY!

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!

(Psalm 96:3)

GLORY BY ACCOMPLISHING THE WORK

THE PRAYER OF JESUS

"I glorified you on earth 

by accomplishing the work 

that you gave me to do." 

(John 17:4)

GOSPEL - John 17:1-11

1 Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you, 2 just as you gave him authority over all people, so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him. 3 Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. 4 I glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me to do. 5 Now glorify me, Father, with you, with the glory that I had with you before the world began. 6 “I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you gave me is from you, 8 because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours, 10 and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them. 11 And now I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, while I am coming to you.”


P S A L M -Psalm 68:10-11, 20-21
R: Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth.

9 [10] A bountiful rain you showered down, O God, upon your inheritance; you restored the land when it languished; 10 [11] Your flock settled in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided it for the needy. (R)

 

Blessed day by day be the Lord, 

who bears our burdens; 

God, who is our salvation. 

(Psalm 68:20)

20 [21] God is a saving God for us; the Lord, my Lord, controls the passageways of death. (R)
