“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 3:18)
What you see when you look into a mirror is your own image reflected back at you. You won’t see your neighbour’s image but your image. Why this emphasis on image? The Bible declares that the Spirit of God in you can perform a function of unveiling the glory of the Lord to you such that whenever you encounter the word of God, you will see yourself as the glory of God.
Glory means outward evidence of wealth, status, accomplishment or personality. For example, the Bible says in the context of a marriage, “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man is not from woman, but woman from man…For as woman camefrom man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God” (1 Corinthians 11:7-8,12). Essentially, this means that it is the duty of the glory owner to protect, preserve and showcase his glory.
Now, if you are the glory of God, it is God’s responsibility to protect, preserve and showcase you to the world and the Bible says He accomplishes these three functions through the operation of the Holy Spirit when you expose yourself to His word. You see you in the Word of God and the Bible says that when the Holy Spirit shows you your image in the Word, be what you see. James 1:25 says, “But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.” This means that when the Lord shows you that you have joy or patience in you, don’t talk or act in a contrary manner. Be what you see by affirming the image that you have seen by the Word of God. Hallelujah!
For example, Philippians 4:5 says, “Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.” The image of gentleness ought to automatically register in your heart that you are gentle. You ought to confess it over and over until this image is imprinted in your subconscious. If you are tempted to act in a crass manner, unbecoming of the glory of God, your confessions, if you have sufficiently imprinted this new image of gentleness, will keep you from acting contrary to the image you beheld.
If you are the glory of God, it means that there can be no weakness, defeat, lack or failure to your life because there is no weakness, defeat, lack or failure to God. Recognize that you are the outward, breathing evidence of God’s personality and this is why you cannot accept certain standards this year. You are a displayer of the glory of the Lord. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
This is why you must keep looking at the glory of the Lord constantly through Bible study and listening to teachings of the Word of God. The other thing you must maintain is your confession of the Word of God to imprint the image you have beheld.
Have a great day!

PRAYER DIRECTION
2 Chronicles 20:21-22
“And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.
And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.”
Today is a day of praise
1. Praise God that every weapon that was formed against you came to nothing.
2. Praise God that every attempt of the enemy to defraud your family of joy, testimony, victory and promotion came to nothing.
3. Praise God specifically that He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands were not able to perform their enterprise.
