(The Father Is Glorified Through The Church)

TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

LET’S TALK
The Church isn’t a conglomeration of religious groups; rather, it’s the Body of Christ, and it is full of glory. This is what Paul began to explain in the first chapter of the book of Ephesians.

And then in Ephesians 3:6, he submits that, “…the Gentiles are now to be fellow heirs [with the Jews], members of the same body and joint partakers [sharing] in the same divine promise in Christ through [their acceptance of] the glad tidings (the Gospel)” (AMPC).

1 Corinthians 12:27 tells us that we’re the Body of Christ and members individually. You might ask, “But Pastor, how did we become members of the Body of Christ?” It was by being baptised into Christ at the New Birth.

Our opening verse says, “To Him (our Heavenly Father) be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

That means from generation to generation, the Father is glorified in the Church, by Jesus Christ. The desire and ministry of Jesus is to glorify the Father always, and He does this through the Church.

Remain bold and courageous for and with the Gospel, even in the face of belligerent persecution and opposition, because His glory is in and upon you.

With that glory, you triumph over sickness, diseases and poverty, and reign victoriously in life. The Church of Jesus Christ is glorious, triumphant, flourishing and full of dominion, wisdom, and power. Hallelujah!

John 17:22; Colossians 1:26-27

Speak:
I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ, and I bring the Lord glory every day. Christ in me is the glory-life. I manifest the perfect glory of God, the power, beauty, and excellence of Christ that’s inherent in my spirit. I triumph with that glory over sickness, disease, poverty and reign victoriously in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
