TOPIC: IT IS IN YOU!
Tead: 1 Peter 2:9-11
MEMORISE:
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 (1 Peter 2:9).
EXPOSITION
Our mentality, if not changed, positively, will give
us, negatively. People crave for glory here and
there. On the hilltops, prayer centres and camps,
you see people slogging it out with their perceived
“enemies”, all in the name of getting back their
“glories”. Worst still, their myopic ministers
narrow down the so-called glories to earthly
empires! What is glory? It is fulfilling the purpose
for which God has originally created you.
The above defined glory does not necessarily
indicate the material wealth, fleet of cars, gigantic
mansions and fat bank accounts as it is being
implicitly and explicitly echoed in our prayer and
revival meetings. Of course, God’s glory is with all
and even more than the above, but it is wrong to
limit or narrow it only to those ephemeral things
of this life.
It is great wonder why people think they don’t
have glory when Christ is in them (Col. 1:27)!
Because you are yet to build your own house, buy
a car (which no one has ever done in your
family?) is not an indication of not being glorious
in as much you are a true child of God. Have you
not read in the scripture that, ‘Man that is in
honour but does not know is like a perishing
beast?’
Peter recognises that all children of God are
special, unique and peculiar people, holy nation
and royal priesthood of the Lord (1 Pet. 2:9). You
are uncommon and special, since you are a child
of God. What is now left is for you to show forth
the praise of God who has called you from
darkness and translated you into the everlasting
light of His dear Son Jesus Christ, Who in you, is
the hope of Glory. This is a true and all-
encompassing glorious life. It is in you!
PRAYER POINTS
1. Oh Lord, help me to see the issue of glory that
is being talked about everywhere today, in Your
own perspective.
2. Lord Jesus, I receive the auction to fulfil all
Your purpose for my creation.
3. Pray for students who are finding it difficult to
make it academically because of low self-esteem,
inferiority complex and pessimism, that God
should grant them the confidence they need to
succeed.
