FIRST LOVE RECOVERY ARTICLES
GLORYLAND
Numbers
14:21 (King James
Version)
"But as
truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the
LORD."
Isaiah
11:9 (King James Version)
"They
shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall
be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."
Habakkuk
2:14 (King James
Version)
"For
the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD,
as the waters cover the sea."
In a time that
the earth seems set
for self-destruction through global warming, international
terrorism or the nuclear race,the prophetic destiny of the earth as
stated in the three verses above seems impossible. But all things are
possible with God (Mark 10:27),and to he or
she who believes (Mark 9:23).
This is the only divine solution to the deepening and darkening
emptiness in our world today.
Anyone can have a real part in the fulfillment of such a great destiny, by humbly entering into the everlasting covenant
with God which is stated below:-
Jeremiah 31:33-34 (King James Version)
"But
this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward
parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they
shall be my people."
"And
they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the
least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will
forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
Entry is only
possible through the
Lord Jesus Christ who shed his blood on Calvary to reconcile us back to
God. This was necesary because sin had alienated man from God. Everyone
is now commanded by God to repent from sin(Acts 17 :30) and believe on
Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour(Acts16 :31). By reason of this
covenant,man's relationship and fellowship with God is fully restored.
With this restoration,grace is fully available to intimately know
God,and then to faithfully express love for God in simple obedience to
him. As one grows in grace(2 Peter 3 : 18),one seeks to say and do all
things to the glory of God(1 Cor. 10 :31) just like one's Lord
and Master as stated below:-
John
7:18 (King James Version)
"He that speaketh
of
himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent
him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him."
A brief look at
the fans of any pop
idol will reveal that they always and only seek the glory of their
'icon'. This was vividly demonstrated before,during,and after the just
concluded 'the Michael Jackson case' in the United States(June 2005).
Every follower of Christ as a lover of God not only seeks God's glory
but also carries and manifests God's glory(2 Cor.3:18). God's glory
is manifested through every christian by means of the gifts of the
Spirit(1 Cor.12:6-10) and the fruit of the Spirit(Gal.5:22-23).
This revelation
belongs to
every member of the universal body of Christ in these last days.
Everyone has the choice to seize this golden opportunity today(2 Cor. 6
: 2). No matter how foolish,weak or dishonourable anyone may be,there
is no excuse! God takes the worst of mankind from the 'junkyard' and
transforms them to become a visible part of 'gloryland' as stated
below:-
1 Corinthians
1:25-31 (King
James Version)
"Because
the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is
stronger than men."
"For ye
see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble, are called:"
"But
God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things
which are mighty;"
"And
base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God
chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that
are:"
"That
no flesh should glory in his presence."
"But
of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and
righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"
"That,
according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the
Lord."
