Daily Devotional 110

EXPOSITION ON 2 SAMUEL 6 by Claus
Subtitled WHEN MEN TOOK HIS GLORY TO THEMSELVES  110

Two things you can't afford to miss if you want to bring God's glory in your life.

In the chapter three we are told David did two specific things before he was able to bring the ark of God outside, I shall discuss one now and discuss the other in the next piece.
The first one is that David set the Ark or Glory on a NEW CART.
You remember Jesus statements right? You can't put a new wine into an old wine skin because it will break. Many people are refusing to adhere to this principle.

The Glory of God coming out, manifesting in your life requires a new cart to carry it outside. If you don't have the capacity or stamina you will fail to bring it out!

It's like this, if a guy likes to chase women and becomes a pastor he must desist from this character, he must be a new cart or a new wine skin. Why? Trying to carry the glory with this terrible behavioral malady will make his mission fail. We hear of this everyday, some spiritual bigwig gets caught with a 'lady' who is not his wife and his 20 years of ministry labour comes tumbling to the ground. At the onset he was doing it and was getting away with it till this old wine skin broke and sabotaged his efforts!

Beloved, if we want to see change we must change first; new friends, new location, new courses, new dresses, new everything, etc.
IF THE THING IN YOUR LIFE DOESN'T SUPPORT WHAT YOU ARE PURSUING, CHANGE IT BEFORE IT SABOTAGES YOU AT THE LAST MOMENT!

Today you have to reinvent yourself to fit your purpose, you can't use your present state to achieve that vision. You have change your job for some serious well paying job if you want to pursue that cause. And oh please get rid of that terrible friend, he or she is the reason you are where you are!

The glory of God to me, is the realization of that dream, the success of that marriage, the award you will win, that new promotion at your work place, another level in your ministry.
If you want it that bad then your present state should be configured to make it a reality in your life. It is a small price to pay for what you will enjoy afterwards. It's not too late to try again.

Your level has changed!
