Key Text : Haggai 2:9,20-23, John 12:23-24
There are three realms in God’s presence:
1) The realm of giftings: A realm where you have trained yourself, you have developed your skills and abilities to perform anytime you are called upon.
2) The realm of anointing: In this Realm, even though you have already developed your Gifts and abilities, the hand of God still rests upon you and goes ahead of you to perform signs and Wonders, as you Minister through your Gift.
3) The realm of Glory: This is a Realm where God fills a man or a woman with His Glory. You don’t need skills or abilities in this Realm. Your presence makes things happen. In the realm of glory, God fills a man with his glory (John 12:23).
HOW TO OBTAIN GOD’S GLORY
For you to obtain God’s glory, some things need to die (spiritually) and they are;
1. Your Mindset: For God’s glory to come, old mindset and habits need to die.
2. Your Flesh: To experience God’s glory, your flesh must go because the flesh is the number one enemy of believers. It is constantly at war with the spirit.
3. The world: Cultures, systems and desires of the world needs to die. You need to let go of ungodly status, ambitions, friends, etc. What the world can give you is just a facade.
In conclusion, God’s glory enables a man, despite his giftings, to stand out and be distinguished. You need to let go of certain things in order to access God’s glory for unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is not more than just a grain of wheat.
