God has Restored His Glory To You

“The glory which You have given to Me, I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are”
John 17:22
In beginning when God created mankind, the bible mentioned that He crowed Adam with glory and honor (Psalm 8:5). The word crown in Hebrews is “aw-tar” which also can mean “encircle”. Imagine this, when Adam walked in the garden of Eden He was shinning forth so brightly with the glory of God. They were clothed with the glory of God.
When Adam and Eve fell into temptation, the glory left for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). That is when they noticed they were naked, because the glory of God was no longer clothing them.
On one precious day, Jesus, beloved Son of God, came to earth died on the cross for our sins, and He has restored the glory which was forfeited by Adam and Eve. The glory that left Adam and Eve has been restored by the last Adam, Jesus. He said “The glory which you have given to me, I have given to them…” (John 17:22).
The glory of God in Greek is “Doxa”, means “having a good opinion concerning one that result in praise, honor and glory. In restoring us His glory, God want us to have a sense that we are praiseworthy, honorable and glorious, because of His constant good opinion of us.
Beloved, because God’s glory is on you there is a weightiness about you. People don’t know why, but their spirits will be lifted when they are in your presence. There is something about you that impact them even if they have only been with you for a short while. When you talk they listen, because there is substance in what you talk.
And because God’s glory is on you, you can expect it to touch every aspect of your life, your finances, your relationship, work and health. Your body is glowing with divine health. You are called to be the carrier of His glory!
