The Altar And The Glory

Thursday, July 26, 2018

Do you want to see the miracles, the presence, the fullness, and the glory of God in your life? Three thousand years ago, the Temple of God was dedicated by King Solomon. The priests offered up thousands of sacrifices, and the glory of God descended on the temple so thick and so heavy that the priests couldn’t stand to minister. First, they offered their offerings and then the glory fell. Sacrifice and glory go together. It happened in the Hebrew Scriptures and in the New Testament as well. The death of Messiah was the ultimate sacrifice. What came after? The resurrection, the glory of God - First the sacrifice, then the glory. So, if you want the glory of God to overflow in your life, you must first have the sacrifice. If you want God’s glory in your life, lay your life on the altar and give it to Him. Live your life for the Lord and your life will be a glorious one. Follow Him with all your heart and the glory of God will come down. For where there is sacrifice, the glory is sure to follow.
