[The Glory Unveiled]
“We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that this immeasurable power will be seen as God’s, not ours.” [ 2 Corinthians 4:7 TPT ]
Many times, we judge things from an outward perspective, an unreliable angle. But the things that make the difference are not always visible from the exterior view. One of such mysteries to the angelic realm and the rulers and authorities in the world beyond our world is humanity. Angels are fascinated with God’s mercy shown us. They long to peer into the mystery of God’s grace. The angelic realm has always been mystified by God’s special creation—us (see Ephesians 3:10; 1 Peter 1:12). But unfortunately, many of us do not know who we really are; a precious jewel that does not know its value and worth. As a result, some of us, like the prodigal son have sold ourselves out to the basal things of this world. Stories are told of how, the people in the then Gold Coast exchanged gold for mirrors, sugar, cigarettes, and other items that did not measure up to the worth of the gold they gave. At the time, they didn’t know the worth of the mineral [gold] they had. Today, the case is not the same. Nobody, even outside their right minds will exchange gold for cigarettes or sugar, irrespective of the size of the gold. Now, they know the worth of the gold and will trade it for what it’s worth. As believers, our true worth is not on the outside. It is hidden within us—a glorious treasure. This treasure is also the foundation of our confidence. We are as bold as a lion because we know what we carry on the inside. We know the immeasurable power of who we have in us. Hence, the results of our lives have no attributions to ourselves. Everything we are, is because of the glorious treasure in us. What we are made of on the outside (clay) does not define who we are. So, don’t look on the outside, look to the inside and release God’s glorious power!
