Restoration of Glory in Personality (Character).

Holiness is one way of revealing the glory of God. You cannot achieve holiness all by yourself; for your righteousness is like a filthy rag before God. But  you have been made holy, blameless and unreproveable before God. For you to manifest the glory of God in character, you must know His personality.
Isaiah 6:3; Holy, holy, holy is the lord of host. You can clearly see that God is holy in is nature; therefore to manifest glory in personality, you have to have to live a perpetual holy life.
    You must live in the consciousness; that when you live a holy life, you are showing forth God's glory. Even as you have been justified, also make conscious effort to avoid sin. How shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Romans 6:1. Your future is too glorious for you to be playing with sin. If  you want to experience glory, then you must avoid sin, especially the sin immorality. You must crucify the flesh with all its affections, Galatians 5:24.
    By the new covenant which Jesus established by his blood, you have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all, Hebrews 10:10. Your past sins are forgiven and are no longer remembered. As soon as you invite Jesus into your heart, you become a new creation, and a new life was established in you. You must no longer see yourself as a miserable wretched sinner. You are sanctified and justified by the blood of Jesus.
    You are now a candidate of heaven and of eternal life, not by strength or personal effort, but by the free grace of God. You have been made holy by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. The day you receive him into your life as lord and saviour, all your sins were forgiven and washed away. All the wrongs you ever committed are now hidden by the blood. You are made holy, unblameable and unreproveable in the sight of God. You can now boldly come into the throne room of the Most High God anytime with feeling of guilt, because you are holy in His sight.
    Your practice of holy living is made possible when your love is the consciousness of God's presence. The moment your mind lose consciousness of God, then you are capable of doing any evil thing. God is light; and in light nothing is hidden. Let your mind always recall that the Lord is watching you and as such, place a check on your attitude.

Restoration of Glory In Power.

One of the ways to manifest glory is in performing miracles; John 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed on Him. It is God's desire that you also manifest His glory by taking dominon in all aspect of your life and operating in power, it means the glory you carry is not shinning yet. In John 17:22, we see that His glory has been bestowed upon us. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them when God called you, he packaged power inside you. What you need to function is inside you, you are not an empty vessel. The more thanks you give to God for what Jesus did, the more the glory is revealed in your life.
 The purpose of manifesting God's glory is to win souls,Act 1:8. When you begin to shine brightly by manifesting God's glory in power characterized by signs and wonders, all men will be attracted to the brightness of your light. From the very beginning, man was made for dominion. God gave the first Adam dominion over all of His creation, but he lost it, when he sinned.

Jesus through His sacrifice on the cross has restored man to the original glory. God wants you to celebratively come to Him with the whole of your heart; only then will His glory be manifested fully in your life.
 Thanksgiving has never failed to bring down God's glory. As you begin to appreciate and worship God, His glory will fill your life completely. Thanksgiving is a product of belief: by thanking God, you prove to Him that you believe that He has put his glory upon you. It is your continuous thanksgiving to God for what He has done that makes glory manifest, not fasting and praying for it. When you begin to celebrate the goodness of God, you are preparing and packaing the heavens for another delivery. Do you wish to operate in power; I have good news for you: God has placed His power in you already. As you begin to apprieciate Him for His power that is at work in you. I assure you that you will begin to exhibit His glory in power. The creatures are awaiting your manifestation of power, authority and domonion, and God has loaded you with so much inside that you cannot fail.

Restoration of Glory In Prosperity.

2Corithians 8:9: For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake's he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. God is not a pauper, He is the owner of the heavens and earths and all the wealth therein, Haggai 2:8. He wants to use prosperity to

prove His Lord.
  Your Prosperity began when the owner of silver and gold died in poverty and penury as a sacrifice for your prosperity. Your bursting forth in prosperity is thus, dependent on how well you understand this truth and appreciate God for it. God responds to prayers if it tallies with his season. When you ask for rain in the time rain, you will certainly receive abundance of rain, Zechariah 10:1.
You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss (James 4:3) know what is in the calendar and agenda of God now. Put God in remembrance of all His promise and as you begin to appreciate Him for your wealth and prosperity which has been settled by Christ when He took your poverty and shame upon

 Himself, your life will begin to blossom on all sides.
  Our prosperity is not for competition, or to outshine others, the purpose is for the increase of the kingdom. Only those that the purpose of prosperity will be blessed. If you want wealth, let God know why you want it. Make sure it is not for selfish reasons .Your crying to God for blessing everyday will not bring wealth. God is not moved by your tears, He is only moved tears that are connected with His purpose.
  If you are yet to see the manifestation of prosperity in your life, do not accept the situation; believe God for your expectation. When God restores you, struggle, stagnancy and retrogression are banished from your life. You will do in one year what you have been struggling to do for ten year. Restoration, however, can only be accessed by appreciation. Appreciation begins with acknowledging what he has done. When you appreciate for him for Him for the past level, He will cause the new level to appear; what you don't appreciate will not be appreciated in your life.
 Murmuring will delay your miracle, while grumbling holds back God's hand. If you appreciate God for what is left, He will restore what was lost. Switch over from prayer to praise today and see your prosperity burst forth on all sides.

Restoration of Glory By Appreciation.

Glory is from the Greek word 'DOXA' which means all that God is and all that God has Glory is the presence of God making provision for power, prosperity and personality (character). It is the missing link: the problem of mankind is the absence of glory. Until the sons of God manifest glory, Christ will

be retained in heaven. God is a candidate of Glory and expects all His children to manifest His glory in Prosperity, Power and Personality (Character). We are in a season of restoration; this restoration will only come to fulfilment through appreciation. The glory has been given; it is done already, but it will fully manifest if you appreciate God for what has been done. You are predestined, born and ordained unto glory.

  Romans 8:28-29:  For whom he did foreknow, he also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinates, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified them He also glorified.

                  Glory was what was lost when man (Adam) fell out in the beginning; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". The reason you where created was to manifest glory, Romans 9:23-24. You were called unto glory, 1peter 5:10, but his glory will only be fully manifested in your life, If you begin to appreciate God for it. God is interested in restoring the glory that was lost when man sinned, but He seeks men who know the value of His glory and are willing to receive it with a thankful heart.

             Anything you have lost can be restored to you by God, for He is a God of restoration. Abraham's lost ability to have a child was restored to him when he gave glory to God, Romans 4:17-21; He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

In Daniel4:34-36, we see that when Nebuchandnezzar thanked God, he was restored to his kingdom. As you begin to appreciate God for His glory in your life, the full manifestation of His glory will be visible in your life.

 The lost glory is restored! And guess what, it is restored in double fold. God does not restore what was lost exactly how it was, He improves on it. It is His nature to restore in double portion, Isaiah 61:7, Haggai 2:9.

Foundation Four: Joy

Joy is a feeling of great happiness or pleasure, especially of an elevated or spiritual kind. It is the ability to live and act positively even in the face of contradiction. It is the effrontery to say there is a lifting up when others say there is a casting down. Joy is part of the fruit of the spirit. Proverbs 17:22 "sorrow dries the bone, but joy does good like medicine".
          It therefore implies that for you to live in health you must always be joyful. Your joy should not be a factor of your present circumstances but should be hinged on the knowledge that God loves you and his thoughts for you continually are thoughts of peace, Jeremiah 29:11. Inspite of ugly situations that would

ordinary steal joy from your heart, you should remain joyful knowing that all things work together for good to them that love God, Rom8:28.
      Rejoicing in the lord has health benefits. It has been medically proven that joy improve the immune system where as sorrow destroys it. You must make up your mind to live perpetually in joy, whether things are pleasant or not. To overcome the sorrow and discomfort of the present times, take a trip into the

joy of your future.
      That you are alive is enough indication that God has better plans for you submitting to sorrow may hinder those beautiful plans from coming to fulfilment whereas living perpetually in joy even in the midst of an ugly beginning will speed up God's intervention. Living in joy is a kingdom foundation. Isaiah 12:3 the provision of salvation can only be accessed by joy.
       Joy is proof to God that you trust how to help you. It is the outward garment of the faith you profess without joy, the blessings you seek will be left hanging. God will always come to the rescue of those who celebrate in joy even when they are yet to see the manifestation of their heart desires. If you allow your celebration wither away then you expectation will also wither away.
       The devil can operate in your life if you allow sorrow dwell in your heart. Only those who have made up their mind to be joyful at every point in time will continually have a reason to celebrate, Proverbs 15:15. When you keep a joyful disposition in the midst of an ugly situation, God will show up for you to change whatever it is that is trying to take away your joy.
