LIVING IN GOD'S SPLENDOR

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

TOPIC: LIVING IN GOD'S SPLENDOR

TEXT: "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass"  (Revelation 21:21).

At the inception of Christianity on the African continent, poverty was synonymous with Christianity. Most were wrongly taught to believe that " the poorer you are the holier you get". Looking at the display of splendor by God in the scriptures, you will wonder where the doctrine of poverty emanated from.

When you look at the Old Testament tabernacle, even in the temple of Solomon you see structures that were created with such a level of extravagance that it is hard for our modern minds to even picture such splendor. Entire furnishings were made of absolutely pure gold. Most people today can’t even afford to buy a tiny ounce of gold, which is about the size of two quarters. Yet God is building furniture with solid gold! But that isn’t all. If you take a glance at Heaven, we find the streets paved with gold and the gates covered by large pricey pearls. God has some pretty elaborate things!

A lot of people believe that God doesn’t want us to have anything that is too fancy, and yes, the Bible does draw attention to how materialism gets people’s focus away from God. However, not everyone is bound to materialism, and there are some good-hearted believers and ministries who will use these resources for God. Average has held the Body of Christ back in many things. I believe to help prosper the Gospel, we need to tap into the “extravagance and splendor” side of the Lord. Let’s stop asking Him for too little and expect a measure of resources that removes the limitations we have always known.
