Focus: Take the Garment but not the Glory II

WORD FOR TODAY
Self-denial is an important attribute of God in the lives of men that is critical to the manifestation of God's Glory. No man can ever become something tangible under God without self-denial!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
" How then can I do this great evil and sin against God? . . . And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out [of the house]. (Genesis 39:9b,12 AMP)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Self-denial is an important attribute a man must possess to preserve his mandate in the land of the living. All men who became something under God were men who denied themselves. Joseph denied himself and fulfilled his purpose. He looked beyond the present and beheld the glory of God to be manifested in His life.

There is a glory that cannot be seen in the present but concealed and prepared for the future. Don't be eaten up by wonderful things people of this life present to you. Be ready to lose everything if that's what it takes to preserve your mandate.

Things to come will always be greater than the one that exists because things that exist will surely pass away to give room to things to come. Don't establish your marital, career, ministerial and academic destiny for appearance, prestige or men's applause but for the fulfillment of your mandate. Be ready to give up whatever appearance, comfort, prestige offered to you at the expense of the fulfillment of your Glory.
