Topic: The glory
Text: I Corinthians 15:49-58

Once in a while we must spend time to meditate on our spiritual fortunes. No mortal pen can describe the glory that lies ahead of us. In fact, the Bible says: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of men the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.” (I Corinthians 2:9) John the beloved Apostle was given a wonderful revelation. He saw the second coming of Jesus Christ and even saw beyond that. He saw us riding on white horses, following our King. Our Captain went to God the Father and was given dominion, glory, kingdom and power, and it was decreed that all nations and tongues should serve and obey Him. We will be there as His lieutenants. There will be governors among us and a few of us will be there as senators to stay with Him in Jerusalem, to supervise the nations. The kingdom that is coming is a spiritual Kingdom. So it is only people with spiritual interests and motives that can inherit it, not those ruled by the flesh. “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, neither doth corruption inherits incorruption.” (I Corinthians 15:50). Our present body cannot be partakers in the kingdom that is coming. This is because the glory will be too much for our body. This is why the Bible says those of us who remain alive till the second coming of Jesus Christ must be changed. We must be transformed by a supernatural method that will drain every blood in our bodies. God must transform the flesh before we can stand the glory that is coming. Wonderful glory indeed! This is why those who are really seeking this Kingdom do not bother so much about the flesh because they know that the flesh will pass away. If you still find your flesh waging war against you, and you are yielding to it in anger and the things of the flesh, you are not qualified for the kingdom. And if you are not qualified, you will miss the glory ahead.
