SCRIPTURE: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The opportunity to be transformed into God’s Image and Likeness is only possible at the place of prayer.
It has been confirmed that prayer is key to destiny fulfilment. The depth of your prayer life determines the degree of your destiny fulfilment.
One thing prayer does to those who pray is that prayer gives them the opportunity to connect the Nature of God. The opportunity to be transformed into God’s Image and Likeness is only possible at the place of prayer.
You know, association brings assimilation. A person begins to look or sound like anyone he or she spends time with. And this is why, after a while, husbands and wives begin to look alike, think alike, understand alike, joke alike, all because they have spent considerable time with each other.
Sometime ago, someone said that one of my children looks like me, and the same child, they say, looks like my wife. This is because association brought assimilation, and the husband and wife now look alike in some ways.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says,
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
What a privilege to spend time with God! What a privilege to begin to look like Him!
The result is, when demons see you, they see God, and would begin to fear and run. When the Red Sea saw the children of Israel, it gave way because it saw God’s Presence in their midst (Psalm 114:1-8).
Beloved, spend time with God and you will come to the point where the world would see Him when they see you.
So, prayer is not just for the purpose of asking only; more importantly, it is for the servicing of our relationship with God so we can be more like Him.
Remember this: The opportunity to be transformed into God’s Image and Likeness is only possible at the place of prayer.
