From Grave To Glory

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consideration also abounds through Christ. - 2 Corinthians 1:5-6

The Path to Glory
This is the nature of the contemporary 'grave' experience, and it is amazing to know that God can transpose any sincere seeker from a 'grave' experience to a 'glory' experience. 'Grave' experiences cause a lot of weeping, mourning and sorrow. Just like Martha, Mary and the Jews, the grave experience weights the heart down and dampens life. But glory be to God in the highest that at last, God through Jesus Christ translated Lazarus from grave to glory. The path to glory is vital to everyone on this planet earth and I am sure, you would also like to know the path that leads from grave to glory.

Jesus came to the sepulcher or grave of Lazarus and instructed the people there to remove the stone. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." (John 11:39). The stone must be taken away before you can be ushered into the glory of God's powerful miracle. The people by the sepulcher of Lazarus moved the stone and one of the greatest miracle in the Bible followed: a four-day-old dead man rose up from the grave.

By divine appointment and direction, this also is the charge and instruction of Jesus the Saviour to you today if you want to get out of the grave and proceed to glory.

However, you must first remove the stone that is blocking your way. In our contemporary times, the stone is not the kind of physical stone put over the sepulcher of Lazarus. The 'stone' here is the hindrance across your path to glory. The 'stone' is the habit or practice that keeps you away from God's presence. It is the lifestyle that makes it possible for you to have a living relationship with Jesus. At times, the stone is your unbelief or lack of faith in the promises of God. The stone is your disposition towards Christ, His servants and His word. And God says you must take away the stone.

You need to understand that neither God nor Jesus Christ will remove that stone for you. You must do it yourself. You must remove the stone of sin and evil habits and watch God transform your life from the grave into His glory.

If the stone of immorality, adultery, fornication, gossiping, backbiting, drunkenness, lewdness, greed, jealousy and unbelief are still in your life, attaining God's glory will simply remain a dream in your life. Therefore, obey the Word of God today for your redemption.

He that has ears let him hear what the Holy Spirit speaks to the Body of Christ.

No storm can sink a ship which Christ commands.

- Daniel O.C
