Did you miss the powerful teaching Rest On Me (Exploring the Riches of His Glory) by Apostle Joshua Selman? Here are some profound insights to reflect on.
One of the transformative outcomes of worship is the activation of creative imagination. From that place, believers begin to step into prophetic dimensions, where divine ideas and spiritual insight are birthed. Worship is not just an expression of devotion—it is a gateway into realms of revelation and possibility.
It is not God’s intention for only a few individuals to carry His glory in any field of endeavor. However, the limitation often lies in the number of people willing to pay the price required to host His presence, His fire, and His glory. Unfortunately, those who rise to this level must guard their hearts, because the temptation of pride can easily creep in when one begins to carry spiritual weight.
For ministers and believers alike, the call is to remain grounded in God—deeply knowing Him, understanding Scripture, and carrying both His presence and power. This ensures that whenever an opportunity arises, the fullness of God’s counsel is revealed, not just fragments.
God operates by patterns, and His glory follows divine order. The manifestation of His glory is not random; it is a response to obedience. As written in Leviticus 9:6, when the instructions of the Lord are followed, His glory appears. This establishes a fundamental truth: there is always a responsibility on the part of the believer before the glory is revealed.
The glory of God responds to obedience, and there are dimensions of that glory that cannot be accessed by those who live only for comfort and convenience. Certain levels of God’s presence demand sacrifice of time, energy, resources, loyalty, and even personal desires. To carry the weight of His glory, one must receive the grace to become a living sacrifice.
In a generation that prioritizes ease and convenience, the call is to rise above superficial devotion and embrace a life of sacrifice. It is not enough to admire or desire another person’s anointing; one must also understand the depth of sacrifice behind it. Many who appear greatly favored by God have paid a price—often unseen—through consistent surrender and obedience.
As believers grow in their walk with God, the level of sacrifice required also increases. There is a direct relationship between sacrifice and glory. The deeper the surrender, the greater the manifestation of God’s presence. This is the pathway to true spiritual growth and maturity.
When the glory of God rests upon a life, it brings with it divine resources—what Scripture refers to as the riches of His glory. These resources create supernatural advantage, empowering believers to walk in dominion and fulfill their kingdom assignment. However, the priority must always be the glory itself, not just the benefits that come with it.
Our function as king-priests truly begins when we receive and host God’s glory. Yet, even when answers to prayers and needs begin to manifest, they must never become distractions. The ultimate pursuit is not the blessings, but the continuous experience of God’s presence.
The call is to keep pressing, to desire that His glory rests upon our lives continually. Beyond the gifts, beyond the breakthroughs, and beyond the visible results, the greatest pursuit remains the glory of God.
