Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

God never forgets what we do for him and for each other, in his name. He will remember you with unprecedented favor, for all your labor.

God wants us to have compassion, for those who are giving spiritual birth. When a person is giving birth, they go through many changes, much like a natural mother giving birth.

Look at the birthing process, from the eyes and perspective, of the husband or father. When the mother was about to give birth, the pain was unbearable. She experienced frustration, eager for the birthing process to end. She looked at her supporter, standing near her. The one who had supported her throughout the process was hoping that he could feel her pain. She squeezed his hand as hard as the pain and frustration she was feeling, desperate to hurry and give birth. He felt the squeeze of her hand and the pain of her squeeze. But he knew it was nothing compared to what she was going through. He began to feel a deeper compassion, for the one giving birth. His love for her grew so strong that he wished the frustration and pain she bore, was either his to carry to help her through it, or to pray that God would make it easier for her.

Understand, giving birth is not always easy. God is causing some to give birth and wants us to stand by each other side through the process. He wants us to have compassion, praying for them and loving them through it all. At times, you may even feel sympathy pain. But compassion, love, mercy and more love will help them through the birthing process. So when your sister, brother, pastor, apostle or friend, in Christ, is going through spiritual labor pains throughout the birthing process, encourage them. Don’t be like the one that says, “What’s wrong with you?” or “You are crazy!” Be the one that says, “I am interceding for you and I am with you.” Because your time is near, to give birth too and someone is praying for you.

Pride always insists on being right. It says, “I forgave them of the same thing more than once and I will not forgive it again. I am right and what they did is not forgivable.” Pride goes before a fall and gives a false sense of security.

God, however, is calling for us to forgive, more times than we can count. It is better to forgive and release the person to God than being full of pride and unforgiveness. You think you are right but instead are dead wrong. Because when you choose not to forgive, you will not receive forgiveness from God. We all fail, offend others and need forgiveness. Release the offenders from your judgment. Speak blessings and do not curse them. Fight to love others and do not insist on being right. As you love and forgive others with humility, blessings of forgiveness will pursue and overtake you.

Matthew 6:14
“For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”

I used to put all value on knowing a certain person, in order for certain things, to happen. Now I place all my value on knowing the Creator of persons, in order for certain things to happen.

Whatever God has told you to do, he has already provided the means for you. Everything pertaining to life and godliness. Do what you can and God will do what you can’t.

God is examining our hearts today. He is checking our motives. Do you bless someone with a gift, to become noticed or the favorite one? What are your motives? Do you help someone by paying their bills or to help them out of a serious bind, only to keep a record of what you do, to hold against them? What are your motives? Do you do a good deed only for recognition or to get attention? What are your motives? Are you in a race to tell someone about something before the other person can get to him or her, only because you want the praise? What are your motives? Do you keep asking someone for financial help because you know they are financially secure? What are your motives? Here is a scenario. A person has money in their pocket to pay a bill, get groceries or gas, but they don’t want to spend all their money. Instead they ask someone else for a loan they can’t pay back. What are your motives?

God is examining our hearts today. What we do for God will last. So don’t do it dishonestly. Don’t do it with the wrong motives. Do it unto the Lord. Don’t be secretive. God loves it when we are a blessing to others. It disappoints him, when our motives are wrong. As a matter of fact, it’s sin.

Do not and I repeat, do not allow the past to dictate your future, handicap your relationships, squander your faith, cause unnecessary hardships to people who genuinely love you, or decide whether you can make it or not. The past belongs in the past. It’s a New day, a new season, a new era for your life. Ask God for a new heart and progress in Destiny.
