As a child of God, you’re a member of God’s family, and its expedient for you to find your place in God’s house and contribute meaningfully. Now, in your bid to function in the house of God, you may have to join certain activity groups, cells or teams where you work alongside other believers. If you’re in such teams, learn to be a team player. Always communicate with the rest of the team in such a way that lets them know you’re in agreement with them.  If for any reason you’re not in agreement, express it in love so there will be no contention. Don’t assume they should know; always speak up and never let disunity persist.

Yesterday we began to share with you inspiring thoughts from the book of Ephesians as the Holy Spirit instructed us this month to meditate upon. In the scripture above the Spirit of God admonishes us to be humble and gentle. This is because the attitude of humility opens us up to His greater glory! Sometimes people don’t know that their reasoning is affected and corrupted because of a wrong attitude. If you have the right attitude of humility, God will teach you wisdom, but for the one who is proud and haughty, He’ll resist you. The Bible says God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. As you demonstrate humility this month, you’ll receive wonderful, beautiful, and creative thoughts from God, and your life will go from one level of glory to another.

The Holy Spirit instructed us to meditate on Ephesians chapters 4 and 5 in order to manifest increased glory this month and we’ll begin to share with you inspiring thoughts from those scripture portions. One of the thoughts given to us here by the Spirit is about our communication. In very instructive and categorical terms, the Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul admonishes us not to engage in unwholesome or corrupt communication. Corrupt communication is any utterance, word, speech or question that doesn’t edify or minister grace to the hearer. As a believer the words that proceed out of your lips should be words that’ll minister healing to a broken heart, courage to the one who is discouraged, and comfort to the one who is in despair. This month, be graceful in your communication.

When the Bible says “The glory of the Lord is risen upon you,” it refers to the glory within! It’s a spiritual terminology that shows that God has bestowed His grace upon your life. It’s the outward manifestation of an indwelling divine influence.
