The subject of GLORY is a very deep, important and critical one. It affects MOST people as MANY have lost their glory and struggle endlessly in life even to their dying days. Most people have lost their glory and live throughout their lives with its dire consequences.

Saying, Where is he that is BORN KING of the JEWS? for we have seen his STAR in the east, and are come to worship him.
— Matthew 2:2

When Jesus was born as the greatest king ever of a never ending kingdom, the awesome glory that came with His destiny shone ever so brightly as a star.

Like Jesus, everybody that is born into this world was born with a glorious destiny symbolised by a shinning star.

The Word 'Glory' connotes ever-radiant light. It connotes greatness, honour, fame, excellence, magnificence, eminence, wealth, riches, power, international recognition, etc.

What makes our destinies glorious, is the glory of God upon our lives. A person's glory is symbolised by stars. The brighter your glory or star, the more glorious your destiny is.

If your glory or star is stolen, manipulated or caged by the powers of darkness, it will be very difficult to fulfill your destiny.

It's your glory that gives life/function to your destiny. If anything evil happens to your glory, your destiny will be grossly affected.

As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
— Hosea 9:11

Many people's glory were taken from them in their mother's womb, even before they were given birth. Many lost their glory on the day of their birth or some days following their birth.

This is why a lot of people don't know exactly what their destiny is.

Randomly ask about fifty people:

"What is your destiny?"

You will get all kinds of answers that shows that many are confused about their destinies.

And this is not surprising, because if a person loses his or her glory, he or she also loses their sense of destiny.

I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
— Ecclesiastes 10:7

When a royalty like a prince loses his glory, he becomes like an ordinary slave even though he was born into exceeding great honour.

He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
— Job 19:9

When a king loses his glory, he loses his crown. A king's crown is a symbol of his authority over his kingdom; this is why when a king is deposed from his glorious throne, his crown becomes worthless.

Many people have lost their glory and their crowns. It's heartbreaking to see people born to be internationally great pastors, evangelists, doctors, business people, gospel artists, etc. become much lesser than which God originally created them to be.

Such people originally destined for renowned greatness become ordinary cleaners, security men, shoe shiners, domestic helps, messengers, etc.

We see this case with the very first man to walk the face of the earth: ADAM.

Adam was created with a very glorious destiny by God. He was created to dominate the earth powerfully as God's own representative:

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
— Genesis 1:26

God crowned Adam with glory to effectively dominate the earth:

Psalms 8
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁵ For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
⁶ Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

However after Adam sinned and subsequently lost his glory to the devil, he also lost his destiny as god of this earth and became subject to demonic oppression, suffering, sicknesses, failure, poverty and death:


Genesis 3
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁷ And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

¹⁸ Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Nobody is born to be poor. The major problem is that many have lost the glory that accompanied their destinies when they came into this world.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
— Romans 3:23

When Adam sinned by eating the forbidden fruit, he and all humanity, fell short of God's glory for their lives. If it weren't for Adam's disobedience, the glory of ALL born humans would have been so great, as bright as the sun.

Sin subjects us and our glory to the power of the devil. It was Adam's sin that subjected his great glory and destiny to the devil:

Luke 4
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁵ And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the KINGDOMS of the WORLD in a moment of time.

⁶ And the devil said unto him, All this POWER will I give thee, and the GLORY of them: for that is DELIVERED unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

Adam's glorious destiny was delivered unto the devil who became the god of this world. Not only that, because of the sinful Adamic nature humanity inherited, MOST people's glory are delivered unto the devil as seen in the above scripture.

Sin subjects man's glory to the devil. Therefore as long as we carry and yield to our sinful natures, our glory will always be accessible to the devil.

There are different ways and methods the devil daily robs people of their glory through star hunters via: witchcraft, household enemies, family strongmen, native doctors, occultists, unfriendly friends, etc.

For example, there is a popular self professed witch on social media who robs people's glory and yet many gullible people troop to her page because of her generosity.

But the most effective way the devil robs glory is through sexual immorality. Any sexual activity outside marriage be it fornication, adultery, masturbation, etc. will easily deliver your glory to the devil on a platter of gold.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
— 1 Corinthians 6:18

When anyone engages in sexual immorality, they sin against their own bodies. We are created in God's image, to reflect His glory on our bodies. So when we engage in sexual sins with our bodies, God's glory is removed from our bodies/lives in a most intense way.

This is why some people after engaging in sexual immorality for a season, look more differently than before.

Sexual sin is the most common way people unconsciously lose their glory and destiny to the devil today. This is why pornography, masturbation, illicit sexual partners: boyfriends/girlfriends/friends with benefits/mistresses/prostitutes/escorts, etc. are so common today. Sexual immorality is the major way the devil drains glory of people's destinies.

The explosion of pornography all over the internet as we have today is a big sign that the devil controls the glory of billions of people. No wonder many keep complaining of poverty.

Only few young people and adults, even in the church, are completely free from the scourge of pornography and masturbation.

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread...
— Proverbs 6:26

Many men have lost their glory in pursuit of five minutes illicit sexual 'enjoyment'.

But thank God for the Lord Jesus-He came to this world as the second Adam to destroy the works of the devil and restore what the devil had stolen:

... For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
— 1 John 3:8

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
— John 10:10

The power of the devil over the earth and humanity was delivered to the the Lord Jesus:

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
— Matthew 28:18

By the power of God through the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus, we can recover every stolen glory from the devil today.

2 steps to recover your glory/destiny:

The more glory of God in your life, the more easier it is to fully fulfill your destiny; the more easier it is to progress in life.

Most people don't have a sense of destiny and are stagnant in life because their glory has been tampered with by the devil.

1. Spend increasingly more and more time in God's Word, especially the New Testament. (The New Testament carries more glory-2 Corinthians 3:7-10) God manifests and imparts His glory mainly by His WORD. (Genesis 1 :3)

2. Pray glory restoration prayers with FAITH like the ones below:

a. Father, restore every glory stolen from me in Jesus name.

b. Father, restore every glory brought with me when I was born in Jesus name.

c. Father, resurrect my buried glory in Jesus name.

d. Father, send your battle ready angels to recover my glory from the ends of the earth in Jesus name.

e. Father, set my glory free from from every captivity in Jesus name.
