GETTING THE GLORY OF GOD TO BE IN YOU
This is a follow up to my previous write-up, “The Hidden Treasure”, in which we saw that
the hidden treasure is to become like God, by rising up to the seventh level of divinity. In
“The Hidden Treasure” we saw that redemption by the blood of Jesus Christ is the basis
upon which any human being could grow in divinity. “The Hidden Treasure” ends by
stating that a person must sell everything in order to be able to buy divinity (Mt. 13:44).
Now we want to go into what it means to sell your world in order to inherit the kingdom
of God.
Ex. 29:42 “For the generations to come this burnt offering is to be made regularly at the
entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD. There I will meet you and speak to you;
Ex. 29:43 there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory.
Ex. 29:44 “So I will consecrate the Tent of Meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and
his sons to serve me as priests.
Ex. 29:45 Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God.
Le. 9:6 Then Moses said, “This is what the LORD has commanded you to do, so that the glory of
the LORD may appear to you.”
Le. 9:7 Moses said to Aaron, “Come to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt
offering and make atonement for yourself and the people; sacrifice the offering that is for the
people and make atonement for them, as the LORD has commanded.”
Jn. 8:29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases
him.”
God dwelling with a person, or that the glory of God appears in a person, means that the
person has acquired some level of divinity. In order for a person to rise up to this level,
Ex. 29:42 says that burnt offering must be made regularly by the person. Le. 9:6-7 says
similarly. Jn. 8:29 puts the condition this way; the person must always do what pleases
God. What is it that pleases God?
Ge. 8:20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and
clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
Ge. 8:21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart:
God is always very pleased with burnt offerings. Note that burnt offerings are made on a
suitable altar built for God, usually in front of the temple of God. Today, the only temples
that are acceptable to God are human beings. Hence, today’s burnt offerings are not
animal sacrifices of the ancient times.
Ep. 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
Ep. 5:2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant
offering and sacrifice to God.

Ph. 4:18 I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have
received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable
sacrifice, pleasing to God.
1Pe. 2:4 As you come to him, the living Stone — rejected by men but chosen by God and
precious to him —
1Pe. 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood,
offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Living a life of love is a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. However, note that sacrifice
is acceptable to God if it is done at the temple of God. Hence, sacrifice that counts is the
one done towards the people of God, or with a view to drawing people near to God. It is
unfortunate that today’s churches now emphasize paying tithes and sowing seeds to
churches and not sacrificing to people of God, who are the real temples of God.
Mt. 25:34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, `Come, you who are blessed by my
Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
Mt. 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me
something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
Mt. 25:36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in
prison and you came to visit me.’
Mt. 25:37 “Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you something to drink?
Mt. 25:38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
Mt. 25:39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
Mt. 25:40 “The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these
brothers of mine, you did for me.’
Ac. 10:1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the
Italian Regiment.
Ac. 10:2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need
and prayed to God regularly.
Ac. 10:3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of
God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”
Ac. 10:4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your
prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.
Ac. 10:5 Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter.
Ac. 10:6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”
Ac. 10:27 Talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people.
Ac. 10:28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate
with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or
unclean.

Ac. 10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the
message.
Ac. 10:45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of
the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.
Ac. 10:46 For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God. Then Peter said,
Ac. 10:47 “Can anyone keep these people from being baptised with water? They have received
the Holy Spirit just as we have.”
Ac. 10:48 So he ordered that they be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter
to stay with them for a few days.
