The True Image of God: Power and Glory

The True Image of God: Power and Glory

According to Scripture, God reveals Himself through two defining characteristics:
✨ Glory and 💪 Power.

When God created man, He made him in His own image — a reflection of Himself in the world. But here's the profound mystery: God did not create man and woman in the exact same way.

Man was formed directly from the dust by the hand of God, carrying within him the strength and power of the Creator. But woman was crafted differently — she was made from man, not to compete with him, but to complete him.

God separated His image into two complementary parts:

• To man, He gave power.

• To woman, He gave glory.

Only when the two come together in harmony do they reflect the full image of God — just as He intended.

But then came the enemy, Satan — the counterfeit image of God.
He does not carry true power or glory. Instead, he operates through pride — a twisted imitation of divinity. And through pride, he has deceived mankind.

He has taught men to chase money and status, convincing them that without wealth, they are nothing — blinding them to the strength God already placed within them.
He has taught women to chase physical beauty, making them believe that without outward perfection, they are not enough — distracting them from the glory God wove into their very being.

And now, we live in a world filled with:

• Men who feel worthless because their pockets are empty, not realizing they were born with power.

• Women who feel inadequate because their bodies don't meet society's standards, unaware they already carry divine glory.

But the truth is this:
You were made in the image of God.
You do not need to chase what the world calls success or beauty — those are shadows. You carry something deeper, something eternal.

To the man: Your value is not in your bank account — it's in your strength, your purpose, and your God-given ability to lead, protect, and build.
To the woman: Your worth is not in the mirror — it's in your grace, your influence, and the radiant glory God placed within you.

Let us reject the false image the world offers. Let us return to the original design — where power and glory work in unity, not in competition. Because only in embracing who we truly are can we reflect the fullness of the One who made us.
