[The Glory Unveiled]

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? [ Romans 10:14 KJV ]

The journey of faith in Christ and the experience of intimate fellowship with Him often begins with a human vessel willing to speak about Him. Our salvation came through hearing the message of Christ and believing it. As Scripture asks, “How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” The encouraging truth is that a preacher is not limited to a pulpit ministry. Anyone who has genuinely encountered Jesus becomes a witness of His grace. When the Samaritan woman met Jesus at the well, she immediately went into the city and spoke about Him. The man delivered from the legion of demons in Gadara went throughout his region declaring what the Lord had done for him. The man born blind, after receiving his sight, could not stop talking about the One who had changed his life. This is why every believer is called to proclaim Christ—not merely because it is a command, but because it is the natural response of a life that has encountered Him. We speak because we have seen His faithfulness, experienced His mercy, and tasted His transforming power. As we share our testimony and declare the truth of the gospel, others are given the opportunity to hear. Through hearing, faith is awakened. Through faith, they are brought into the family of God just as we have been. But when we remain silent, we withhold from others the opportunity to hear the message that brought us life. Therefore, seize every opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. Share what He has done in your life. Speak of His grace, His power, and His saving work. Present others with the truth that saves, for your testimony may become the bridge through which another soul comes to faith in Christ.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [ John 1:10 KJV ]

The world’s ignorance of its Creator and Saviour is not surprising. Jesus was in the world from the beginning, and through Him all things were made. Without Him, nothing exists that has been made. He is the One who upholds all things by His power, and every breath of life is sustained by His mercy. Yet when He came into the world, the world did not recognize Him. That tragic reality continues even today. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, preventing them from seeing the light of the gospel and the glory of Christ. As a result, many remain trapped in darkness, bound by sin, and separated from the very One who alone can set them free. The tragedy is not merely that they do not know about Him, but that they do not know Him. Yet it is the knowledge of Christ that brings redemption, liberation, and eternal life. But glory be to God! We live in a time when the gospel is being proclaimed daily. The message of Jesus is reaching homes, cities, and nations. The opportunity to know Him is available to all. What is required is a humble heart that is willing to listen, believe, and surrender to His truth. As we come to know Him, His life begins to shape our own. We no longer live according to our old nature but according to His life within us. The life we now live in the flesh becomes an expression of His grace, power, and character. And as we walk with Him, we increasingly reflect Him, until the world can see in us the One whom it has failed to recognize. Then, as Scripture declares, as He is, so are we in this world.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to know your Son Jesus. Help me to live in His life daily. 

Wisdom_Quote: the known Jesus saves

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for paying the price for my redemption. I accept your sacrifice for me. Be my Lord and Saviour.

But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. [ 1 Peter 4:7 NKJV ]

When a major event is still far away, those preparing for it often approach rehearsals casually. But when the appointed day is near, every moment becomes precious, every instruction matters, and every participant becomes more focused. The nearness of the deadline produces seriousness. In the same way, the apostle Peter exhorts believers to be serious and watchful in both prayer and their walk with God. He gives a clear reason for this exhortation: “The end of all things is at hand.” The reality of a coming day of accountability should awaken us from spiritual complacency. Knowing that time is short, we cannot afford to waste our lives on things that have no eternal value. There is another reason for this urgency. As the end draws nearer, the enemy is intensifying his efforts to deceive, distract, and destroy. The devil is seeking to harvest as many souls as possible before his time runs out. Therefore, we cannot afford to live carelessly or give him opportunities to gain an advantage over us. Peter’s counsel is as relevant today as it was when he first wrote it: be serious and watchful in prayer. In a generation filled with distractions, this may be one of the most important pieces of advice for every believer. Prayer keeps us alert, sensitive to God’s voice, and prepared for the days ahead. Yet this kind of spiritual vigilance cannot be sustained by human determination alone. We need the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. He is the One who enables us to remain watchful when we would otherwise become careless, and serious when we would otherwise become distracted. Therefore, let us yield ourselves to Him, that we may live with the urgency, sobriety, and devotion that the times demand.

Prayer_Bead: Father in heaven, thank you for reminding me to be serious and watchful.

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. [ Matthew 5:14 NKJV ]

The Lord Jesus came into the world as the Light of the world. And all who have received and embraced that Light have themselves become lights in a dark world. That is why Scripture calls us the light of the world—because Christ dwells within us. As He is, so are we in this world. Through Him, we have become unto God a glorious city set upon a hill. One defining characteristic of light is this: it cannot be hidden. Light was never designed for concealment. In the same way, anyone who truly carries Jesus as Lord and Saviour, with the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, cannot remain hidden for long. Peter tried to hide his identity. He attempted to deny his association with Jesus, yet his life betrayed him. His mouth denied Christ, but his character revealed Him. The fire of Christ upon a man cannot stay covered forever. We must therefore embrace our identity in Christ and stop hiding the life God has given us. Through Jesus, God has set us ablaze; our responsibility is to let the world see us burn for Him. We must boldly display the brilliance of God’s glory through surrendered lives, so that those trapped in darkness may see the Light and be drawn unto Him.

Prayer_Bead: Father in heaven, thank you for bringing me into your light. So that I may see and not walk in darkness. 

Wisdom_Quote: Light cannot be hidden from darkness 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, I accept you into my life today. Be my light and my salvation. Deliver me from the power of sin and cloth me with your righteousness.

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. [ 2 Corinthians 4:4 NIV ]

The light of the gospel reveals to the lost soul the way out of slavery to sin. But for a man to walk out of bondage, he must first be able to see the door to freedom. Unfortunately, the minds of unbelievers have been blinded, so they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ. The god of this age has blinded many eyes. It manifests in different forms and disguises. Sometimes it appears through new age teachings and philosophies that sound enlightened and reasonable, yet quietly rob the soul of true life. Other times it hides behind religion—through endless dos and don’ts, burdensome rules and outward performances that weary the soul but never transform it. The strategy of the god of this age is simple: make people believe anything except the truth that sets men free. Under its influence, people feel enlightened while remaining spiritually blind. They think they see, yet they cannot recognize the glory of Christ revealed in the gospel. But the light of salvation is still available to all men. The gospel still shines. Christ is still revealed. The tragedy is not that the light is absent, but that many have submitted themselves to the very system that blinds them. This god only blinds those who yield to it, trust in it, and worship it. Yet whenever a man turns to Christ, the veil is lifted. The blinded eyes begin to see, and the soul discovers the freedom that has always been found in Him.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for opening my eyes to the gospel message and causing your light to shine in my heart. 

Wisdom_Quote: Religion is the blinding god of this age

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, I have struggled to keep the law by myself to no avail. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour today, be my righteousness and my guide.

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [ Galatians 3:27 KJV ]

There are different kinds of baptisms mentioned in Scripture. There is John’s baptism, which was a baptism of repentance; there is the baptism of the Holy Spirit; and there are other references to baptisms in the Bible. Yet among them, water baptism carries a profound revelation for every believer. Ultimately, it is not merely the act or method of baptism that matters, but the revelation behind it. Water baptism in Christ is a declaration of death and resurrection. When a believer goes down into the water, it is a public testimony that they have died to sin and to the old nature that once ruled them. The old person is buried beneath the waters. Then, as they rise out of the water, it is a testimony that they have been raised to life by the power of the Holy Spirit. But they do not rise as the same person they once were. They emerge as a new creation. Their former self has been crucified and buried, and they come forth clothed with a new identity. They put on Christ. This is because, in God’s reckoning, it is not the old person that comes back from the grave—it is Christ’s life that is now manifested in them. Therefore, from that moment onward, they are to live not for themselves, but for the One who now lives through them: Christ Jesus. Scripture describes Christ as One whom we “put on.” Like a garment, He can be embraced or neglected. Though His life has been given to us, we can still choose to walk contrary to that life. Whenever we lay aside Christ in our conduct, attitudes, and desires, we rob ourselves of the very purpose and power of the resurrection. Water baptism is not merely about getting wet; it is about embracing a new life. The old has died. The new has come. Therefore, put on Christ daily like a garment. Let His character clothe your thoughts, His nature govern your actions, and His life be revealed through you. That is the true testimony of one who has risen with Christ.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to die with your Son and resurrect with Him.
