[The Glory Unveiled]

“Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.” ( Luke 8 :25)

Where is our faith? The location of our faith determines the intonation of the results we see. The verse of Scripture above speaks about Jesus and his disciples en route Gerasenes. While on the lake, a violent wind came but Jesus was asleep. Now, anytime Christ seem quiet in our lives is the moment when our faith must speak up. Jesus was asleep in order to give room to the faith of the disciples to find expression in practical situations. Where is our faith? Today, many people invest their faith like they do their idle time. They have their faith scattered everywhere in any thing seemingly convincing but yielding no true results. When faced with a real world challenge, we need more than whatever human resources we might have subscribed to. Where is our faith anchored? Is it in Christ or has fear robbed us of it? Nobody can say they have faith before they are faced with a situation that needs faith. Our faith is seen only in the face of a crisis. Faith has no seasons; every season is ripe for faith. Sometimes, we confuse ourselves that certain situations do not need faith but common sense. What a shallow way of thinking? We live by faith. Our very existence and life is hinged on our faith. So that without faith, there is no life nor living. So ask yourself again, where is my faith?

Prayer_Bead: Father in heaven, the author and finisher of my faith, thank you for the grace to place my faith in you, in all circumstances.

[The Glory Unveiled]

So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his rule was firmly established. ( 1Kings2:12)

God is the master craftsman. He knows how to use the deformed artefact and the wrong paintings for the best purposes. Solomon is the son of Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, the man David had murdered with the hand of another man. Now, David had many sons but it was Solomon, he chose to sit on his throne. Painfully, we can say that Solomon wouldn’t have been born if not for the mistake of David. Now, David had regretted for his mistake. He probably said a lot of things to himself in regret, maybe even saying how awful he was. But somehow, in the veins of his mistakes lies the reins for fulfilling God’s glory and purpose. God is not a man, He does what He wants, how He wants it and when He wants it. Solomon may be referred to as the result of a big mistake but somehow God chose Him instead of his elder brothers to rule. Beloved, don’t allow any circumstance around your life define who you are and what you can or cannot do. You are the best version of yourself that could ever be created. Nothing in your life is a mistake, mistakes are things that are outside the control of God. And that is nothing.

Prayer_Bead: God of Creation, who does not speak in vain, thank you for your predestination and eternal plan. Order my life in the trajectory of your purpose.

As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; ( Luke 24:15 )

There is a famous Scripture which says wherever two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst (see Matthew 18:20). That statement reiterates today’s Scripture verse. Two men, Cleopas and his friend were discussing the scriptures as they walked the road to Emmaus after the resurrection of Christ. As they talked about the things that had happened with regards to Christ, Jesus himself who is the word of God in flesh, came to walk along with them. If we want the Spirit of revelation into God’s truth, to walk through the scriptures, a sure way to do that is by partnering with others. When two or more people dwell together for the sole purpose of Christ, His Spirit honours that gathering. And wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty and fullness of joy. That is the blessing of partnership fellowship. We are filled with joy and a sense of freedom in the Lord. What do you discuss when you get the opportunity to be with someone or some group? Do you make room in your conversations for the issues of the Lord? Because it is the issues about Christ that gives the Spirit of Christ permission to visit us and explain things to us.

Prayer_Bead: Father God, guide my relationships and let them glide in the direction of partnership fellowship. Thank you for the joy in my heart.
