The child became a son


[The Glory Unveiled]

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ( Isaiah 9:6 )

The secrets of God are the plain things of the Holy Spirit reserved for the discerning and those to whom God has bestowed understanding. God intricately hides His glory in plain sight. Christ Jesus is the embodiment of this agenda of God perceptible by faith. Many centuries before Moses penned the book of Genesis, God promised (prophesied) a child as the seed of the woman (see Genesis 3:15). This seed, after thousands of years became the son that is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, our Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and the One on whose shoulders the government rests. The seed [child] was a prophecy, fulfilled as the son. God’s word does not fall to the ground. His words will always fulfill all that it is sent to accomplish. This is why we can trust the word of God above all other conversations of man. God is faithful. God is committed to His word. The child was born, and the son was given. The prophecy was pronounced (born), and the fulfillment (son) was given. Whatever God said, God will give the fulfillment to His glory. Glory!!!.

Prayer_Bead: Omniscient King, Wonderful Counselor, King of Kings, thank you for the fulfillment of your word. Thank you for giving us your Son.

Our love source


[The Glory Unveiled]

We love because he first loved us. ( 1 John 4:19 )

We are in the season of love. And it is only appropriate we turn our lens to the topic of love. Love has lately been misunderstood or abused. The scripture says we love because He first loved us. This means that without He (Christ), we do not know what love is and cannot love as a result. Jesus is the portrait of love for us. Today, in our pursuit of love and our search for it, we need to have the portrait in front of us, Christ. So that love will flow from that trajectory to us. We cannot love in isolation from Christ neither can we be loved without Christ. We can only love God because He first loved us and we can love our neighbors because God first shared His love abroad in our hearts. Let brotherly love continue.

Prayer_Bead: Thank you Lord Jesus for your love for me. Help me to express your love to the world.

Victory by faith


[The Glory Unveiled]

For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. ( 1 John 5:4 )

The world has systems and “mountains” and many people have sold their souls to the devil to operate these systems and mountains. They exchange a permanent victory for a temporary glory. But there is another avenue to win over the world. Except that this also comes with a restriction. This avenue is limited to those who have accepted Christ as Lord over their lives. Hence, the Believer’s victory over the world is in Christ. Outside of Christ, the Believer cannot overcome the world. And this victory is tied to our faith in Christ. So that unless we are born of God, we cannot exercise that faith over the world. Everything in God is accessible through faith. Without faith, we cannot get over the wall of divide that separates the ordinary life from the supernatural life. One of which is the victorious life.

Prayer_Bead: Author and Finisher of my faith, thank you for the victory of the cross. I live in that victory for me by faith in you.

Slaves of God


[The Glory Unveiled]

Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. ( 1 Peter 2:16 )

God so love humanity, that He sent His only begotten son to pay the penalty for our wrong. This act gives us the opportunity to return to the family of God (see John 1:12). Though we are given the privilege of sonship when we believe in Christ and as result we are free, God does not force us to comply with His ways and plans for us. He gives us the freedom to choose what to do with the freedom we have, whether good or bad. But if we love God as much as we profess, we need to become slaves of God. And this not by coercion but by our free will. We hear comments like “In Christ, I am free to do whatever I want to do”. That is true, the apostle Paul said he is free to do all things but not all things are beneficial to him. And so he will not be brought under the power of any. He chose to become the bond servant of Christ as a pledge of allegiance to God. Let us live as slaves of God so that we can express the life of God.

Prayer_Bead: Thank you Jesus for the opportunity to live for you freely. Empower me to succeed in this life I have subscribed to.

Faith in the hearing


[The Glory Unveiled]

But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand. ( Acts 4:4 )

There had never been a time when people believed anything without hearing, touching, seeing or feeling something. Beliefs have always been founded on something perceptible to the heart. Jesus told some fishermen that He will make them fishers of men. True to that word, they were sent out to the fields of souls. In the book of Acts, the disciples had so many more people joining the family of God. But before these people could ever join this family, they had to hear something. So that it was not everybody who got saved but those from the sample of people who heard the message. Until that gospel of the kingdom was preached to them, faith couldn’t have come alive in them to lead them to Christ. It is by grace we have been saved, through faith. The medium of faith is necessary for anyone to reach God. For anyone who comes to God must believe that He is and a rewarder of they who diligently seek Him. Keep hearing the word, keep walking in the light of His word.

Prayer_Bead: Omniscient King, Omnipotent Father, thank you for the word of faith that brought me salvation. Keep me in the bosom of your love in Christ Jesus.
