Wait, for the Lord


[The Glory Unveiled]

But they soon forgot what he had done
and did not wait for his plan to unfold. ( Psalms 106:13 )

The scripture speaks about the Israelites and what happened during their journey to the land of promise. The promise to them was that they would be taken from the land of slavery into a land flowing with milk and honey. And to prove that the word of prophecy was going to manifest, many signs and wonders were performed in the very eyes of the people to reassure them. Initially, they were amazed and encouraged by these miracles and so their trust in God waxed strong. But after some time, they forgot what the Lord had done for them when they faced challenges. What fear and impatience does is that, it erases the initial intentions of God for a people. When Sarah, became impatient, Ishmael was born, when Esau refused to endure, he lost his destiny. For the plans of God to unfold by their own accord, we need to wait on the Lord. Waiting on the Lord in the secret place is the secret to living a life that cannot be defined by world’s standards and the world’s systems.

Prayer_Bead: Faithful father, Gracious Lord, thank you for your commitment to your word for me. Give me the grace to wait upon your plan to unfold in my life.

Holy Spirit, our partner.

[The Glory Unveiled]

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. ( Romans 8:26 )

Many are the items on our prayers lists. Sometimes there are so many items that we are unable to pray them all. The reason is because of our weaknesses. The flesh burdens us with unnecessary cares that drag us into delay over time. Most of the things we think we need are only the wants of the flesh, the lust of the eyes or the pride of life being voiced through the medium of prayer. So that the fact that we say a lot of things in the name of Jesus does not make them true prayers nor prayers at all according to the charter of heaven. The Bible says that no man knows the spirit of another man except the spirit of that man and no man knows the Spirit of God, except the Spirit of God. In our bid to fellowship and commune with the Spirit of God, we are faced with the challenge of interacting with God through our spirit; interacting with God with the right words and at the right frequency because we do not know the Spirit of God without the assistance of the Holy Spirit. But as many who have the mind of Christ, by accepting His Lordship, have the Holy Spirit interceding for them. Let us align to the Holy Spirit in the place of prayer so that He will pray through us what we ought to pray.

Prayer_Bead: Father in the name of Jesus, thank you for giving me of your Spirit and the opportunity through the blood of Jesus to fellowship with you even with my spirit. Help me to align to you Holy Spirit.

Decree what you desire


[The Glory Unveiled]

You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways. ( Job 22:28 )

When we look carefully at this verse of scripture, we cannot but notice the tone of love. We would also perceive the sincerity of a God who desires for His children to be blessed and independently dependent on Him. So that a love relationship will be established. Whatever God decrees is established no matter what it is. God wills all power and authority, both in heaven and under heaven. Nothing happens or will happen outside of His watch. As such God is permitted by Himself and for His glory to do whatever He pleases. But above all, God does any and everything in love because He is love. God in this verse of scripture enjoins us to also do as He does, decide a thing and decree it into establishment. The objective is to have the light of God’s favour and love shine upon our ways and then the world can see the glory of God in our lives. Beloved, God has given us the privilege to decree what we want to see manifest in our lives and world. Decree a thing today, enforce the truth of God’s word by decree.

Prayer_Bead: Omnipotent Father, thank you for the privilege to decree what I decide. Today, I decree that your will be done on earth and in my life. I decree supplies for me and my household today.
