Go to Jesus first

[The Glory Unveiled].

Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” [ Matthew 4:19

The deceitfulness of the world and its vain culture has programmed us for fishing before taking a fishing class with Jesus. It was not so when the Master taught the first disciples. The initial principle was to first follow! Following preceded the practice of fishing. In fact, following is the practice of the art of fishing. It was in following the Lord Jesus that the early disciples learnt to fish for men. Unfortunately, the schemes and gimmicks of the world and corporate life has bullied many of us into believing that we have to create strategic means to lure people to Jesus. In the end, these people are brought in, not because they had seen the real Jesus and fell in love with Him. They are dragged in by their lustful appetite for what the fishermen advertised about their church or denominations. In the end, when their appetite change or when that appetite is satiated, there are no advents. All these schemes do not survive under the weight of the burden and need of the human soul. The real formula for success in the ministry of souls is first following the Lord Jesus Christ in absolute obedience. And then later, we will realize that lost souls are drawn to the message in our mouth that holds like hook. Salvation is by no other and in no other name than in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Genuine souls [fishes] will gather because of the Lord and not really because of anything else. Instead of going fishing first, let’s go to Jesus first, and then the fishes will be drawn to us.

Prayer_Bead: Lord of the Harvest, Author and Finisher of our faith, thank you showing me that I must come to you first. Help me to submit to this formula.

Wisdom_Quote: Follow Jesus, fishes will find you.

The perfect secret to success.

[The Glory Unveiled]

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. [ Joshua 1:8 NIV ]

God’s recipe for success is hidden in plain sight. Evidently, God’s word holds so many secrets to life and everything else there is out there. On the pages of the scriptures are the raw materials we need to have the kind of life we dream of. Here in our anchor verse of scripture, God shows us the shortcut to success—meditating on the word of God. This instruction is sure to produce the results it promised. Meditation is the vehicle for transformation. Meditation changes the heart and mind, and positions a person in the place of success. But what is meditation? We need to understand meditation because it is the gap between where we are and where we want to be. Meditation means to say out loud and to ponder over something until the substance within it is absorbed. It means to repeatedly say out loud while pondering until it can be said ad nauseam. At that point, our lives begin to radiant the reality of those words. And then we begin to do everything that the word is. Our lives becomes the evidence of that truth. Moses was in meditation in the mountain of God until his soul was so soaked in the glory of God that his flesh absorbed the radiance of God’s presence. So that when he came down from the mountain, his face shone with light. Meditating on the word of God must be the daily business of every believer. And then the transformation we seek will happen without us realizing it. The byproduct, prosperity and success, is at the mercies of daily meditation on the word of God. Say the scriptures out loud to yourself as if God was saying then to your spirit and your life will come into the light of its truth.

Prayer_Bead: Dear father-King, thank you for showing me the secret recipe for success and prosperity. As I practice these things, I thank you because my life will be the byproduct of its realities.

The constant focus of God’s delight.

[The Glory Unveiled]

“But while Peter was still speaking, a bright radiant cloud spread over them, enveloping them all. And God’s voice suddenly spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my dearly loved Son, the constant focus of my delight. Listen to him!”” [ Matthew‬ ‭17‬: 5 TPT‬‬ ]

The Lord Jesus is the constant focus of God’s delight. In every generation; yesterday, today and tomorrow, the Lord Jesus remains the constant focus of God’s delight. On this auspicious occasion, [recorded in our text] God demonstrated that Jesus is always His focus. In that meeting, other personalities were in attendance but God had eyes for just One. This reinforces the truth that nothing can get God’s attention by going around Christ. No one can have anything that God offers without passing through Christ. While Peter was still speaking, the Father cut in. He will not let another share His glory;—Peter was talking about dividing the glory among the three personalities, Moses, Elijah and the Lord Jesus. And so the father came in to clarify things. The Father spoke and said, the Son is the constant focus of His delight. In other words, the only person who perfectly catches His attention is the Son. This is why we cannot please God by ourselves apart from Christ. And the reason why we are only saved when we hide in the Lord Jesus by faith. Nothing else brings delight to the father like the Son. We can only please the father in the Son. When we present ourselves to God through faith in His Son, then we too become His delight but apart from that, we cannot please Him. Nothing else replaces the Son to the father and so we cannot put anything or anyone else in place of the Son for our salvation and redemption. Not Moses, not Elijah and certainly not our pastor or prophet. If ever we want to be the delight of God, we must hide in the constant focus of His delight, His Son.

Prayer_Bead: Dear heavenly King, thank you for making me the focus of your delight because of your son.
