Talk to Jesus

[The Glory Unveiled]

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” [ Mark 10:47 NIV ]

How often we burden ourselves with unnecessary suffering, stress, and pain. We carry weights that were never assigned to us, simply because we refuse to talk to Jesus. Many of our struggles persist not because they are unsolvable, but because they are unspoken. There was a moment when the disciples were with Jesus at sea, and suddenly a violent storm arose. Jesus, however, was asleep in the lower part of the boat. Before they cried out to Him, the disciples attempted to manage the crisis on their own. After all, most of them were seasoned fishermen. They relied on experience, skill, and strength—but all of it proved fruitless. Only when they were exhausted and overwhelmed did they call out to Jesus, saying, “Do You not care that we are perishing?” Jesus arose, spoke to the wind, and instantly there was calm. One word from Him succeeded where all their effort failed. Imagine how much distress they could have spared themselves if they had spoken to Jesus sooner. Consider also the man known as Blind Bartimaeus. He had lived in darkness for many years. One day, he heard that Jesus was passing by. This was not a moment to be silent. He cried out to Jesus with urgency and faith. Even when the crowd tried to silence him, he refused to be stopped. He spoke directly to Jesus and made his request known. Immediately, his eyes were opened, and he began to see. What he had lacked for years came in a moment because he seized the opportunity to talk to Jesus. How many answers are delayed because we remain silent? Jesus told His disciples, “Until now you have asked nothing in My name.” Then He invited them to ask, promising that their joy would be full. Yet too often, we exhaust ourselves striving, struggling, and attempting to fix what only God can resolve. Stop carrying burdens that conversation with Jesus can remove. Stop wrestling with storms that one word from Him can calm. Speak to Jesus. Ask. Cry out. Your breakthrough may not require more effort—only more prayer.

Prayer_Bead: Heavenly Father, thank you for the provisions you have made for me in Christ Jesus. 

Wisdom_Quote: It is unwise exhausting yourself to fix what only God can fix. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for the provision you have made for my salvation through your sacrifice on my behalf. I accept you as my Saviour and Lord.

The bank statement of Jesus

[The Glory Unveiled]

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. [ Colossians 1:17 KJV ]

A bank statement gives a summary of a person’s wealth, capacity, and financial strength. By examining it, you can tell not only how much a person has, but how they live—what they value, how they spend, and what kind of life they sustain. When Jesus walked the earth, He revealed the true picture of what it means to live as a believer in God. His life was a living statement—an open ledger of Heaven’s resources at work on earth. From His words to His works, we see the vastness of His wealth and authority. He called things into existence where they did not exist. When tax was due, He summoned money from the mouth of a fish. When a multitude was hungry, He stored abundance in five loaves and two fish and fed five thousand men, with leftovers to spare. Jesus healed blind eyes and strengthened crippled limbs. He restored life to the dead and cured diseases beyond human remedy. He spent freely—material provision and spiritual power alike—yet never ran out. In Him all things consist and have their being. His “bank statement” records both the supernatural and the natural, the tangible and the intangible. He operated beyond the limits of nature and overturned the rules that govern money, lack, and scarcity. Through His life, Jesus demonstrated that the commonwealth of Heaven exceeds all we could ask, think, or imagine. Whatever the need, it can be charged to His account. Every request, every demand, every impossibility is well within His capacity. His resources never diminish, and His account never runs dry. So, whatever your need may be, ask it on account of Jesus. And have all your needs met. 

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the provision you have made in Jesus for me. 

Wisdom_Quote: The commonwealth of heaven has no limits

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, save me from every form of spiritual bankruptcy and give me your eternal life.

Qualities of Love

[The Glory Unveiled]

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. [ 1 John 4:18 KJV ]  

Love reveals itself through its qualities. It leaves fingerprints everywhere it goes. So if you want to find love, it is often wiser and easier to look first for its qualities. Follow them, and they will lead you straight to love itself. Scripture gives us a rich portrait of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4–8. We are told that love is patient and kind; it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. These are not random traits—they are close companions, bosom friends of the spirit of love. Wherever love is present, these qualities are never far behind. Then, in our anchor text, we are given an even deeper insight into love’s power: “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.” Love is not timid. Love is not insecure. Perfect love confronts fear and forces it to retreat. It strengthens you. It emboldens you. It gives you confidence to stand. The Scripture goes on to say that whoever is afraid has not been made perfect in love. In other words, fear exposes a lack of assurance. When we truly love someone, that love secures the relationship. It builds trust. We are not constantly anxious about losing them or worried that they will walk away. Love settles the heart. This is exactly how the love of God works in us. When we truly love God—and when we truly understand His love for us—we become bold and confident before Him. We are no longer confused or uncertain about whether God loves us. We stop living in fear of rejection or abandonment. But where fear still rules, love has not yet been fully embraced. Fear signals that we are not yet convinced of God’s love toward us. Yet God’s love was never meant to leave us trembling. His love delivers us from fear and clothes us with boldness. Perfect love does not just comfort us—it transforms us.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to experience your love in my life. 

Wisdom_Quote: Love settles the heart 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, I accept your love. Be my Lord today and help me to obey you henceforth.

God uses the prepared

[The Glory Unveiled]

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. [ 2 Timothy 2:21 NIV ]

God does not discriminate against His children. He created us all, and He loves each of us without exception. If there is any sense of discrimination we experience, it is not from God—it is from ourselves. It is our identity that places us into different categories. God does not use anyone who does not bear His identity. This is where it would seem heaven discriminates. God uses those who purge themselves of anything that prevents them from becoming vessels of honour—sanctified, set apart, and fit for the Master’s use. In that sense, the difference between people is not favoritism; it is preparation and positioning. We therefore hold the power of choice. We decide whether our lives will be usable in the hands of God or not. God will use anyone who positions themselves to become a channel of His life. When we accept the identity of His Son and deliberately let go of our old identity, we make ourselves available for divine use. As we rid ourselves of what is not of God, we begin to look like God. And when we look like Him, we reflect Him. At that point, God does not need to announce that we are His—our lives will testify for us. People will recognize His nation because His nature is visible in us. Our responsibility, therefore, is to intentionally work on ourselves, to align our lives with His nature, so that it never appears as though God is discriminating against us. The truth is simple: God is always willing to use us, but He will only use what looks like Him.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for showing me what to do to be used for good works. 

Wisdom_Quote: God will only use what looks like Him. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy upon me and save me.

The Light Burden

[The Glory Unveiled]

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. [Matthew 11:30 KJV]  

When the Lord Jesus invited people to come to Him, He did not speak in half-truths nor did He deceive them. He was profoundly honest. He acknowledged the weight people were already carrying—the crushing burdens of guilt, sin, fear, and weariness—and He offered real help. But He also made something unmistakably clear: His help does not remove responsibility; it replaces it. Jesus teaches us that burdens are unavoidable. You do not come to Him to live burden-free; you come to Him to exchange burdens. One cannot live without a yoke, but one can choose which yoke to carry. Many people spend their lives trying to escape every form of duty, every demand, every responsibility. Yet in running from responsibility, they find themselves pinned down by heavier, crueler burdens—burdens they never chose but cannot escape. All of humanity labored under the unbearable weight of sin. Into that reality, Jesus stepped with an offer of freedom and redemption. He called this gift a light burden. It is light not because it demands nothing, but because it gives life. It illuminates the soul. It frees the heart. And yet, it remains a burden, because it calls us into responsibility. To follow Christ means we no longer live for ourselves. It means our lives are no longer our own. As Galatians 2:20 declares, “I have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” This is the holy exchange. This is the responsibility we embrace to enjoy the freedom our souls so desperately seek. The burden of Christ does not crush us—it carries us.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for your light burden that sets my soul free. 

Wisdom_Quote: The burden of Christ does not crush us, it carries us. 

Salvation Bead: Lord Jesus, I believe that you can take away my burden, I accept your gift because I believe that you died for me. Be my Lord today and forever.

The Power of Agreements 

[The Glory Unveiled]

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.  [Matthew18:19 KJV]  

In Genesis, when the people came together to build a tower that would reach the heavens and make a name for themselves, God did not immediately stop them. Instead, He made a profound observation: nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them, because they are one. Not one in strength, not one in resources—but one in mind, one in purpose, one in agreement. Jesus later echoes this same spiritual principle when He declares that if two or more agree on earth concerning anything, His Father in heaven will act. In other words, agreement on earth gives authorization to heaven. When we come into true agreement, we open the door for divine involvement. Heaven responds, heaven supplies, and heaven releases resources that earthly resistance cannot stop. Agreement is never merely human. Every agreement carries spiritual backing. Supernatural forces stand behind what we consent to, working to ensure its fulfillment. This is why agreements must never be entered into carelessly. You are not just shaking hands with a person—you are summoning power to enforce the outcome. Agreement attracts forces that push things to completion. So if you are not prepared for the end result, do not enter the agreement. Heaven endorses unity. Heaven honours alignment. Heaven moves when people agree. And this is also the good news: if you need something to happen, do not stand alone. Find someone who can agree with you in faith, in purpose, and in prayer. When heaven backs your agreement, the results will often be astonishing—beyond what human effort alone could ever achieve.

Prayer_Bead: Father thank you for the power of earthly agreements. Thank you for the tremendous results.

The cost of ignorance 

[The Glory Unveiled]

“His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? [ Matthew 25:26 NIV ]

The cost of ignorance is not merely high—it is immeasurable, deeply regrettable, and spiritually bankrupting. Ignorance does not always announce itself as rebellion; sometimes it comes clothed in sincerity. Yet its consequences are just as severe. In the parable of the talents, the servant who received one talent did not lose everything because he lacked opportunity, but because he lacked understanding. He was ignorant of the true nature of his master. Convinced that his master was harsh and exploitative—one who reaped where he did not sow—he acted on a false conclusion. What he believed to be a reasonable fear was, in reality, a fatal misjudgment. That ignorance cost him his gift, his position, and ultimately his life. What makes his failure even more tragic is that his distorted view of the master blinded him from thinking creatively or responsibly. His heart was so occupied with fault-finding that he could not see a wiser response. Ironically, the master himself later revealed what the servant should have done—at the very least, he could have invested the money and returned it with interest. But ignorance had already paralyzed initiative and buried potential. In the kingdom of God, ignorance is not an exemption from accountability. This is why knowledge is not optional; it is essential. Scripture warns us plainly that God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. When we neglect our responsibilities under the excuse of ignorance, the consequences do not disappear. Obligation remains, judgment remains, and loss remains. Ignorance may feel harmless, but in the kingdom, it is costly.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for showing me not to lean on ignorance in my walk with you. 

Wisdom_Quote: Ignorance is a brilliant leader of destruction.

Don’t forget Jesus

[The Glory Unveiled]

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”[ Mark 8:19 NIV ]

Whenever we read or hear that five loaves of bread and two fishes fed five thousand men—excluding women and children because they could not be counted—we must remember that such a miracle never happens in isolation. Miracles are often told as stories of outcomes, while the Miracle Worker is quietly left out. But no matter the size or nature of a miracle, one constant remains: the Miracle Worker can never be ignored. Five loaves and two fishes, by themselves, are not enough to feed five thousand men. Without Jesus, they are simply lunch. It is His presence that turns scarcity into abundance. We must never leave out Jesus. The reason many people are not seeing or experiencing miracles is not because miracles have ceased, but because they want the miracle apart from the Miracle Worker. And that can never happen. Jesus is not an add-on to the miracle—He is the miracle package Himself. Nothing multiplies without the Multiplier. So while many chase signs, wonders, and supernatural outcomes, wisdom teaches us to seek the One who produces them. Find the Miracle Worker, not just the miracle. Look for Jesus, for He is the miracle within the miracle. Do not forget Him in your pursuit of what He gives, because without Him, what you seek does not—and cannot—exist.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to see you as my Miracle. 

Wisdom_Quote: Jesus is the Miracle in every miracle.

God knows you

[The Glory Unveiled]

But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. [ 1 Corinthians 8:3 NIV ]

Loving God brings you into the light of God. To love Him is to step out of hiding; it is to live openly before His face. You cannot genuinely love God and still remain concealed from Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s holy command, their first instinct was to hide. Sin made them afraid of being seen, of being known. Disobedience always drives us into the shadows. But love does the opposite. Jesus tells us plainly: “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Love invites obedience, and obedience keeps us exposed before God—seen, known, and covered by Him. The opposite is also true. Persistent disobedience is not just rebellion; it is a declaration of lovelessness. That is why Jesus warns that a day will come when He will say, “Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity; I do not know you.” It is not that He lacked information about them, but that they lived outside the covenant of love and obedience. To be “unknown” by God is to be without His defense, His advocacy, and His covering. But when we love God, something powerful happens. Our love draws out His jealous love toward us—His fierce protection, His guidance, His intimate involvement in our lives. Love keeps us within the boundaries of His care. And loving God does something else: it exposes you to you. In loving Him, God begins to unveil who He truly made you to be. He searches the depths of your heart and reveals hidden things—wounds, callings, gifts, and truths you never knew were there. He shows you yourself, not to condemn you, but to restore and align you with His purpose. So the question is: Do you love God? And if you do, is that love evident in your obedience to His Word?

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the grace you made available for me to love you. 

Wisdom_Quote: Disobedience drives us into the shadows, love for God drives us into the light.

The Lean Diet of Christ

[ The Glory Unveiled ]

But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” [ Matthew 4:4 NIV ]

Daniel, though exiled in Babylon, made a deliberate decision: he would live on the diet of Christ rather than the diet of the king. He was granted access to the finest food of the empire, yet he discerned that survival in Babylon required more than royal delicacies. He needed something deeper—something unseen—something the others were not privy to. So he chose restraint, faith, and obedience. And at the end of ten days, the verdict was unmistakable. The so-called “lean” diet proved superior to the rich portions of the king. Those who fed on faith appeared healthier, stronger, and better nourished than those who indulged in abundance (Daniel 1:15). By this hidden strength, Daniel did not merely survive Babylon—he lived in it as one who owned the city. This same diet sustained the Lord Jesus throughout His earthly life and ministry. When His disciples urged Him to eat in John 4:31, He replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” This is the lean diet of Christ: living on the Word of God and doing the will of God. And here is the divine paradox—those who live on this “lean” diet do not grow lean. They grow stronger. They grow fuller. They grow healthier in the deepest places of life. The lean diet of Christ addresses the real issues of life in the life of the one who commits to it. So get on that diet. Feed on Christ. Live by His Word; man shall not live by bread alone. Do His will. And watch Him sort out the issues of your life from the inside out.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to be on the diet of Christ.  

Wisdom_Quote: The lean diet of Christ cures leanness.
