Do Likewise!

[The Glory Unveiled]

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. [ Ephesians 4:32 KJV ] 

Forgiveness stands at the very heart of both the Old and the New Testament. As a race, we offended God and stood in need of His forgiveness. Yet forgiveness could not be granted casually; it required that the righteous demands of God be fully satisfied. And there was only one who could meet that standard—God Himself, revealed in His Son. Therefore, God chose to forgive us, not on the basis of our effort, our sacrifices, or anything we could ever offer, but solely on account of Jesus Christ. Consider this carefully: if nothing humanity did—from the days of Abel to the days of Zechariah—was sufficient to appease God, then it is certain that nothing we can do after the death of Jesus can make amends. This is why self-reliance fails us, and why every one of us needs divine help. God forgave us in Christ Jesus, and in doing so, He left us a living pattern for how to forgive others. We have been forgiven an immeasurable debt in Christ; therefore, we are called to forgive the comparatively small offenses committed against us—no matter how large they may appear. We forgive because God forgave first. We forgive because He set the example. So we are exhorted to be kind and tenderhearted, just as Christ was, extending to others the same grace that has been so abundantly extended to us.

Prayer_Bead: Merciful Father, thank you for forgiving me on account of Jesus. 

Wisdom_Quote: To whom much is given, much is required. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for paying the price for my wrong doings. I acknowledge and accept you as Lord and Saviour.

Does Jesus know you?

[The Glory Unveiled]

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [ Matthew 7:21 NIV ]

In many evangelistic meetings today, the sinner’s prayer is often presented as though it were a magic wand. People are urged to repeat certain words, to make a declaration, and then are quickly assured that they have accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Now, there is nothing inherently wrong with praying the sinner’s prayer. Scripture itself affirms confession as essential to salvation. Romans 10:9–10 clearly teaches that salvation involves confessing with the mouth. However, the problem arises when the prayer is treated as sufficient in itself. The same passage that speaks about confession places equal, if not greater, emphasis on believing in the heart. In God’s order, belief precedes confession. The mouth speaks because the heart has first been persuaded. Where there is no genuine heart-belief, the confession becomes empty—mere words without life or substance. This means that a mouth that declares the lordship of Jesus simply because it was instructed to do so, without an inward conviction, has no true connection with Him. To such people, Jesus Himself issues a sobering warning: “I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” (Matthew 7:23). These are not words spoken to pagans, but to those who claimed His name without surrendering their hearts. God is not merely seeking verbal assent; He is calling for a response of the heart—one that produces a tangible transformation in life and conduct. True faith begins with a willingness to yield our will to Christ. If we truly believe that Jesus is Lord, then surrender is not optional; it is inevitable. Lordship demands ownership, and ownership demands submission. In the end, Jesus knows only those who believe in Him in truth and demonstrate that belief through wholehearted surrender. Even now, He stands at the door of your heart, knocking by the conviction of the Holy Spirit. This is not a call to recite words, but an invitation to open the door. Open it. Yield to Him. Let Him be Lord indeed.

Prayer_Bead: Father of All Things, thank you for the grace to surrender to Jesus in all things. 

Wisdom_Quote: Salvation starts with the heart, not with the mouth. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, I am fully persuaded that you are Lord. Rule and reign in my life from today henceforth. I surrender to you in all things.

The system of Faith

[The Glory Unveiled]

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. [ Hebrews 11:6 NIV ]

Yesterday, we examined God’s divine system—the system that grants us access to the obedience of Christ as though we ourselves had obeyed. We established that everything God accomplished in Christ Jesus for our redemption is only accessible through this one channel: faith. Scripture is unequivocal—without faith, it is impossible to please God. This tells us something fundamental: there is no legitimate engagement with God outside of faith. Faith is not optional; it is the only authorized platform by which humanity accesses God. Faith is the realm where what we could never do personally becomes legally and spiritually ours. It is the system that empowers us to wear, project, and present what belongs to Christ as our own. Outside of this system, all human striving—our discipline, our toil, our attempts to meet God’s standards—amounts to nothing more than wasted energy. No matter how sincere, effort without faith can never satisfy God. But when we step into God’s system of faith, something extraordinary happens. We gain access to the finished work of Christ and put it on as though it originated from us. God completed His redemptive work in the laboratory of Christ, and then, in His grace, He gave us the privilege to present that finished work back to Him—not by labor, but by believing. Faith allows us to stand before God as though we personally fulfilled every requirement, simply because we trust in what Christ has already done. This is why believing is not a mental exercise; it is a spiritual transaction. Whatever you truly believe, you possess. Do not merely ask—believe that you have received what you ask for. And when belief is in place, possession is inevitable. What you believe, you will have.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for giving me access to everything in Jesus through the system of faith. 

Wisdom_Quote: Whatever you truly believe, you posses. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, come into my life and be my Master and Saviour. I submit to you today and forever.

Jesus—the laboratory of God

[The Glory Unveiled]

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, [ Galatians 3:26 NIV ]

All of humanity was alienated from God through the disobedience of Adam. In that single act of rebellion, we forfeited our right to sonship and became strangers to the life of God. Separation became our inheritance. Yet God, who is love, could not abandon what He had created. At the same time, He could not accommodate corruption without violating His own nature and word. So across generations, God worked patiently through human vessels, calling hearts back to Himself. Prophets spoke, laws were given, sacrifices were offered—but none could fully restore what had been lost. Humanity remained unable to bridge the gulf created by sin. Then, in the fullness of time, God did what no one else could do. He came down Himself. He paid the price for our disobedience and our wandering. This redemptive work was carried out in God’s own “laboratory”—the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. In Christ, the full weight of God’s justice fell upon humanity, and justice was satisfied. Yet in that same Christ, humanity was reconciled back to a loving Father. Because humanity did not personally bear the punishment for its own sin, God instituted a spiritual system by which we could lawfully access what we did not accomplish. That system is faith. Through faith, God grants us entitlement to what Jesus did, as though we had done it ourselves. His obedience becomes our obedience. His righteousness becomes our righteousness. Therefore, through Jesus Christ, all who believe are no longer aliens or outsiders. We are legitimate children of God—restored to sonship, reconciled by grace, and received through faith.

Prayer_Bead: Father in Heaven, thank you for the sacrifice of your Son Jesus. I am eternally grateful. 

Wisdom_Quote: Through faith in Jesus, we were grafted back into the family of God. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for paying the price for my sake. I surrender to your Lordship. Rule and reign in my life.

He is Able!

[The Glory Unveiled]

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, [ Ephesians 3:20 KJV ]

Capability is the assurance of what can be done. It tells the story of possibility—of outcomes that are available when the right conditions are in place. Capacity speaks not only of ability, but of reserve: unused strength, untapped power, latent potential. Scripture declares that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. This means God’s capacity is not merely sufficient; it is vast, immeasurable, and far beyond the limits of human imagination or creativity. There is no shortage in God. There is no ceiling to His power. Yet the same scripture makes a crucial clarification: God does this according to the power that is at work within us. In other words, divine capacity is unlimited, but divine manifestation is proportional. What we see outwardly is determined by the room we have made inwardly for the Spirit of God to operate. This explains a sobering reality: although God is fully able to exceed our prayers and surpass our expectations, we may experience far less than what we ask for. This is not because God is unjust, unwilling, or withholding. It is because the space created within us for that expression is small. The validating measure of God’s abundant ability is the power at work in us. The question, then, is not whether God can do it, but how much of His power is active within us. The size of the power at work determines the size of the manifestation. It determines the scale of the miracle. It determines the reach of the answered prayer. Therefore, enlarge the room. Make space for greater operations of the Spirit of God within you. As that power increases at work in us, we will not merely receive what we ask for—we will experience far more than we could ever think or imagine.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to understand this truth. Help me to apply it well. 

Wisdom_Quote: The size of the power of God at work in us, determines the size of the manifestation around us. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today. Guide me into looking like you.

The truth that sets free

[The Glory Unveiled]

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” [ John 8:32 NIV ]

This passage of Scripture is frequently quoted whenever we speak about freedom or emphasize the power of truth. Yet, what is often overlooked is how the verse actually begins: “Then you will know…”That single word, then, signals that this promise is not isolated. It is the result of something already established. It points us backward to what Jesus had just said. To grasp the full weight of this promise, we must begin with verse 31. There, Scripture tells us that Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed Him and said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.” This makes it unmistakably clear: the freedom proclaimed in the next verse is not a generic offer to all listeners, but a promise directed to believers—those who have placed their faith in Him. But Jesus does not stop there. He adds a defining condition. Belief alone is not the endpoint; allegiance is required. “If you hold to my teaching,” He says, then you will know the truth, and that truth will set you free. Freedom flows from faith that is anchored in obedience. It is in our commitment to the Word of God—our perseverance in His teaching—that we come to know the truth experientially, not merely intellectually. Therefore, before we boldly declare that “the truth shall set you free,” we must ask a more searching question: is the one seeking freedom living in submission to the truth? For the truth does not liberate spectators; it frees practitioners.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the blessing of your word to me. Help me to hold on to your every word. In Jesus name. 

Wisdom_Quote: Not every truth sets free, it is the truth you hold unto that sets free 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, I have come to know your truth and to believe in it. I recognize that I am a sinner, have mercy upon me and save me.

Your defining principle  

[The Glory Unveiled]

Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, [ Philippians 3:13 NIV ]

Every great man or woman operates from a defining principle—a hidden conviction that governs every step and shapes every decision. The Apostle Paul, one of the greatest figures of the New Testament, openly reveals his governing secret. He declares that he forgets what lies behind and strains toward what lies ahead. This principle is echoed powerfully in Hebrews 12:1: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” This is not merely a suggestion; it is a divine blueprint for every believer. Because we are watched by witnesses—those who have run before us—we are instructed to lay aside every weight and every sin that restricts our movement. Only then are we able to run, and not just run, but run with perseverance. This is precisely what Paul practiced. The weight he cast aside was his past—his former life, his former identity, his former failures and achievements alike. He refused to be defined or delayed by what was behind him, choosing instead to press forward into what God had set before him. The same principle holds true for us today. When we deliberately push aside the weights that hold us back—whether past mistakes, past victories, or lingering guilt—and commit ourselves to the race ahead, the results are undeniable. Freedom produces focus. Focus fuels perseverance. And perseverance propels us into the future God has ordained for us.

Prayer_Bead: Father of all things, thank you for showing me this principle in your word. Help me to apply it to my life. 

Wisdom_Quote: Forget what is behind and strain for what is ahead. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for saving me from my past. I am a new creation through your redemptive work. I accept your forgiveness and receive your grace.

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.
