The Spirit and the Word 

[The Glory Unveiled]

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. [ Acts 10:44 NKJV ]

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one. They are inseparable in their divine essence and nature. This is why, when Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father, Jesus answered, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” In seeing the Son, Philip was seeing the Father because the Son perfectly reveals the Father. For this reason, wherever the Son is, the Holy Spirit is also present. And because Jesus, the Son, is the Word of God who became flesh, we can understand that wherever the Word of God is truly present and received, the Holy Spirit is at work. This means that an environment can be conditioned to accommodate the activity of the Holy Spirit when it is pumped and saturated with the Word of God. The Word creates an atmosphere in which the Spirit can move, teach, convict, reveal, and transform. This is why we repeatedly see the Holy Spirit manifesting Himself in places where the Word was being preached and taught. In our anchor text, while Peter was speaking to the people concerning the Word of God, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the message. The Word was being spoken, and the Spirit was at work. The atmosphere was saturated with the Word, and the Spirit responded. Therefore, be a student of the Word. Fill your heart, your mind, and your environment with the Word of God. When you give yourself continually to the Word, you create an atmosphere in which the Holy Spirit can teach, lead, and transform you.

Stay at His feet 

[The Glory Unveiled]

And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. [ Luke 10:39 NKJV ]

The acts that transform and change our lives are not always great or perceivable acts. More often than not, the things that profoundly change us are the little, seemingly insignificant things we do consistently. When Jesus visited the home of Martha, she was busy doing many things. She was occupied with service, activity and the demands of the moment. Yet Jesus told her that only one thing was necessary: to recognise Him and remain at His feet. You see, we can only truly stay with Jesus when we recognise Him for who He is. Everything was made by Him and for Him. Everything finds its meaning, purpose and ultimate direction in Him. Everything is drawn towards Him. So, when by the Holy Spirit we recognise who Jesus is and choose to remain at His feet, something begins to happen within us—we become like Him. Prolonged proximity produces resemblance. Throughout Scripture, those who stayed with Jesus long enough began to look like Him. His presence shaped their character, His words transformed their thinking, and His nature became evident in their lives. And when we take on His identity, we begin to exhibit His nature. We become obedient because He is obedient. We love because He is love. His life begins to find expression through ours. So, quit running around trying to become what only sitting at His feet can make you. Slow down. Stay at His feet. Learn of Him. Look upon Him. Listen to Him. Because sometimes, the greatest transformation in your life will not come from doing more for Jesus, but from simply staying long enough with Jesus to become like Him.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for showing me the only thing that matters. Help me to do accordingly.
