[The Glory Unveiled]
Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his [Jesus’] glory and the two men standing with him. ( Luke 9:32 )
Many Believers all over the world may call and pray for the glory of God, organise retreats that capture the theme or read about it in the word of God. But even when the Lord should take us to the mountain top, to witness His glorious transfiguration, unless we are fully awake, we cannot see it. We are in a time and a dispensation where sleep is weighing down the majority of Believers. We pray for a lot of revivals and sometimes organise retreats to that effect. But in reality we see nothing. It is as if we are sleep talking. And we are not making meaning in expressing what we desire. The reason, according to today’s text is the weight of sleep. We need to wake up as the body of Christ because the bridegroom is here. From the Scripture above, we can deduce that, the glory had been on Jesus all the while that the three disciples were sleeping. But they could not see the glory of Jesus until they were fully awake. So until Believers are fully awake, they cannot see the glory of God. Irrespective of the number of years they have been in the faith. We must be awakened to the consciousness of spiritual realities. So much is happening around us, do you not see it? (see Isaiah 43:19). Let us awaken to the realities around us. Awake o sleeper.
Prayer_Bead: Thank you, King of glory. Open the eyes of my understanding to see and understand the knowledge of your glory. Drive spiritual slumber far away from me, in Jesus name.
