[The Glory Unveiled]

And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper we hear of him!
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?” ( Job 26:14 )

In truth, nothing in time can confine or define eternity. It is also a fact that all of the seen realm cannot host the unseen realm. The things we call the unseen realm in this physical realm are only the ripple effects of the unseen realm. So Job calls the wonderful things we see as the extensions of God’s glory on earth as the fringes of his works. He further explains that the things we think we hear are so faint compared to what is heard (expressed) of Him behind the veil of the earth. So that when we come to the realm of Glory, which is the realm of the totality of God; the atmosphere of the Godhead and His fullness, we will not be furnished with the right words to communicate such experiences. This is why many who came close to that glory were half dead most of the time. One said, I was like a dead man (Revelation 1:17). The flesh cannot stay in that atmosphere because it lacks the capacity to host His realities. God is the reality of both the seen and the unseen realm.

Prayer_Bead: Almighty King, Gracious Lord, thank you for the extension of your glory into the seen world. Let the world see your glory through me.

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ( Isaiah 9:6 )

The secrets of God are the plain things of the Holy Spirit reserved for the discerning and those to whom God has bestowed understanding. God intricately hides His glory in plain sight. Christ Jesus is the embodiment of this agenda of God perceptible by faith. Many centuries before Moses penned the book of Genesis, God promised (prophesied) a child as the seed of the woman (see Genesis 3:15). This seed, after thousands of years became the son that is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, our Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace and the One on whose shoulders the government rests. The seed [child] was a prophecy, fulfilled as the son. God’s word does not fall to the ground. His words will always fulfill all that it is sent to accomplish. This is why we can trust the word of God above all other conversations of man. God is faithful. God is committed to His word. The child was born, and the son was given. The prophecy was pronounced (born), and the fulfillment (son) was given. Whatever God said, God will give the fulfillment to His glory. Glory!!!.

Prayer_Bead: Omniscient King, Wonderful Counselor, King of Kings, thank you for the fulfillment of your word. Thank you for giving us your Son.

For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. ( 1 John 5:4 )

The world has systems and “mountains” and many people have sold their souls to the devil to operate these systems and mountains. They exchange a permanent victory for a temporary glory. But there is another avenue to win over the world. Except that this also comes with a restriction. This avenue is limited to those who have accepted Christ as Lord over their lives. Hence, the Believer’s victory over the world is in Christ. Outside of Christ, the Believer cannot overcome the world. And this victory is tied to our faith in Christ. So that unless we are born of God, we cannot exercise that faith over the world. Everything in God is accessible through faith. Without faith, we cannot get over the wall of divide that separates the ordinary life from the supernatural life. One of which is the victorious life.

Prayer_Bead: Author and Finisher of my faith, thank you for the victory of the cross. I live in that victory for me by faith in you.

The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. ( 1 Peter 4:7 )

It seems that the apostle Peter in the verse of scripture above is drawing our attention to that last moment of the Lord when He called three of his inner cycle disciples to watch with Him. In the strength of their flesh, to the detriment of their spirits, they slept at the place of prayer. In moments afterwards they had wished they prayed. (see Matthew 26:38-40). As one who had a first hand experience of these things, the apostle is able to give advice on what is necessary in these last days. In the last days, it is difficult to pray as the experience of the disciples revealed to us from the gospels. As such there is the need to follow a strategy that can help us to pray. The apostle says we should be alert and sober minded. In their experience, they were not alert though they had been cautioned by Jesus to “watch”. We need a discerning heart to be on the watch for shifts in the atmosphere of the spirit. A sober mind understands shifts and spiritual sound codes and this helps to pray as we ought. Hearing helps the heart to be sober and our senses to be alert. May the assurance of God’s word calm us as we meditate on the word and hear from God.

Prayer_Bead: Thank you father for the grace to be sober minded and alert. Guide me to watch and pray even more earnestly in these days.
