When God is on your side.

[The Glory Unveiled]

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? [ Romans 8:31 KJV ]

It often seems, at first glance, that so much in this world stands against the man or woman who chooses to walk with God. Yet the one who truly walks with Him can rest in this unshakeable assurance: if God is for you, nothing is against you. Anything that dares to rise against you must first rise against the God who walks beside you and that, it cannot do. God is intentional about His people. He has made deliberate plans, rich provisions, and divine arrangements for our success, our comfort, and our protection. And to anchor our confidence in Him, He even allows certain challenges, not to break us, but to prove to us that if God is with us, nothing—absolutely nothing—can stand against us. But the opposite is also true: when God Himself stands against a man or a woman, then all of life seems to rise up in opposition. Yet for those who have God on their side, the story is different. You may pass through storms, but they will not sweep you away. You may face threats, but they cannot cut your life short. Every trial has an expiration date, because God is with you in the midst of it. Just as He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the furnace—not keeping them from the fire, but keeping the fire from them—so He will be with you. The flames may roar, but they will not consume you. The heat may rise, but it will not harm you. For when God is for you, nothing can prevail against you.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for being for me in all things. 

Wisdom_Quote: If God is for you, the world can be against you and it wouldn’t matter.

Unpredictable God.

[The Glory Unveiled] 

For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. [ 2 Kings 3:17 KJV ]

We live in a world that has become very predictable. You can tell what the weather will be before you step out the door. You can almost guess the ads that will appear on your social media feed. You even know the breakfast options waiting for you at the cafeteria. Little by little, our minds have been trained to anticipate outcomes with impressive precision. With enough data, we can sketch not only tomorrow, but decades into the future. These predictions come easily because the world leaves clues—patterns, signs, trends. And with the rise of endless analytics, we have learned to read these signs so well that we often trust them more than anything else. But here lies the danger: an overreliance on what is predictable can slowly numb our faith in the God who is not bound by prediction. When we already know the weather forecast, we forget to thank the God who commands the rain. When miracles occur, we quickly search for explanations—scientific, psychological, statistical—anything that keeps us from acknowledging that God Himself stepped in. We begin to treat the supernatural as ordinary, and the hand of God as coincidence. But in our anchor text, God confronts this tendency. He declares that He will move in ways that defy signs, break patterns, and silence predictions. He says, “You shall not see wind, and you shall not see rain; yet the valley shall be filled with water.” In other words, I will give the result without the usual clues. I will bring the outcome without the indicators you depend on. Why? So that we may know that He alone is God. So that no forecaster, no algorithm, no data pattern, no human reasoning can take His glory. When God decides to act, He does what only He can do—and He does it in a way that leaves no doubt who is truly sovereign. May our faith rise above what is predictable, and fix itself on the God who fills valleys without rain and brings breakthroughs without warning.

Prayer_Bead: Omnipotent Father, thank you for doing the things only you can do. 

Wisdom_Quote: God walks into rooms without using the door and through doors without keys.

The reign of pride 

[The Glory Unveiled]

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. [ Proverbs 11:2 NIV ]

Wisdom is never loud, never flashing for attention. It is often concealed—hidden from arrogant eyes and unreachable to impatient feet. Scripture shows us that wisdom prefers the marketplace of the simple, the quiet paths walked by those who are willing to learn. And whenever wisdom is on the move, it is humility that goes before it. When humility walks through the door, you can be certain that wisdom is following close behind. Pride, however, never travels quietly. It comes with an entourage—and disgrace sits boldly in its front row. This is the spiritual order set in life: humility ushers in wisdom, pride ushers in disgrace. So you don’t need to chase wisdom to find it, nor do you need to seek disgrace to meet it. All you must do is look for their heralds, their torchbearers. Wherever humility settles, wisdom will not be far. Wherever pride takes root, disgrace is already waiting. No one wakes up and goes searching for disgrace; they simply cling to pride, and disgrace finds them. Likewise, no one becomes wise by striving after the title “wise”—they simply walk with humility, and wisdom opens her doors to them. Understanding this divine arrangement, it becomes clear: whether we fall into the arms of disgrace or are welcomed by the gentle hands of wisdom depends on the companion we choose—pride or humility. Yet we must never forget this unchanging truth: we choose our path, but we do not get to choose its consequences.

Prayer_Bead: Omnipotent, Omniscient Father, thank you for the revelation from your word. Help me to be guided by them. 

Wisdom_Quote: Nobody goes to the market to buy disgrace.

Mary in a Martha world 

[The Glory Unveiled]

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” [ Luke 10:41-42 NIV ]

We live in a “Martha world.” A world where hearts are pulled in a thousand directions, and minds are weighed down with endless concerns. The system of this world is built in such a way that those who serve it can never truly rest, never be fully satisfied. It keeps taking and demanding, pushing people into a constant cycle of “robbing Peter to pay Paul.”So many are running—chasing dreams, juggling jobs, trying one thing after another just to find what fits. Yet no matter how much they gather, save, or store up, it always seems as though the world requires more than they can offer. And so life becomes an exhausting loop of struggle, anxiety, and quiet despair. But when Jesus visited the home of Mary and Martha, something powerful unfolded. Mary chose to sit at His feet, drinking in the words of life—the very words that answer both the needs we know and the ones we cannot even name. Martha, in her sincere desire to serve, rushed around making preparations, anxious to make Jesus and the other guests comfortable. Hospitality is good; service is good. But even good things lose their place when the Best thing is present. When Jesus steps into your home, your heart, or your situation, the highest privilege is simply to listen. Yet today, many receive rare moments of fellowship with God—precious chances to draw near—and then trivialise them, distracted by the noise of life and the demands of the world. They miss the blessing wrapped within the moment. Beloved, do not let your heart be swallowed up by worry or overwhelmed by the pressures around you. God saw every challenge you would face, every concern that would weigh on your spirit, and He permitted none of them without already providing His grace. So in a Martha world of worry and despair, choose the posture of Mary. Choose to sit. Choose to listen. Choose Jesus above the noise. Be a Mary in this Martha world.

Prayer_Bead: Mighty God, thank you for the privilege to always listen at your feet. Guide me through this Martha world to be content with you. 

Wisdom_Quote: In a world like this, you don’t need to do much, just be a Mary and listen to Jesus.

A world at will

[The Glory Unveiled ]

“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.” [ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭TPT‬ ]

In our world today, it has become far easier to imitate what already exists than to create something fresh and genuine. That is why we see so many copycats—people who would rather mimic others than walk in true authenticity. Plagiarism rises in every field, and originality is slowly becoming extinct because the path of imitation feels easier than the path of creation. But this cultural shift has a deeper spiritual consequence: it becomes harder and harder to discern the will of God for our lives as unique, divinely crafted individuals. The real problem is that, by default, we imitate whatever surrounds us because our inner programming has been shaped by the world. We mirror what we see, often without even noticing. To truly discern God’s will, that inward programming must be changed. Our minds must be transformed, not by self-effort, but by the renewing work of the Holy Spirit. We must let go of the world’s curriculum and allow the Spirit to reform our thinking through the power of God’s Word. Remember this: although you live in this world, you do not belong to it. Your lifestyle, your values, your decisions must reflect the culture of your true home—and its constitution is the Word of God. So stop imitating the patterns of this world. Instead, imitate the Word. Let your life echo heaven, not the noise around you.

Prayer_Bead: Creator of the Universe, thank you for the culture of heaven that you daily impress upon me through your word. I live as a citizen of heaven and not earth. 

Wisdom_Quote: We are a mirror reflection of our influence.

Consistent dose of God’s word.

[The Glory Unveiled]

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. [ Joshua 1:8 NIV ]

There are things we do almost without thinking—habits performed so often that they have become automatic. And then there are other things we cannot do impulsively because our minds have not been trained through repetition to respond that way. But here is the good news: the human mind can be trained to do almost anything, to a remarkable—even astonishing—degree. This is precisely why God instructed the Israelites, through Joshua, to keep His Word always on their lips and to meditate on it day and night. Imagine what would happen if God’s Word continually shaped the conversations of your mouth and the meditations of your heart. Over time, your mind would grow deeply familiar with Scripture. And when the mind becomes saturated with the Word, obedience begins to flow naturally—almost automatically.As the mind embraces the Word, the body aligns with it. Action follows meditation. And then the Scripture declares, “you will prosper and have good success.” Prosperity and success come after the mind has been flooded—again and again—with the Word of God until our lives begin to mirror what it says. So keep God’s Word on your lips—daily, intentionally, relentlessly. Let it shape your thoughts until it shapes your life.  

Prayer_Bead: Mighty God, thank you for your word that makes me prosperous and successful. Help me to meditate on it day and night. 

Wisdom_Quote: God’s word is the bait for success and prosperity.

Full of the Word

[The Glory Unveiled]

We can only give what we possess. When the clouds are full of water, they pour out rain. In the same way, the output of a life is always determined by its input. No one can give what they do not have. You cannot give a million dollars if a million dollars is not already in your possession. To give something—consistently and meaningfully—means you have it in abundance. That is why Scripture says, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Whatever flows from our lips is simply the overflow of what our hearts are carrying. If the heart is full of fear, fear comes out. If it is full of bitterness, bitterness spills over. But if it is filled with the Word of God, then truth and life will flow. We are therefore instructed to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly, so that we may teach and admonish others. You cannot teach what you do not know. You cannot impart what you have not first received. This is why we must be filled—deeply, richly, continually—with the Word of God, allowing the Holy Spirit to train, correct, and shape us from within. When the Word dwells richly in us, we become able to teach others with wisdom. We can minister through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. We can release what we carry through whatever means God gives—because we are full. So allow the Word of God to saturate your heart. Do not stifle the Spirit who teaches you. Be teachable, be open, be filled—so that from the abundance within you, life can flow to others. 

Prayer_Bead: Heavenly Father, thank you for helping me allow your word dwell richly in me. 

Wisdom_Quote: You can only give what you have.

Trust the instructor

[The Glory Unveiled]

Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud. [ John 9:6 NIV ]

Sometimes, the most extraordinary miracles come wrapped in the most ordinary, even unsuspecting actions. Scripture is full of moments where simple instructions—sometimes even ridiculous ones—unlock supernatural results. Yet, the real hinge is almost always the same: obedience. Whenever men and women in the Bible dared to obey these unusual commands, something was triggered—almost like a spiritual law set in motion. And once obedience was activated, the outcome became inevitable. In obeying, they were not just following directions; they were stepping out in faith, doing what seemed unreasonable in expectation of a result only God could produce—and He did not disappoint. Consider Jesus healing the blind man with saliva and mud. That act was not a formula. It was not the only way nor even the usual way Jesus healed the blind. He had healed others without touching mud or spitting in the dirt. This shows us something profound: the power was never in the method. The miracle was not locked inside the mud—it was unlocked by the man’s obedience. The healing was beyond the action, yet for the one being healed, the healing was hidden in obeying the instruction. And so it is with us today. God may lead us through paths that feel unusual, uncomfortable, or even strange. He may nudge us toward actions that make no sense to the natural mind. But when we respond in faith—when we trust His voice above the oddness of the instruction—we declare that we know Him, we trust Him, and we believe Him. And that faith releases results. So when God speaks, don’t stumble over the method. Don’t let the “ridiculous” distract you. Trust His voice. Obey His instruction. The miracle is always on the other side of obedience.

Prayer_Bead: Lord Jesus, thank you for the way you minister to me and lead me. Help me to obey every instruction, trusting that you are faithful. 

Wisdom_Quote: obedience is better than sacrifice

The persistence card

[The Glory Unveiled ]

“For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.” [‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭8‬ ‭TPT‬]

In telling every story of greatness, persistence is mentioned as a key component of that success. Persistence rewards with desired results. Most success stories are but the stories of how a determined individual decides not to quit until they have what they desire. Thomas Edison, wouldn’t quit until he had what he wanted, Henry Ford didn’t settle for anything less than what he envisioned, and certainly no other success story is without persistence. Nothing and nobody shuts the door in the face of persistence. The widow in Luke 18, used the persistence card on a wicked judge who attested to the fact that he does not fear God nor respect man. Such a wicked person gave the widow the justice she asked for. This is a judge who was wicked and will do whatever he wanted not what people ask him for. Yet, when the widow used the persistence card, the judge opened the door for her. Persistence says the answer is only a matter of time. If you continue consistently, you will have whatever you desire. And when you start, do not despise little beginnings. Keep at it consistently and in due time you will have whatever you desire. 

Prayer_Bead: Mighty God, thank you for the power of persistence that you have shown me. As I pursue my dreams persistently, I thank you for the desired results. 

Wisdom_Quote: The push of persistence opens every door.

Live in Love

[The Glory Unveiled]

Do everything in love. [ 1 Corinthians 16:14 NIV ]

The apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 13 speaks at length about Love. He describes it as being enduring, patient, kind, does not envy, is not arrogant. He also says love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. He explains that having everything without love is a waste. And then in the last verse of that chapter, he says faith, hope and love abide, but love is the greatest. That is such a strong statement to make for a conclusion. In a world where everyone is after their our gains, the subject of love becomes less popular by the day.  Yet, as believers, we are called into a life of love. Our anchor text says we should do everything in love. This means love must become our ecosystem, the environment in which we live, move and grow. To do everything in love means we cannot do anything outside love. This means our life and living must be dictated by the voice of love. Love’s principles must be our walking aide, to guide and direct us in the right course of action in every situation. To do everything in love also means to live, guided by the guidelines in 1 Corinthians 13; doing everything as Christ would, for the benefit of others, to the glory of God. 

Prayer_Bead: Lord Jesus, thank you for demonstrating with your life what love is. Help me to do everything in love as you did. 

Wisdom_Quote: Love is the believer’s ecosystem.
