Remember Egypt. 

[The Glory Unveiled]

Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and follow carefully these decrees. [ Deuteronomy 16:12 NIV ]

One of the most critical keys to growth and lasting progress is the discipline of remembrance. We often forget too quickly where God has brought us from, and that forgetfulness comes at a great cost. When memory fades, momentum is lost. Many people find themselves trapped in a painful cycle of despair and frustration, repeatedly returning to old places and patterns, not because deliverance failed, but because remembrance did. When we lose sight of where we came from, we slowly drift back toward it. To guard His people against this danger, God commanded the Israelites—and by extension, He instructs us—to remember that they were once slaves in Egypt, a picture of our former bondage to sin. Forgetfulness causes free people to live with a slave’s mindset. When they forget their history, they begin to carry the posture, fears, and limitations of bondage into a season of freedom. This is why God insisted that they remember: not to shame them, but to anchor them in their new identity. They were no longer slaves. But remembrance alone was not enough. God also commanded them to keep His decrees. This was the surest way to prevent their souls from wandering back into captivity. In slavery, they lived under the decrees of taskmasters; in freedom, they were to live under the decrees of their God. Every life lives under a governing word—either the voice of bondage or the word of liberty. The same truth applies to us. We were once slaves to sin and its dark influence, but God set us free through the blood of His Son. The way to remain in that freedom is clear and uncompromising: remember where you have been delivered from, and submit yourself to the Word that now governs your life in the light. This is the guarantee of staying free. Do not take your redemption lightly. Guard it with obedience. Treasure it through remembrance. Become a student of the Word. Freedom is sustained by those who remember their deliverance and choose, daily, to live under the rule of God’s truth.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege of freedom. Help me to keep your decrees. In Jesus’ name. 

Wisdom_Quote: Freedom is only complete when the mind of the slave is free. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for the price you paid to free me from darkness. I embrace your love and accept this provision. Be my Lord, now and forever.

Repair your mind

[The Glory Unveiled]

Because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” [ Mark 5:28 NIV ]

When Elijah stepped into confrontation with the prophets of Baal, he did something deeply instructive—something easily missed if we read too quickly. After the prophets of Baal had exhausted themselves with rituals, noise, and desperate theatrics, the moment came for Elijah to call on his God. Scripture records it simply: “Then Elijah said to all the people, ‘Come here to me.’ They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD, which had been torn down” (1 Kings 18:30). Notice the order. Elijah did not continue from where the prophets of Baal stopped. He did not attempt to sanctify what had already failed. He did not build on a broken foundation, even though he could have argued—correctly—that God is able to do anything. Yes, God is able to do all things, but He does not do everything. His power does not bypass His order. Before Elijah called for fire, he repaired the altar. Before heaven responded, the foundation was restored. God does not pour new wine into old wineskins. If we want the new, we must release the old. If we desire fresh fire, there must be repaired altars. Growth often demands that we outgrow what once carried us. This principle appears again in the woman with the issue of blood. While others saw only the humanity of Jesus, she discerned His divinity. When her condition should have trained her to accept permanence, she chose faith instead. She said within herself, “If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed.” And she believed it. And precisely what she believed, she received. Your expectation is not too much for God. But it may require a renewed mind. It may require repairs on the altar of your thinking. Before you ask for fire, pause. Let God renew your perspective. Repair what has been broken in your understanding and then call on Him.

Prayer_Bead: Father in Heaven, thank you for showing me this timeless truth. Help me to have my mind renewed in your word. 

Wisdom_Quote: The man goes where his mind went. In other words, you’re the shadow of your mind.

The desire of God

[The Glory Unveiled]

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit —fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.[ John 15:16 NIV ]

Whenever God calls a person, He rarely calls the one who already looks the part. Throughout Scripture, those summoned by God almost always recoil at the assignment because they are keenly aware of their inadequacies. They see their weakness before they ever see God’s power. Yet once God calls a person to Himself, that person becomes another man. The call is not merely to a task; it is to transformation. God’s investment in us is never casual. It is purposeful and productive. God does not delight in wasted investments. Whatever He deposits into a life, He fully intends that it should bear fruit. His desire is always multiplication and transformation. And in calling us, He invites us into that same divine agenda. Jesus consistently calls people in a state of fruitlessness, not because He is satisfied with it, but because He intends to change it. He draws us near, reshapes us through relationship, and then sends us out to bear fruit that lasts. Consider the disciples. When Jesus met them, they were occupied, even busy, but not truly impactful. Their lives carried motion, but not transformation. It was only after they had been with Jesus that their lives took on eternal significance. Peter, who once shrank back before a handful of people, later stood boldly before thousands to defend the gospel. A tax collector, defined by dishonesty, was transformed into a man of integrity. These were not self-made changes; they were the fruit of divine calling and divine empowerment. God chooses us for His assignment, and He is far more capable of equipping us for it than we are of disqualifying ourselves from it. Our responsibility, then, is not self-reliance but absolute dependence. When God calls, He also supplies. And when we remain with Him, His investment in us will surely produce fruit.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for calling me to be with you so that you might send me to represent you. I am grateful. 

Wisdom_Quote: The call of God is purposeful and productive. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, I surrender to your Lordship. Reign in my heart today and forever.

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.

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.

Don’t forget Jesus

[The Glory Unveiled]

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”[ Mark 8:19 NIV ]

Whenever we read or hear that five loaves of bread and two fishes fed five thousand men—excluding women and children because they could not be counted—we must remember that such a miracle never happens in isolation. Miracles are often told as stories of outcomes, while the Miracle Worker is quietly left out. But no matter the size or nature of a miracle, one constant remains: the Miracle Worker can never be ignored. Five loaves and two fishes, by themselves, are not enough to feed five thousand men. Without Jesus, they are simply lunch. It is His presence that turns scarcity into abundance. We must never leave out Jesus. The reason many people are not seeing or experiencing miracles is not because miracles have ceased, but because they want the miracle apart from the Miracle Worker. And that can never happen. Jesus is not an add-on to the miracle—He is the miracle package Himself. Nothing multiplies without the Multiplier. So while many chase signs, wonders, and supernatural outcomes, wisdom teaches us to seek the One who produces them. Find the Miracle Worker, not just the miracle. Look for Jesus, for He is the miracle within the miracle. Do not forget Him in your pursuit of what He gives, because without Him, what you seek does not—and cannot—exist.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to see you as my Miracle. 

Wisdom_Quote: Jesus is the Miracle in every miracle.

God knows you

[The Glory Unveiled]

But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. [ 1 Corinthians 8:3 NIV ]

Loving God brings you into the light of God. To love Him is to step out of hiding; it is to live openly before His face. You cannot genuinely love God and still remain concealed from Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s holy command, their first instinct was to hide. Sin made them afraid of being seen, of being known. Disobedience always drives us into the shadows. But love does the opposite. Jesus tells us plainly: “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Love invites obedience, and obedience keeps us exposed before God—seen, known, and covered by Him. The opposite is also true. Persistent disobedience is not just rebellion; it is a declaration of lovelessness. That is why Jesus warns that a day will come when He will say, “Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity; I do not know you.” It is not that He lacked information about them, but that they lived outside the covenant of love and obedience. To be “unknown” by God is to be without His defense, His advocacy, and His covering. But when we love God, something powerful happens. Our love draws out His jealous love toward us—His fierce protection, His guidance, His intimate involvement in our lives. Love keeps us within the boundaries of His care. And loving God does something else: it exposes you to you. In loving Him, God begins to unveil who He truly made you to be. He searches the depths of your heart and reveals hidden things—wounds, callings, gifts, and truths you never knew were there. He shows you yourself, not to condemn you, but to restore and align you with His purpose. So the question is: Do you love God? And if you do, is that love evident in your obedience to His Word?

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the grace you made available for me to love you.

Cornelius

[The Glory Unveiled] 

And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” [ Acts 10:22 NIV ]

Cornelius is one of the most compelling figures in the New Testament, not because of a single dramatic moment, but because of a long, quiet history of faithfulness. What we often miss is that what he is remembered for did not happen overnight. It was the fruit of days—perhaps years—of consistent almsgiving and reverent living. He did not give to win applause or earn a reputation. He did not give to provoke a response or secure a reward. He did not even give because he was a Christian trying to fulfill a religious obligation. In fact, when his alms ascended to heaven as a memorial before God, Cornelius was not a Christian at all. He was a Gentile—outside the covenant, beyond the promises, with no claim to privilege. Yet his faithfulness moved heaven.

Those quiet, unseen acts triggered what we might call divine protocol. Angels were dispatched to his house. Men were repositioned on the earth in his favor. What Cornelius did in secret, God honored openly. He received VIP treatment from heaven, not because of a title he carried, but because of the purity of the conscience from which he lived. This is the power of integrity before God. When we act from the sincere conscience God has placed within us—without manipulation, without ulterior motive—we attract the help of God. And once His help comes, His Spirit leads us forward, empowering our actions and expanding our influence. What begins as simple obedience becomes a doorway into divine intervention.

New year or new life?

[The Glory Unveiled]

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. [ 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV ]

New years are often marked by celebrations, declarations, and resolutions. We cross over at midnight and assume that because the calendar has changed, life has changed too. But the truth is this: life does not become new simply because we entered a new year and wished the old one away.Newness does not work like that. The kind of newness that unlocks every other new beginning is not seasonal—it is positional. It does not come by wishes, affirmations, or desire alone. It comes by conscious choice. When a person chooses Jesus—when they believe in His finished work and stand in the provision secured by that work—then, and only then, the old truly passes away and the new comes to stay. Scripture declares that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. This new creation is not a metaphor; it is a spiritual reality. In Christ, we are recreated after His image, and the very life of Jesus is expressed through the man or woman who comes into Him. The old does not pass away because we crossed into a new year. It passes away because we are positioned in Christ. Without Christ, a new year is only a new date—not a new life. You may enter January 1st, but if you are not in Christ, you have not entered newness. Jesus is the mechanic of newness. He alone has the power to replace the old with the new. Welcome Him into your life, stand in what He has finished, and you will experience a newness that no calendar change can produce—and no season can take away.

Prayer_Bead: Lord Jesus, thank you for your life in me that has made me a new creation and 

Wisdom_Quote: Newness does not happen because you entered a new year but because you entered Christ.

Think over it. 

[The Glory Unveiled]

Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. [ 2 Timothy 2:7 NIV ]

“He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 13:9.
Jesus did not say this because sound was the problem. He said it because understanding was. Many would hear His words, but few would grasp their meaning. And it is on this foundation that Jesus introduces the parable of the sower in Matthew 13. Like all parables, it carries truth beneath the surface. Jesus Himself made it clear that parables conceal truth from outsiders, but to His disciples, the meaning is given. After telling the parable, Jesus carefully explains it. He tells us what the seed is—the Word of God—and what each kind of soil represents. When He explains the seed that fell along the path, He says these are people who hear the Word but do not understand it. Because there is no understanding, the enemy comes immediately and snatches the Word away. Notice the emphasis of Jesus: understanding. Then He speaks of the good soil. These are the people who hear the Word and understand it. That one difference—understanding—is what causes them to bear fruit. Not excitement. Not mere hearing. Not proximity to truth. Understanding! Fruitfulness begins where understanding begins. This is why the apostle Paul tells Timothy, “Think over what I say, and the Lord will give you understanding.” (2 Timothy 2:7). Understanding is given by the Lord, but it is invited by thinking. Revelation is God’s gift, but meditation is our responsibility. Jesus’ parable makes it clear: lasting fruit does not come from hearing alone. It comes from heard truth that has been understood. And understanding does not fall on a distracted mind. It is cultivated. So this word is for every believer who desires fruit that remains: do not rush past the Word. Do not treat Scripture as background noise. Think over what you read. Ponder what you hear. Stay with it. Wrestle with it. And as you do, the Holy Spirit will grant understanding. Don’t just hear the Word—think over it. Understanding will come. And where understanding lives, fruit will surely follow.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for showing me what to do so that the word of God will be productive in my life.
