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.

God uses the prepared

[The Glory Unveiled]

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. [ 2 Timothy 2:21 NIV ]

God does not discriminate against His children. He created us all, and He loves each of us without exception. If there is any sense of discrimination we experience, it is not from God—it is from ourselves. It is our identity that places us into different categories. God does not use anyone who does not bear His identity. This is where it would seem heaven discriminates. God uses those who purge themselves of anything that prevents them from becoming vessels of honour—sanctified, set apart, and fit for the Master’s use. In that sense, the difference between people is not favoritism; it is preparation and positioning. We therefore hold the power of choice. We decide whether our lives will be usable in the hands of God or not. God will use anyone who positions themselves to become a channel of His life. When we accept the identity of His Son and deliberately let go of our old identity, we make ourselves available for divine use. As we rid ourselves of what is not of God, we begin to look like God. And when we look like Him, we reflect Him. At that point, God does not need to announce that we are His—our lives will testify for us. People will recognize His nation because His nature is visible in us. Our responsibility, therefore, is to intentionally work on ourselves, to align our lives with His nature, so that it never appears as though God is discriminating against us. The truth is simple: God is always willing to use us, but He will only use what looks like Him.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for showing me what to do to be used for good works. 

Wisdom_Quote: God will only use what looks like Him. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy upon me and save me.

The cost of ignorance 

[The Glory Unveiled]

“His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? [ Matthew 25:26 NIV ]

The cost of ignorance is not merely high—it is immeasurable, deeply regrettable, and spiritually bankrupting. Ignorance does not always announce itself as rebellion; sometimes it comes clothed in sincerity. Yet its consequences are just as severe. In the parable of the talents, the servant who received one talent did not lose everything because he lacked opportunity, but because he lacked understanding. He was ignorant of the true nature of his master. Convinced that his master was harsh and exploitative—one who reaped where he did not sow—he acted on a false conclusion. What he believed to be a reasonable fear was, in reality, a fatal misjudgment. That ignorance cost him his gift, his position, and ultimately his life. What makes his failure even more tragic is that his distorted view of the master blinded him from thinking creatively or responsibly. His heart was so occupied with fault-finding that he could not see a wiser response. Ironically, the master himself later revealed what the servant should have done—at the very least, he could have invested the money and returned it with interest. But ignorance had already paralyzed initiative and buried potential. In the kingdom of God, ignorance is not an exemption from accountability. This is why knowledge is not optional; it is essential. Scripture warns us plainly that God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. When we neglect our responsibilities under the excuse of ignorance, the consequences do not disappear. Obligation remains, judgment remains, and loss remains. Ignorance may feel harmless, but in the kingdom, it is costly.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for showing me not to lean on ignorance in my walk with you.

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.

The Lean Diet of Christ

[ The Glory Unveiled ]

But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” [ Matthew 4:4 NIV ]

Daniel, though exiled in Babylon, made a deliberate decision: he would live on the diet of Christ rather than the diet of the king. He was granted access to the finest food of the empire, yet he discerned that survival in Babylon required more than royal delicacies. He needed something deeper—something unseen—something the others were not privy to. So he chose restraint, faith, and obedience. And at the end of ten days, the verdict was unmistakable. The so-called “lean” diet proved superior to the rich portions of the king. Those who fed on faith appeared healthier, stronger, and better nourished than those who indulged in abundance (Daniel 1:15). By this hidden strength, Daniel did not merely survive Babylon—he lived in it as one who owned the city. This same diet sustained the Lord Jesus throughout His earthly life and ministry. When His disciples urged Him to eat in John 4:31, He replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” This is the lean diet of Christ: living on the Word of God and doing the will of God. And here is the divine paradox—those who live on this “lean” diet do not grow lean. They grow stronger. They grow fuller. They grow healthier in the deepest places of life. The lean diet of Christ addresses the real issues of life in the life of the one who commits to it. So get on that diet. Feed on Christ. Live by His Word; man shall not live by bread alone. Do His will. And watch Him sort out the issues of your life from the inside out.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to be on the diet of Christ.

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.

God’s righteousness 

[The Glory Unveiled]

“Lay aside your simple thoughts and leave your paths behind. Agree with my ways, live in my truth, and you will find righteousness.”” [ Proverbs‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭TPT‬‬ ]

In this life, whenever we want to find something more clearly and more easily, there is always one simple principle: we must leave behind whatever hinders our ability to recognize that thing. Once the obstacle is removed, clarity comes. What we seek becomes visible. For the believer, righteousness is that pursuit. It is our destination, the priceless jewel we are searching for, and ultimately the identity we are meant to discover. Yet throughout history, many have tried countless methods to attain righteousness—through effort, through striving, through their own understanding. But here, God shows us a different way. He reveals that the issue is not the absence of righteousness, but the presence of limitations—our old ways of thinking, our former paths, our own definitions of truth. The thoughts we cling to can quietly block our ability to align with God and recognize His righteousness when it stands before us. To find the righteousness of God, we must first agree with God. We must accept His ways and live within His truth. Because unless we agree with His ways, we cannot recognize His truth—and it is His truth that opens the door to righteousness. This is why we are called to leave our own ways behind. Not to improve them, but to surrender them. To follow God’s ways is to step into His truth. And once we are living in His truth, righteousness is no longer something we chase. It is no longer something we strive to attain. It becomes our natural life.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to live as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

A time to sow

[The Glory Unveiled]

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [ Galatians 6:7 KJV ]

We must be careful about the kind of seeds we sow, especially at the beginning of a new year or as we step into a new season. Seedtime and harvest are inseparably connected—what we sow is exactly what we will reap. Because of this, we cannot afford to sow carelessly. In due time, a harvest will come, and it will reveal the nature of the seeds we planted, whether or not we considered the outcome. What is planted will grow, and what grows will be reaped. So let us not be deceived: whatever a person sows, that is what they will reap in due season. No one sows weeds and expects wheat. No one plants rice and anticipates grass. This is a principle God embedded into His creation, and because it comes from Him, it cannot be mocked or bypassed. What God put in place is what we experience. No one can truthfully say they sowed one thing and reaped another. This is why the man with one talent, who refused to invest it, received nothing more in return. He harvested exactly what he sowed. After many years, all he had to show was what he originally buried. The harvest simply revealed the seed. So choose your seeds carefully, because the ground is faithful, time is relentless, and the harvest is inevitable.

Prayer_Bead: Incredible God, thank you for your order. As I sow faithfully, I appreciate you for the bountiful harvest. 

Wisdom_Quote: What a man sows is what they reap.

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.
