Where are you?

[The Glory Unveiled]

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. [ Colossians 3:5 NKJV ]

The Word of God not only assures us of what God will do, but also entreats us concerning what we must do. In the scripture above, we are commanded to “put to death” certain things. That instruction unveils a profound truth about the human soul: though we are seated with Christ in heavenly places, some of our members still seek expression in earthly things. This is why Scripture charges us to set our minds on things above—where Christ is, and where we are positioned in Him. Our meditation must align with our location. If we are seated with Christ in heavenly places, then our conduct, desires, appetites, and pursuits must reflect heaven’s nature. It is an error to claim a heavenly position while permitting our members to serve earthly passions. The “earthly members” Scripture speaks about are revealed through the works they produce: fornication, uncleanness, evil desires, inordinate affections, and covetousness. These are not merely sinful actions; they are evidences of members still yielding themselves to the earth. A man can only participate in earthly enterprises when his members remain attached to them. Therefore, the instruction is clear: mortify those members. Put to death every appetite, desire, and inclination that wars against your position in Christ. Whatever dishonours your sacred location in God must not be allowed to live through you. The body will always express the life of its location. If our life is hidden with Christ in God, then our members must reveal Christ and not the corruption of the earth. We must remain in Christ until heaven becomes visible in our thoughts, desires, speech, and conduct.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to walk and live from heaven. Let my members remain where I am, in heaven. 

Wisdom_Quote: The body expresses the life of its location. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for the sacrifice that brought me salvation. I accept the right to be your Child.

Sold out lives

[The Glory Unveiled]

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. [ Philippians 1:21 KJV ]

When a person accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, they die to their old life. Their ambitions, desires, identity, and ownership of self are surrendered at the cross. From that moment onward, if they are to live at all, they can only live the life of Christ. The believer no longer possesses a life of their own. They live a borrowed life — the very life of Jesus expressed through them. This is why a Christian cannot live carelessly or according to personal pleasure, because the life they now carry does not belong to them. This is the meaning behind Paul’s declaration: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” To live is Christ means that Paul himself had died. His will, his pride, and his self-life had been crucified. Therefore, the only life visible in him was the life of Christ being manifested through him. Paul was no longer merely living for Christ; Christ Himself was living through Paul. And then he says, “to die is gain.” Death is gain to the believer because beyond the veil of death lies eternal life with Christ. For the man or woman in Christ, death is not destruction; it is transition. It is the doorway into everlasting fellowship with the One they have lived for on earth. Therefore, as we journey through this life, let us live for Jesus with full understanding that we no longer belong to ourselves. Our words, choices, sacrifices, and conduct must reflect the life of Christ within us. And when obedience demands painful sacrifices, we endure them with confidence, knowing that every surrender made for Christ is working together for our eternal good.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to live again after I died with you by faith. Help me to live your life as you would want me to live it. 

Wisdom_Quote: To live again after death is by Christ. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for the saving my life through your sacrifice. I accept your life and I surrender mine.

The word of God 

[The Glory Unveiled]

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD,“And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? [ Jeremiah 23:29 NKJV ]

The Word of God reveals itself in different ways and under different circumstances. Scripture uses various images to help us understand its nature and power. One of those images is fire. Through every attribute used to describe the Word, God unveils a distinct aspect of its character and operation. Therefore, when the Bible says that the Word of God is like fire, it is revealing to us something of its fiery nature and effect. In reality, fire derives its significance from the One who created it, and the Word gives meaning to the characteristics we observe in fire. Yet from our human perspective, it is easier to understand the comparison in reverse. Just as fire burns, consumes, purifies, and clears away what is unwanted, so does the Word of God. The Word burns away the impurities that cling to our hearts. Like a refiner’s fire, it purges the dross from our lives, producing purity, holiness, and deeper devotion to God. It not only cleanses us but also ignites us, setting our hearts ablaze with passion for the Lord and zeal for His purposes. But the Word is not only like fire; it is also like a hammer. The same Word that refines is the Word that breaks. A hammer is designed to shatter what resists and crush what stands firm. When a hammer strikes a rock, the rock gives way. Likewise, when the Word of God is brought to bear upon stubborn obstacles, hardened hearts, impossible situations, and satanic strongholds, it breaks their power. When God’s Word confronts the enemy, it crushes his schemes and secures for us the victory that is ours in Christ. No challenge is too hard, no resistance too strong, and no mountain too immovable for the Word of the living God. Therefore, if there is a situation in your life that seems determined to defy every effort and resist every solution, perhaps it is time to introduce the hammer of God’s Word. What fire cannot refine, the hammer can break. The Word of God purifies what is corrupt, and it shatters what stands in opposition to the will of God. The Word refines, and the Word breaks.

Prayer_Bead: Heavenly Father, thank you for the privilege to experience the word of God that is like hammer and fire. 

Wisdom_Quote: The word of God breaks what fire cannot refine. 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, I invite you into my heart to be my Lord and Saviour. Save me from the power of sin and death.

Fatal flaw 

[The Glory Unveiled]

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. [ James 2:10 KJV ]

The Law of Moses was impossible for man to keep for many reasons, but chief among them is this: one fatal flaw can nullify every previous effort. Under the law, a single offense overshadows a lifetime of obedience. One failure is enough to render every other attempt insufficient. The law is like a chain. It does not matter how strong the individual links are; if just one link breaks, the entire chain is broken. In the same way, the Law of Moses functions as a single unit. To break one command is to become guilty of violating the whole system. This is why James cautions us against placing our confidence in the law. Anyone who seeks to be justified by the law is obligated to keep all of it perfectly. The problem is that one offense is enough to condemn, no matter how many commands have been faithfully observed. One mistake can undo years of effort. Therefore, the law leaves no room for boasting in human ability, because no one can maintain perfect obedience before God. But God, in His mercy, provided a better way. Rather than trusting in our ability to fulfill every requirement of the law, we are invited to trust in Jesus, who fulfilled it perfectly on our behalf. Through faith in Him, His righteousness is credited to us. What we could never accomplish through our own efforts, Christ accomplished through His obedience. Therefore, when Jesus fulfilled all righteousness, we also fulfilled the righteous requirements of the law in Him. His victory became our victory. His obedience became our obedience. His righteousness became our righteousness. 

Hallelujah! 

Embrace Jesus today. Receive His gift of righteousness by faith, and walk in the fullness of the blessings that belong to those who are made righteous in Him.

Prayer_Bead: Father in heaven, thank you for the privilege I have in your Son to keep all the law in love. 

Wisdom_Quote: One mistake can undo years of effort.

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, I have struggled to keep the law by myself to no avail. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour today, be my righteousness and my guide.

Do what Nicodemus did. 

[The Glory Unveiled]

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [ John 3:7 KJV ]

Many people assume that simply being around the supernatural makes them supernatural. Others think that because they are around the church, they automatically belong to the church. Nicodemus found himself in a similar position. He was a teacher of the law, well acquainted with the Torah, the synagogue, and its religious practices. When he came to Jesus at night because of the emptiness in his spiritual life, he likely expected an answer rooted in familiar territory—more scriptural quotations, religious rituals, or spiritual activities. Instead, Jesus gave him an unexpected response: “You must be born again.” Nicodemus was astonished by this statement, but Jesus told him not to marvel at it. Being born again was not the answer he was expecting. He was looking for something familiar, yet Jesus revealed that the true entry point into the life and kingdom he desired was not more religion, but regeneration. It may have sounded absurd to Nicodemus, but it was the only solution that could produce the result he longed for. The same truth remains today. Do not be surprised by what God requires of you. You may have been around church all your life. You may know the Scriptures, participate in religious activities, and be familiar with Christian practices. But if your life is not yet under the lordship of Jesus Christ, then your need is the same as Nicodemus’s. You must be born again. You must surrender your life to Jesus Christ and yield yourself to the Spirit of God. Being near the things of God is not the same as belonging to God. The doorway into the life God offers is not mere association with Christianity, but a genuine new birth through faith in Christ.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the privilege to understand your word to me today. Help me to obey it. 

Wisdom_Quote: The solution you need for your peace might be unexpected. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, I accept you into my life today. Save me and be my  Lord. Deliver me from the power of sin and cloth me with your righteousness.

One in Christ 

[The Glory Unveiled]

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [ Galatians 3:28 KJV ]

In the beginning, God made humanity as one man. At that point, “man” was not merely a gender but a state of being—a shared identity and nature. Even after God distinguished humanity into male and female, they still remained one in essence and purpose. Unfortunately, sin distorted this reality. The fallen nature created the illusion of separation, making it seem as though humanity had become divided into different and disconnected groups. But that was never God’s intention. Though distinct in function, they were never meant to be separate in identity before Him. This same pattern is revealed in the new creation. In Christ, there is no room for discriminatory divisions or classifications. There are no factions, superior groups, or inferior groups. Through the finished work of Christ, the wall of partition has been broken down, and all who believe have been brought into one family, standing together before the Father and beholding His glory. Yet this truth is not merely something to know; it is something we must firmly hold on to. We must stand firm in the reality of our oneness in Christ so that the enemy does not deceive us into thinking that we are inferior, excluded, or separated because of any physical, social, or earthly distinction. The devil thrives on division, but God operates through unity. Every truth in Scripture becomes an experienced reality when it is believed from a place of understanding. The Word declares that we are one in Christ. Jesus Himself said that He and the Father are one. He also prayed that we would be one in Him just as He is one with the Father. This is not merely a poetic statement; it is a spiritual reality. Just as Jesus expressed His oneness with the Father in His words, works, power, and glory, we too are called to express our oneness with Him. As we embrace this truth, we begin to walk together in the fullness of His life, manifesting His power, reflecting His glory, and revealing His nature to the world.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for bringing us into a common union in Christ. 

Wisdom_Quote: The wall of partition is broken in Christ Jesus. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for going to the cross for my sake. I accept your sacrifice and welcome you into my life as Saviour and Lord. Thank you for bringing me into your family. Amen

Choose a side 

[The Glory Unveiled]

Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. [ Galatians 5:2 NIV ]

There is something remarkable about the law and those who place themselves under it. The moment a person submits to one aspect of the law for justification, they become obligated to all of it. This is why the apostle Paul speaks so strongly and urges believers to take his words seriously. He says that if anyone lets himself be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to him. Paul’s point is not merely about circumcision itself. Circumcision represented a return to the system of the law. The moment a person seeks acceptance before God through one requirement of the law, he places himself under the obligation of the entire law. As Paul explains in verse 3, anyone who allows himself to be circumcised is bound to obey the whole law. The law is not a menu from which a person can select preferred commands and ignore the rest. It comes as a complete package. Even more devastating is the consequence of turning back to the way of the old covenant. Paul declares that anyone who seeks justification through the law has become alienated from Christ. In other words, a person cannot rely on Christ and simultaneously rely on the law for righteousness. The two systems stand in opposition to one another. Grace says, “Christ has done it for you.” The law says, “You must do it yourself.” This is why we cannot afford to compromise with the law if we have truly submitted to Christ and placed our faith in His finished work. We cannot claim to belong to Jesus while seeking our justification through our own efforts and performance. Anyone who attempts to do so will eventually discover that Christ is of no value to them—not because Christ has lost His power, but because they have chosen another basis for their righteousness. Christ remains Lord, Saviour, and all-sufficient. Yet we can only experience the full value of His saving work when we trust exclusively in Him and in what He has accomplished on our behalf. The blessings of grace are enjoyed by those who rest in Christ alone. The question, then, is this: Have you submitted exclusively to Jesus, or are you still looking to your own works for what only His grace can provide?

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for showing me to submit to you alone and not seek justification from the law I could not keep. 

Wisdom_Quote: The blessings of grace are enjoyed by those who rest in Christ alone

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for saving my soul from damnation through your sacrifice. I surrender to you today and everyday of my life. Be my Saviour and Lord.

Place your order

[The Glory Unveiled]

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. [ Matthew 8:13 NKJV ]

A centurion once came to Jesus concerning his servant who was lying at home, paralyzed and suffering greatly. When Jesus offered to come and heal him, the centurion explained that it was not necessary for Jesus to visit his house. Instead, he believed that Jesus only needed to speak a word, and his servant would be healed. Jesus was amazed at his faith. But what exactly did the centurion do to demonstrate such faith? In reality, he did nothing outwardly. Jesus recognized his faith through his understanding. Jesus saw the depth of the centurion’s belief through the revelation he had concerning the authority and power of God at work in Him. Jesus’ response also reveals an important truth: faith delivers only what belief orders. The centurion believed that Jesus had the authority to send healing to his servant without being physically present. That belief placed an order, and Jesus confirmed it by declaring that it would be done according to what the centurion had believed. True to the order that had been placed, the servant was healed that very hour. The manifestation we see after an act of faith often reveals the true nature of our belief. This is because faith does not produce results at random; it follows the instructions given by our beliefs and convictions. Therefore, if a response or manifestation is expected through faith but nothing is delivered, it may be that belief has not yet placed a clear order. Let your belief, firmly rooted in the ability, authority, and power of Jesus, place the order for the things you expect from God. As your understanding of who He is grows, your faith will have substance, direction, and confidence to receive what He has promised.

Prayer_Bead: Father in heaven, thank you for the privilege you have given me through your Son to have my needs met in faith. 

Wisdom_Quote: Faith delivers only what belief orders 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, I surrender to you in faith. And I ask that you rule and reign in my life from henceforth. Thank you for writing my name in the book of life.

The Mental attitude of Jesus

[The Glory Unveiled]

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. [ Romans 15:5-6 NIV ]

Christ Jesus is our true example in everything. Essentially, everything the Lord Jesus did on earth flowed from His mental attitude. His mindset was like an encoding within His behaviour that directed His actions and words. The Scripture above says that we should have the same attitude toward one another through the endurance and encouragement that come from God. It also says that by this attitude we can be of the same mind and voice in glorifying God. This means that true oneness in the body of Christ can only come from possessing the mindset of Jesus. When we bring our minds into a condition where we see things as Jesus sees them, we will begin to act as Jesus acted. However, the defining characteristic of the mind of Christ is humility. The mindset of Jesus is framed in humility, and this is how He was able to remain one with the Father while on earth, speaking with the Father’s voice and bringing Him glory. Although the Lord Jesus was co-equal with the Father, He did not treat it as something to grasp for selfish independence or self-exaltation. Instead, He submitted Himself to the Father so that He could remain fully aligned with Him. This shows us that without humility and submission to one another in love, true unity is impossible. We can also understand from this why some marriages become chaotic. Even though husband and wife are meant to be one, many couples lack true unity because the mindset that produces oneness is absent. True oneness comes through humility and submission, yet these are the very things many couples are unwilling to give to one another. The mindset of Jesus is anchored in humility, and we will do well to embrace that same mindset in love.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for showing me how to be one with others and with you. Help me to humble myself and submit to you. 

Wisdom_Quote: Without humility, true unity is impossible.

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for humbly going to the cross for my sake. I accept your sacrifice and welcome you into my life as Saviour and Lord. Thank you for saving me.

The Believer’s Guide 

[The Glory Unveiled]

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” [ Genesis 2:16-17 NKJV ]

Adam and Eve were given a guide to help them live successfully in the Garden. The Garden of Eden was more than a location; it was the environment of God — a realm where His presence was accessible, His voice was clear, and fellowship with Him was unhindered. Yet even in such an environment, God established boundaries and gave instruction. He told Adam, “Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat.” The command was not meant to restrict life, but to preserve it, because that tree carried death within it. That is why God warned, “In the day you eat of it, you shall surely die.” This reveals something important: even in the environment of God, death existed, but it had no power unless man activated it through disobedience. In the same way, the believer has now been brought into a greater reality through Christ. We have access to the life of God, fellowship with the Father, and communion with Heaven. Yet we still require a guide, just as Adam did. The difference is that our Guide is not merely a command but a Person — the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Love. Love is the guide, and the Holy Spirit is the Person who leads us in it. He teaches us continually, leads us into all truth, and guards us from the deception of the enemy, just as Adam needed protection from the serpent’s subtlety. But now the instruction is not simply, “Do not eat.” The instruction is deeper and higher: “Love.” The life of the believer is meant to be governed by divine love. Every leading of the Spirit brings us into the character of Christ and keeps us aligned with the life of God. As long as we walk according to the Spirit, we walk in life, truth, and safety. Let us therefore submit ourselves to the Guide God has given us. Let us live by the Spirit, walk in love, and daily express the nature of the Father to the world around us.. 

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for your living guide for my life. Help me to walk in obedience to Him. 

Wisdom_Quote: Every leading of the Spirit brings us into the character of Christ

Salvation Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for taking my place in judgement so that I can be forgiven. I accept your lordship, have mercy upon me and save me.
