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. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today. Guide me into looking like you.

The truth that sets free

[The Glory Unveiled]

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” [ John 8:32 NIV ]

This passage of Scripture is frequently quoted whenever we speak about freedom or emphasize the power of truth. Yet, what is often overlooked is how the verse actually begins: “Then you will know…”That single word, then, signals that this promise is not isolated. It is the result of something already established. It points us backward to what Jesus had just said. To grasp the full weight of this promise, we must begin with verse 31. There, Scripture tells us that Jesus spoke to the Jews who had believed Him and said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.” This makes it unmistakably clear: the freedom proclaimed in the next verse is not a generic offer to all listeners, but a promise directed to believers—those who have placed their faith in Him. But Jesus does not stop there. He adds a defining condition. Belief alone is not the endpoint; allegiance is required. “If you hold to my teaching,” He says, then you will know the truth, and that truth will set you free. Freedom flows from faith that is anchored in obedience. It is in our commitment to the Word of God—our perseverance in His teaching—that we come to know the truth experientially, not merely intellectually. Therefore, before we boldly declare that “the truth shall set you free,” we must ask a more searching question: is the one seeking freedom living in submission to the truth? For the truth does not liberate spectators; it frees practitioners.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for the blessing of your word to me. Help me to hold on to your every word. In Jesus name. 

Wisdom_Quote: Not every truth sets free, it is the truth you hold unto that sets free 

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, I have come to know your truth and to believe in it. I recognize that I am a sinner, have mercy upon me and save me.

Talk to Jesus

[The Glory Unveiled]

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” [ Mark 10:47 NIV ]

How often we burden ourselves with unnecessary suffering, stress, and pain. We carry weights that were never assigned to us, simply because we refuse to talk to Jesus. Many of our struggles persist not because they are unsolvable, but because they are unspoken. There was a moment when the disciples were with Jesus at sea, and suddenly a violent storm arose. Jesus, however, was asleep in the lower part of the boat. Before they cried out to Him, the disciples attempted to manage the crisis on their own. After all, most of them were seasoned fishermen. They relied on experience, skill, and strength—but all of it proved fruitless. Only when they were exhausted and overwhelmed did they call out to Jesus, saying, “Do You not care that we are perishing?” Jesus arose, spoke to the wind, and instantly there was calm. One word from Him succeeded where all their effort failed. Imagine how much distress they could have spared themselves if they had spoken to Jesus sooner. Consider also the man known as Blind Bartimaeus. He had lived in darkness for many years. One day, he heard that Jesus was passing by. This was not a moment to be silent. He cried out to Jesus with urgency and faith. Even when the crowd tried to silence him, he refused to be stopped. He spoke directly to Jesus and made his request known. Immediately, his eyes were opened, and he began to see. What he had lacked for years came in a moment because he seized the opportunity to talk to Jesus. How many answers are delayed because we remain silent? Jesus told His disciples, “Until now you have asked nothing in My name.” Then He invited them to ask, promising that their joy would be full. Yet too often, we exhaust ourselves striving, struggling, and attempting to fix what only God can resolve. Stop carrying burdens that conversation with Jesus can remove. Stop wrestling with storms that one word from Him can calm. Speak to Jesus. Ask. Cry out. Your breakthrough may not require more effort—only more prayer.

Prayer_Bead: Heavenly Father, thank you for the provisions you have made for me in Christ Jesus. 

Wisdom_Quote: It is unwise exhausting yourself to fix what only God can fix. 

Salvation Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for the provision you have made for my salvation through your sacrifice on my behalf. I accept you as my Saviour and Lord.

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. 

Wisdom_Quote: The commonwealth of heaven has no limits

Salvation Prayer: Lord Jesus, save me from every form of spiritual bankruptcy and give me your eternal life.

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. 

Wisdom_Quote: Ignorance is a brilliant leader of destruction.

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. 

Wisdom_Quote: Disobedience drives us into the shadows, love for God drives us into the light.

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.  

Wisdom_Quote: The lean diet of Christ cures leanness.

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.
