[The Glory Unveiled]

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” ( Luke 11:28. )

This dispensation calls for intentionality with God. God is seeking those who will be doers of His word rather than hearers only. This is why God said that He will put His spirit in them and write His laws on their hearts. God desires more than lip service. We are called into fellowship with Him so that we can know the ways of the spirit and live as such by the drawing of the spirit of God. It is to this end that Christ went to the cross for us. God, through Jesus, has paved the way for us to receive God into our hearts and then we can live as children of God. When we hear the word of God, faith is birthed in us. This faith becomes the central administrative region from where God deals with us. God loves all humans because we are his image but God will only entrust responsibilities and assignments to those who have had dealings with the Spirit of God on their inside. God knows the hearts of such people. And they lean on the Holy Spirit for whatever they do because after that dealing, they have no life of their own. God is looking to enlist anyone that is willing.

[The Glory Unveiled]

She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. ( Mark 5:26 )

The woman referred to as “she” in the verse was the woman with the issue of blood for twelve years. The scripture says that she had spent all the money she had in search of a cure but instead of getting better, she became worse. The intricate workings of God are hard to fathom. There are times when it seems like life and it’s circumstances have conspired against us. But often, such drawings are the wooing of God to being us into our kairos moments. If this woman with the issue of blood had been healed by any of the doctors she encountered, she probably wouldn’t have met Jesus; in other words she wouldn’t have encountered salvation. The doctors could have helped her flesh but not her soul. All the events of her life led to that memorable encounter with Jesus. As this year comes to an end, we must be very intentional about everything around us because God is intentional about us so much that everything that happens in these times are ushering us into the atmosphere of glory and miracles. All the event in our lives are set ups for divine encounters. Let’s trust God.

Prayer_Bead: Author and Finisher of our faith, guide of the universe, thank you for causing everything to work for my good. Help me to remain aligned to your eternal purposes for me.

That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.( Luke 7:7 )

In the scripture above, the servant of a Roman centurion was sick and about to die. This centurion was a very influential person in his society and so he sent some of the Jewish elders to talk to Jesus about his servant. Now, the elders convinced Jesus to go to the home of the centurion but on their way, the centurion met with them and told Jesus that He didn’t have to come to his house. Instead, He should speak the word, and his servant will be healed. This centurion believed something that we need even more in our time than ever. He believed that the word of Jesus works. And because the word was efficacious, Jesus didn’t have to be present in body to effect changes. His word was enough to do what He would do. The default mode of the word of God is to produce results. So our responsibility is to trust the word. The word works, let us give opportunity to the word by faith and it will yield the desired results.

Prayer_Bead: Thank you gracious Father for the efficacy of your word and the opportunities it makes available. I believe in your word.

We love because he first loved us. ( 1 John 4:19 )

We are in the season of love. And it is only appropriate we turn our lens to the topic of love. Love has lately been misunderstood or abused. The scripture says we love because He first loved us. This means that without He (Christ), we do not know what love is and cannot love as a result. Jesus is the portrait of love for us. Today, in our pursuit of love and our search for it, we need to have the portrait in front of us, Christ. So that love will flow from that trajectory to us. We cannot love in isolation from Christ neither can we be loved without Christ. We can only love God because He first loved us and we can love our neighbors because God first shared His love abroad in our hearts. Let brotherly love continue.

Prayer_Bead: Thank you Lord Jesus for your love for me. Help me to express your love to the world.
