Super ordinary life


[ The Glory Unveiled ]

The sun will no more be your light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.( Isaiah 60:19 )

The Believer is called to extraordinary life. Everything about and around the Believer is supposed to scream “out of ordinary “. Ordinarily, the sun is the giver of light by day and the moon supplies light at night. So that ordinarily, whenever these entities refuse to give light at their designated times, the ordinary man or woman experiences darkness. But here, in this verse of scripture, we see an entirely different situation, one that is not in line with the normal way of things. God says in effect, what used to be our norm will cease to be the norm hence forth. God is using us to break the status quo and to usher in a new order; the order of super ordinary manifestations. Instead of the world or its systems giving us light almost to our detriment, God is now our everlasting light and glory. God does not disappoint, He does not change like the weather. But all these can only be a reality if or when God becomes our Lord and partner. If you have not permitted Him to be Lord over you, please do that today.

Prayer_Bead: Father in heaven, thank you for reconciling me unto yourself through Christ Jesus. I accept the Lordship of Jesus over my life. Forgive me my transgressions and sins. Be my Lord and Saviour, and shine your light in my heart, in Jesus name.

Know your spiritual tribe


[The Glory Unveiled]

No inheritance may pass from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe is to keep the land it inherits.” ( Numbers 36:9 )

Spiritual heritage is very important especially in our day and age. Finding and knowing one’s spiritual ancestry is crucial to the core mandate of our call. The instructions given by God, through Moses to Joshua to be carried out was that, the inheritance (land) should be shared according to tribes and among tribes. There was no other way by which anyone in Israel could have a land allotted to them. Once you belong to a particular ancestry, you can be sure of your share of an inheritance. The problem arises when you don’t know your tribe or you have none, as a result of not knowing your source or not belonging to that lineage. But whatever the case may be, without a connection to a tribe, there is no inheritance and hence there is no legacy to be left. Likewise, our spiritual tribes determine what ripple effects we will leave on the earth and how effective that impact could be. The scripture above says, no inheritance should pass from one tribe to another, but each should keep what they have. Spiritually too, no one can partake in the inheritance of another tribe no matter how hard they try. The best they could do is to pretend or fake the inheritance of that tribe. Unfortunately many of us think we can just stand alone, without spiritual tribes and covering. This is probably the reason for many of the errors and ineffectiveness we see in ministry all around. Are you a prophet, quit acting like a teacher. Are you an evangelist, quit acting like a prophet. Remain in your tribe and you will be relevant.

Prayer_Bead: God of the universe and all its resulting effects, thank you for bringing me up in a particular tribe. Guide me to recognize my tribe and to remain committed to that lineage. Make me a partake of the inheritance of my tribe.

Obey the source


[The Glory Unveiled]

As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying on the road, with both the donkey and the lion standing beside it. ( 1 Kings 13:24 )

The events that led to the scene of this verse of scripture is one that is unimaginable yet full of lessons. A prophet was sent by God from Judah with specific instructions to be carried out in Bethel. He did well to execute his mission but upon his return, he let out some secrets he should have kept for himself or at worst to a selected few. This prophet had announced the secret that sustained him until then to a large gathering so that the children of an old prophet even heard it. They came home to tell their father all that the prophet from Judah had done, and the secret that sustained him. This old prophet, decided to go and deceive the prophet from Judah. He urged him to do the opposite of what God told him to do in the name of “God’s new instruction to him.” The result of his disobedience to God and obeying the words of a man is what we read in the verse above. Now, our lesson: there are certain secrets that must remain secrets between us and God. Whatever God told us in our closet is still valid until, we are convinced otherwise by His Spirit; not by another man, prophet or whoever they may be without first having a witness within us. Let’s stick to God’s word.

Prayer_Bead: Merciful God, Loving Father, thank you for showing us through your word to hold unto your word and to keep secret what needs to be kept secret.

The end in the beginning


[The Glory Unveiled]

I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ ( Isaiah 46:10 )

It is a natural instinct to want to know the end of a thing from the beginning. Business men and women venture into their business deals with the hope and anticipation of making a lot of returns. This is the reason why many people, even some Believers patronize new age astrology and witchcraft. Prophecy is one of the channels through which the mind of God is made known to us. God speaks to his people and unbelievers through the word of prophecy. In the verse of scripture above, we see that God is able and willing to make known to us the end from the very beginning. And God will fulfill His purpose for our lives when we align with that revealed plan for us. For this reason, we have no reason or whatsoever to fail in life. Once we subscribe to the pattern laid out for us in scriptures, everything will work out perfectly. God is not a man to lie nor promise and fail. Once the word has gone out, God will honour it. The secret is to acknowledge God in all we do and He will fulfill His desires for us.

Prayer_Bead: Ancient of days, the wind in my wings, the life in our lives, thank you for your provisions for us. Thank you for showing us the end from the beginning. Let your purpose for us stand.

Alert and Sober


[The Glory Unveiled]

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ( 1 Peter 2:8 )

The enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. But the thing with the devil that is very different from the animal it is compared to is that, the devil will not scream out loud that he is the enemy and that he is coming for you; no! He comes disguised as an Angel of light; a friend, a brother, a spouse, a family friend or member etc. As such the scripture cautions us to be alert and sober minded. Otherwise we will be overtaken with evil and before we could say jack, we are in the ditch. In the verse nine (9) of this same chapter, the word of God shows us how to deal with the enemy. He says we should “resist” him. The enemy will always come at us through our desires…always. This is why we need to be alert and sober minded so that we can resist him. And we become alert by the word of God. It opens our eyes to the schemes of the enemy so that we are not ignorant of his devices. Study the word of God to be sober and alert!

Prayer_Bead: Saviour, Redeemer, Healer, Friend, Source and Origin of all things. Thank you for the anointing to know your word and to stand firmly in it, resisting the enemy. Help me to be alert and sober minded in you.
