Manifesting His glories; Contending with forces that will not want you to manifest God’s glory.

Glory 4

HOW?

  1. Engage in spiritual Warfare against gates that might want to lock your glory out of your life.

We need to contend through the power of the spirit against every force that will not want our glory to be revealed. It is not a physical affair! It is a battle in the realm of the spirit through fasting and prayers.

2Co:10:3: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

2Co:10:4: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

2Co:10:5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

2Co:10:6: And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

 

Psalms:24:7: Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Psalms:24:9: Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

 

Fasting prayers and everything that will keep us in his presence are the weapons.

 

  1. Endure affliction (the place of waiting) – waiting is not wasting, it is preparing you for glories ahead.

2Co:4:17: For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

 

1Pe:5:10: But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

If we break our waiting or get tired of it. It is dangerous because each time we come   back we would need to start afresh.

 

  1. Be born again- A carnal mind might not be able to wait or contend because he lacks the spiritual strength to do so. Salvation will not only help to reveal your glory but will also give you the strength to wait , contend and get into your glory. Salvation ushers in the King of glory because his death on the cross seals us unto glory!

Psalms:24:9: Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

 

1Co:2:7: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

1Co:2:8: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1Co:2:9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

1Co:2:10: But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Please note that Christ is the wisdom of God with him in your life, you are ordained for glory! 1Co:1:24: But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Prayer- Lord help me to manifest your glory.

Take a decision to follow Christ from today and your life will be full of his glory.

Manifesting His glories – ‘Attracting God’s glory’

Glory 5

Today we shall be looking at how we can connect with God for full manifestation of his glories. The covenant practices below ensure his abiding presence (glory in our lives);

  1. Fasting & prayers
  • Fasting and prayers generates a high intensity of glory upon our lives

How?

  • Fasting and prayer reduces the flesh and increases the spirit.
  • The spirit is closer to God than the soul and body, the closer you are to God, the more of his light you reflect and consequently the greater the level of his glory you generate.
  • This glory attracts favor – Nehemiah, Esther

Ne:1:3: And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

Ne:1:4: And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,

Ne:2:4: Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.

Ne:2:5: And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.

Worship: Worship brings God into his house, and wherever God goes his glories follows. We are his terbanacle, a daily life of worship guarantees his abiding presence and consequently his abiding glory.

2Ch:5:13: It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

2Ch:5:14: So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

Study, hearing & doing of the Word: In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. The more of the word you have, the more of God you have in your life which translates to more of his presence and more of his glory.

Joh:1:14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

2Co:3:18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass( the mirror of his word) the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Jas:1:23: For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

Holiness –

  • The purposefulness of Daniel not to defile himself with the portion of king’s meal.
  • The resolve of Joseph not sleep with Potiphar’s wife

Devil also sees the glory of man ahead of him and always makes effort to truncate it; our resolve to call the devil’s beckoning to sin bluff reinforces God’s presence and glory in our lives.

  • Devil failed concerning Daniel & Joseph

Da:6:3: Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

Da:6:28: So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Gen:45:13: And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither

  • He succeeded in the case of Samson & Solomon and they were robbed of their glory.
  • Devil must not succeed in your own case.

Prayer- Lord help me to manifest your glory

Take a decision to follow Christ as from today and your life will be full of his glory.

Manifesting His glory

glory 6

February was the month of empowerment. I am sure we have all been empowered to do exploits in all realms. Visible evidence will show in our lives in Jesus name.

I welcome all to march, the month glory, starting from this month, we shall all manifest his glory in Jesus name.

Gen:45:13: And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither-Anchor Verse.

Today we shall look at the following two subheadings

  1. Everyone is born with God’s glory He’s meant to manifest. God did not create anyone as a nonentity; a certain level of magnificence is created with everyone which might vary in expression, manifestation and impact depending on God’s plan and purpose for every individual.

Joseph, Job, Paul Jesus Christ and Psalmist to mention but a few talked about the glory.

In Gen:45:13, Joseph talked about his glory in Egypt; And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither

David did same in Psalms:108:1: O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

Jesus Christ mentioned his own in John:17:24: Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Paul in 1Co:9:15 said But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void- He is manifesting God’s glory.

Friend there is a glory you are born to manifest!

  1. God does not share his glory with anyone; we only reflect/manifest the one he causes to rise upon us, therefore no man takes credit of the glory he is manifesting and without God in our lives, it is difficult if not impossible to manifest( or flash) any glory.

Isa:60:1: Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Isa:43:5: Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

Isa:43:6: I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

Isa:43:7: Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

We are able to manifest his glory because we are his children just as a prince manifests the glory of a king. The bible says ‘ye are gods’.

Psalms:82:6: I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Isa:41:23: Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

For you to manifest his glory, the king of glory must come into your life

Col:1:27: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Why don’t you allow the king of glory to come into your lives today and begin to manifest his glory!

Solomon & Beatrice Akinleye

Prayer- God please make me manifest the glory I was born to manifest.

Divine Empowerment-Sustaining the Flow!

Leave a comment

empower 2

Sustaining and retaining any gift or what we acquired is more cumbersome or tasking than acquiring them. The reason is not farfetched; it is much easier to pull down than to build.

To enjoy continuous flow of power there are some covenant practice we must follow, this is necessary because GOD WILL not release his power to fools or those that will misuse it. The practice will also ensure full connection with the source of power.

These are what we must do/ensure;

  1. Purity: Purity and power goes hand in hand: In the study of electrical power, Power flows better in a pure conductor than in an impure one or insulator.
  • That is why the spirit of holiness (Holy Spirit) is necessary even before the beginning of flow of power in a Christian.

Act:1:8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

  • Mary was able to conceive the power of God (Christ) because she was a virgin; virginity connotes holiness.

M’t:1:20: But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Prayer & Fasting: Waiting on the Lord. ‘Fasting weakens the flesh and strengthens the spirit. The Bible makes us to understand that God is spirit and they that worship him must do so in spirit and truth.

Isa:40:28: Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

Isa:40:29: He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Isa:40:30: Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

Isa:40:31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Operating in the spirit increases power to a level that can deal with any nagging situation in our lives, fasting enhances this.

Isa:58:6: Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

M’t:17:20: And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

M’t:17:21: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

  1. Study of the word. The study, faith, understanding and the confession of the word engenders power:

Ec:8:4: Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

The power in this word when spoken has capacity to create or destroy.

Ge:1:3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Joh:1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh:1:2: The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh:1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

Power is good but to maintain the flow and not lose it we need to develop the spiritual attitude above.

Welcome to March- the Month of Glory.
