The DIGEST (Glory Complement)

 On #Digest  today is John 17:22.

It is an interesting one…you know why because digesting Verses like this means you’d have to start from the whole chapter and going through it, it explains everything i had in mind..of course, it is the WORD OF GOD so no wonder.

It’s the New Living Translation and I love every bit of it…PLEASE  PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY LINE AND LET IT SPEAK to you…..

John 17(The PRAYER OF JESUS)…

1After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. 2 For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. 3 And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.

4 I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began. 6 “I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

7 Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you,8 for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me.9 “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you._

10 All who are mine belong to you, and you have given them to me, so they bring me glory. 11 Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name;[b] now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are.

12 During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me.I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold. 13 “Now I am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy. 14 I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15 I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. 16 They do not belong to this world any more than I do. 17 Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.

_18 Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world.19 And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth. 20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message._

21 I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.22 “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. 23 I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.

_24 Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!25 “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. 26 I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.

*The Purpose of his #GLORY*

Beloved, at the end of the day, it’s important  we know and understand where this is going.  The Glory of God  itself and that he puts on your head. What’s it for?…..#Purpose

*It wasn’t given JUST to make you look honourable,gracious, priviledged and to be receiving compliments all over.

*It’s not just to bless our lives materially.

*It’s not JUST meant for you, your family or those around you.(_i.e your Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria but includes the ends of the earth )_

*There’s a public Good to it and that’s to bring many others to God’s saving knowledge and be in total worship forever.

ULTIMATE PURPOSE OF GOD’s GLORY ITSELF:

“The purpose of God's glory is to display His infinite beauty, greatness, and perfect character (holiness, goodness, power) for humanity and creation to behold, know, and worship, driving all of existence and action, from CREATION to SALVATION, ultimately to reveal His SUPREME WORTH and draw people into (ETERNAL) RELATIONSHIP with Him.”

CLEAR ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER…

“It's the visible manifestation of His divine essence, a standard that puts human pride (doubt or misconceptions about the creator) to shame and inspires awe, transforming those who see it.”

TO LIVE OUT HIS GLORY FULLY AS HUMANS….

“Humans were created to glorify God, reflecting His image and finding their ultimate fulfillment in experiencing and magnifying His glory._”

Jesus' primary purpose was to bring glory to God through His life, death, and resurrection. One that benefits the whole of mankind here on earth and in heaven. (And this is where we all draw our Purpose)

Our Glory has Purpose. May we live it fully to the glory of our maker. May God help us all.

We say….From #Glory to #Glory💫….#Glorious’26 #WrapForWeek

Verses and Versions and Glorious’26

 On versions and versions of today is the popular Isaiah 60:1. I like the Amplified version here

Christian Standard Bible

*Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD shines over you.*

Do you reckon this???….

*The WEIGHT⚖️ of his #GLORY*💫

Earlier last month (January 2026), we did Glory Intro and we traced Glory to its Hebrew origin(Kavod)  and this is what we said-

_Kavod (כָּבוֹד) is a Hebrew Glory word which goes beyond just the respect& honour but stems from the root word kaved which means the HEAVINESS and WEIGHT of something. It conveys that sense of heaviness, real importance and the visible manifestation of God’s glory beyond measure._

Today, we will dive into scriptures to give you a vivid description of How inexpressibly WEIGHTY God’s GLORY is and then we wrap it up.

First, let’s start with Moses once more and the tabernacle he built as instructed by God’s guidelines….

(Exodus 40:34-38)

_*Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it.*_

_*But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted. The cloud of the lord hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys._*

Does it give you a picture of the Weight?….😉

The Famous Solomon temple for the Lord earlier promised by his father, David…

_*1Kings 8:10-12- “When the priests came out of the Holy Place, a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord.The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the lord filled the Temple of the Lord.Then Solomon prayed, “O  lord, you have said that you would live in a thick cloud of darkness._*

2Chron.5:13-14-

_*The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the Lord with these words:  “He is good!     His faithful love endures forever!”At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord._*

_*The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the Lord filled the Temple of God._*

Are we to play with the Glory of God on our heads??….

In the New Testament, the clearest testament of the WEIGHT of his glory is the transfiguration Matthew‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭

_*”After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. 

If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.”_*

_Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. Romans 8:18_

Therefore, our OTM Defintion of the *WEIGHT of God’s Glory* is that Radiance,Beauty, Honour, Priviledge, Grace,Power that simoly can’t be weighed, expressed or described but to give us a glimpse of God’s might and to cause massive transformations in our lives on earth all because of his redemptive work on the cross.

Once again, this is the WEIGHT of his GLORY that we are dealing with and the inestimable price paid on it which has been bestowed in and upon us to further reflect for all to see his saving knowledge.

There is therefore the need to  not let sin or any other thing taint, dirty or dim what we have as his ambassadors on earth and live it out fully to bless the lives for which it is given.

And so we  say, it is from Glory to Glory..#Glorious’26

The Digest(Psalm 84:11)

 On Digest today is Psalm 84:11,

*For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.*(NLT Version)

The verse is in 3-part here

The Lord God is our Sun and Shield

When I mention your name twice or I put a stress on your name then certainly I am trying to convey something. *The LORD GOD* here is telling us same….That he and he  alone is the source of  the *Sun and Shield* in our lives.(as and when needed)

*Sun produces Light, makes our path so clwar, provide warmth and can be Life to the many viables needed around us.

*Shield offers protection, defense and security against enemies.

The LORD GOD is simply saying fully RELY on me for I alone can give you this in its truest form.

He Gives Grace and Glory…

To fully rely on him to do this life then, we need his Grace which he gladly gives us in terms of the Strength, Knowledge, Wisdom,Power & the many others to do….Crowning it all with  his Glory(splendor, beauty and honour)

Then, lastly, _The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.

In James 1:17- _Every Good and  Perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of the heavenly lights, who doesn’t change like shifting shadows._

Goodness abound in God.That is who he is…They’re all scattered within his kingdom-Here and up there. He’s just saying- Will You obey and Yield to me as I have graced you?(That is what  he means “by those who what’s right”)

And that’s your #DIGEST….#Glory #OTM
