ON THIS MORNING (OTM)

Basically, while it is true that when his God’s Glory comes down there are many manifestations that take place, chiefly what we do as man also brings his Glory down. And so Whether-  Beauty&Radiance, Hearts are touched inwardly with his Presence, there is an Encounter, MOVE in the atmosphere,Souls are Won,Empowerment and Transformation,Humbling of our Pride, Signs and Wonders et al… First, God by his own doing  & according to plans and purposes can choose to unleash  his Glory to satisfy certain mandate OR… What we do as God’s representatives on earth can ensure his Glory comes down for the many aforementioned to happen.   And so it is definitely a two-way stream.  (Mind you, Attracting His Glory as in what we do as man to attract this glory  is definitely on our list of topics to be treated soon.) #From Glory to Glory #Glorious’26 #Glory #OTM

 When the GLORY of GOD comes down….. There is that Humbling of our Human Pride, Ego and Self-Belief “ When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭2‬ “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭18‬‬‬ Shall we also understand that sometimes for that tangible change, real growth and total transformation  to come, God has to deal with, in fact, painfully  has to clip that one thing that is inhibiting our growth- here our pride and all that surrounds it.  Of course, like I will say they still start from the heart, those inward internal spiritual processes. This is also because Pride and all its related is strongly built in the heart too. And so for ‘a certain those’ who are so full of themselves, who do not see anybody except themselves, who will do anything & everything so that their ox is never gored, will do anything to maintain that ego & status, who are so reliant on their self att...

 On Verses and Versions today. 2 Corinthians 9:13 (Names of God Bible) You will honor God through this genuine act of service because of your commitment to spread the Good News of Christ and because of your generosity in sharing with them and everyone else. The Names of God Bible (NOG) accurately translates the meaning of the original texts into clear, everyday language. The Names of God Bible restores the transliterations of ancient names—such as Yahweh, El Shadday, El Elyon, and Adonay—to help the reader better understand the rich meaning of God’s names that are found in the original Hebrew and Aramaic text. 2 Corinthians 9:13 Revised Standard Version Under the test of this service, you[a] will glorify God by your obedience in acknowledging the gospel of Christ, and by the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others. _The Revised Standard Version (RSV) is a prominent English translation of the Bible published in the mid-20th century. It was intended to modernize t...

You want to be Glorious… You want to be Lifted up  and soar higher up then allow these wings to be clipped -  *Pride,Ego and Reliance on Self attributes* The two run on parallel lines and Proverbs(16:18 & 11:2) makes it absolutely clear…. _This dovetails into When Glory Comes Down….Message tonite._

Can we Thank the Lord for what he’s about to do. In fact, for what  he’s done which is about to manifest.… …And so NOT what he’s already done which is always easy to praise him for BUT the many that he’s yet to show forth in our lives. Shall we Do This FAITH IT Glorious  Prayer. 🙏 🙏🙏

 *When the GLORY of GOD comes down….. It’s a 2-pronged one.👇🏻 *We’re Empowered for his Work & there is also that change & Transformation in People’s lives (in all aspects albeit diverse) _ In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. 1 Peter 5:10_ (Rom. 12:2, 2 Cor. 3:18) Shall we also understand that for that empowerment , tangible change, real growth and total transformation  to come; it can only be when his Glory descend. (  This is reciprocal or a two- way stream and we’ll briefly touch on it on Friday) And of course, they still start from the heart, those inward internal spiritual processes. The only difference is that:  *There Empowerment, Change & Transformation  can be both radical and gradual towards the intended goal. Scripture and even our life happenings all attest...

 On Digest today are these two verses and we keep both of them for a reason. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV) _*19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies._* 1 Corinthians 3:16-17(NKJV) *16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone [b]defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.* Frankly, I have quoted them separately on many occasions but had not taken  notice that they were two different verses until we were led to do a digest on it thereby spotting the clear similarities and relations. And so * Both Start with that daring Question( trying to hit home that all important point)-  *DO YOU NOT KNOW…. * That ~YOU~ making it clearer  *Your BODIES are of GOD(HOLY SPIRIT)…. Here the point about the Tri...

Beloved, bear in mind that Every (Change) Phase in your Life has its Challenges, Lessons, Rewards and finally Crowns with Glory. May you receive the  Grace, Boldness, Power and Strength to face that new level in your Life so that you can be Crowned with that deserving Glory. #EmpoweredForAction #ChangeandTransformation #CrowningGlory #You Are Glorious Brethren. (Ephesians 1:19-20)

Declare this Morning  My Hands are Productive  My Mouth  speaks Life My Head dream  big Dreams My Eyes see Visions My Whole Body Glorifies Everything  About Me is BLESSED!!!

 *When the Glory Comes Down….There is a MOVE in the Atmosphere, Surrounding, Region and all Around Us (to fulfill divine mandate)* Ex odus 40:35-38-Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the lord filled the Tabernacle. Shall we also understand that sometimes for that tangible change, real growth and total transformation to come, God causes a move or change in the Atmosphere/Surrounding and in almost everything around us. This is where you hear- Everything in the atmosphere points to…. I can feel a change/shift in our midst….It is like this is a Season of….   And there you’ll see Everybody and Everything drifting there. And this happens when the Lord wants to cause a Corporate move, Impact Congregations and cause that global and national revolutions  all in line with his purpose…. …But of course, they still start  from preparing his people way before time, raising his army of soldiers across nations and ...

  1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV) _*19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies._* 1 Corinthians 3:16-17(NKJV) *16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone [b]defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.* Spotted the difference & similarities?….We Digest on Thursday.

 There is Glory in ‘that’ your Environment/ in your Location … In where God has placed you. May you locate that Glory  in whatever Location the Lord has placed you shining and illuminating for all to see his ultimate Glory there of. You Are Glorious Brethren. (Isaiah 43:19)

Lord, Help me not to * Forsake(abandon, desert, leave  entirely) * You in  Everything I do. Jeremiah 2:17: "Have you not brought this on yourselves by forsaking the LORD your God while He led you in the way?". #IntentionalPrayers

"_ But you, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head" (NIV) In a time where David was  surrounded by enemies, enemies who dared his God, questioning whether his God could save him… He Lifted this Prayer to him. *Shield Around Me- Being his Divine Protector, David Declared this to signify that should any unseen and impending danger erupts, he knows the God he serves. One whose shield🛡️ protect him Spiritually and Physically. *My Glory: Therefore, bringing  all due honour in victory. *Lifter of my Head:Putting away any shame, defeat, lost hope so that he can lift his head up high because he has the one and only true GOD. ( who is comparable to no other)  With this deeper understanding, DECLARE these over your Life because this is our Portion as  Children of God. And that is your #DIGEST✨

The Struggles never stop but…. *There is Glory in every phase of your struggle.* And so… *Fully Embrace IT for you’ve been Empowered  way before Time to Overcome IT all.* *You are Glorious!!!✨💫🙌* (John 16:33, Ephesians 2:10)

 Make Time to add Fasting to your Prayers. At least once a week. It will do you a lot more Good Remember, This kind does not go away except by Prayer and Fasting.( Mark 9.29) We Wrestle not against flesh and blood the Bible says(Ephesians 6:12) #Otuosmusings #OTM

Kindly Reflect on Psalm 104:24-34 and turn it into that Prayer. It spoke to me this morning and I believe it will do same to you. 🙌 2 4O Lord, what a variety of things you have made!In wisdom you have made them all.The earth is full of your creatures.25 Here is the ocean, vast and wide,teeming with life of every kind,both large and small.26 See the ships sailing along,and Leviathan,which you made to play in the sea.27 They all depend on you to give them food as they need it. 28 When you supply it, they gather it.You open your hand to feed them and they are richly satisfied…. 29 But if you turn away from them, they panic.When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.30 When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth.31 May the glory of the Lord continue forever!The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!32 The earth trembles at his glance;the mountains smoke at his touch.33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.I will praise m...

On Verses and Versions is Psalm 3:3-One of my GodLovely Verses❣️ American Standard Version But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head. A Faithful Version But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the One Who lifts up my head. We Digest the Verse Later # GLORIOUS’26 You know where your Glory start from: *That Inner Peace of “It is going to be Alright” even in that state of confusion and Despair . Your #Glorious’26

When the Glory of God comes down….There Are ENCOUNTERS: People encounter God in a different light as seen physically. Job 42:5: "I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, *but now my eye sees you*". Shall we also understand that sometimes for that tangible change, real growth and total transformation  to come, God works it out through ‘serious’ divine Encounters.  Knowing  the kind of people and situations to be dealt with, that is definitely the best option by the all knowing God. And of course, they still start from the heart, those inward internal spiritual processes. The only difference is that this is radical. *An Encounter?…. “A personal, often sudden, meeting with God or a divine messenger, leading to profound revelation, transformation, and a deep change in a person's life” And so for ‘a certain those’ who are so stiff-necked, whose hearts and conscience are seered by the enemy, who are deep seated in the world, from other religions, already into  evil an...

When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father_* (John 15:8) Anytime we do Digest, Remember that Scripture interprets another or gives further insight into another and so on. Scripture(God’s Word) is interlinked,interlaced and interwoven to give one beautiful Design and Look-CHRIST, Born, Died and Risen to save mankind irrespective of whatever. And so,  *There are Results and there  are overwhelming results. *There are Fruits and there are plenty fruits. *There is Glory and there is the Greater form  and even another greater form of it *The text says when we produce much fruit, then indeed we are his disciples  bringing not just glory but a greater glory to the father. It simply means you were to made to do more, give more,love more and show more than the ‘best’ you think you are doing. (Remember, he came so that you will have life to live it and live it more abundantly. John 10:10) Using another scripture again, the para...

 On Verses and Versions today is  John 15:8 The Versions and Background to it: Catholic Translations Douay-Rheims Bible In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples. _The Douay-Rheims Bible is a historic English translation of the Latin Vulgate, produced by 16th-century Catholic scholars in exile. Renowned for its literal, word-for-word style and traditional,, formal language, it served as the standard English Catholic Bible for centuries. It includes the Deuterocanonical books and is popular for devotional use. Catholic Public Domain Version In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples. The Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV) is a modern English translation of the Latin Vulgate. It uses the Challoner Douay-Rheims version as a guide to modernize the language while adhering to Roman Catholic theology and avoiding inclusive language. New Living Translation*❣️ * When you pro...

 It might sound very cliché BUT hear this once again in total BELIEF:  * In that Repeated Struggle is his Unending GLORY in your Life and those after you. #HangInThere #Belief #DontGiveUp #Otuosquotes

Psalm 16:11- "*You make known to me* the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore" Shall we understand that for every tangible change, real growth and total transformation  that is seen in the lives of people; it starts from the inward ( our hearts). Here we are first looking at those deep (spiritual) internal processes  that go on in the life of many around us before any visible action. For the many who are deeply burdened, in total despair, a Gloomy and troubling Life all round, when the Glory of God  descend… … It is just that Word of God that drops in their spirit, That godly sorrow that convicts and rebuke them to repent, That Reaasurance that they need to keep on, That Word that Speaks directly  to their Situation, That Confirmation of they need to pursue that goal…. … That which keep their Heart at total peace preventing from ‘taking that action’, That which energizes to now say let’s Do it & Tho...

  I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.(NKJV) Recently we did a Digest on a verse and  we drew down the whole chapter because it said  it all🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Beloved, today is no different. What’s important is the version which is the NEW LIVING TRANSLATION. Start falling in love  because I have already🥰. This version  is so succinct without any adulteration. And so from John 17:4 it takes us to John 17:1-17(NLT)- A Prayer by Jesus to God About US. _ 17 After 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, b...

Psalm 27:4 (NIV): "One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. Attracing his Glory, Revealing His Glory,Manifesting His Glory… all tie together Even for the least of all ‘glories’,  it will amaze you to know how people will die for such. _The other day I was thinking of what at all Mr.Sanballat and Tobiah were looking for..(Is it not little glory/favour with the king?) Therefore, how much more that of the  Most High GOD?… You know what the media, social media especially has done. It has exposed our truest and our unstoppable  quest for anything ‘glory’ in the full glare of the whole world. Of course, we knew a lot of things were done in secret and even if you wanted to be brave about it and show it to the world a few while back, you’d need a traditional media which was(is) duty bound to sift through. Today, with your phone right in fr...

There shall speak of the Glory of  your kingdom and talk of your power; to make known to the sons of men your mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of your kingdom.( Psalm 145:11-12) There is always  that ‘something’ that happens when God, his Spirit-His #GLORY falls… When we do say-You will never be the same when you meet or encounter God;  it is true, it works and becomes evident for all to see whether now or with time. We will do a glimpse of what happens and later follow suit with elaborate details  When the GLORY of GOD comes down….. *Hearts are filled with the Tangible manifestation of God’s Presence and Power *People encounter God in a different light as seen/evidenced  *There is a MOVE in the atmosphere, vicinity, region and countries (all in order to fulfill divine mandate) Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the lord filled the Tabernacle.

Still in a bit of the Love zone but this time relating it to the Glory.And this one got my attention greatly. “_ The relationship between love and glory is primarily defined through a theological lens, where love is the motivation and action, and glory is the ultimate, manifested result. Within this framework, love (specifically God's love) is often seen as the pursuit of a relationship with people, and this act of loving is the very display of God's glory._”❣️

So then, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of [our great] God A thought on it and the simple question is why did he use what we eat and drink?… because that is the commonest of things to us as humans. It is so close to home sitting right under the eyes and nose. Therefore, if he is concerned about that and want you to honor him with even those minutest things, how much more the very big ones.* *It also tells us that -God is interested in the very very little details of our lives and want us to give it all to him. (Remember, when he once said-_I know the number of hair on your head.Luke 12:7)_* A Very Simple Verse but stretch it out and you’ll find out it is eternally elastic….#unending #Calling us to surrender, devote and commit it all to him even when …(add it ) Your Digest Today

  In dealing with the intro phases of our Glory theme few weeks back, elements like Beauty, radiance, light and stars featured greatly. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

A Captivating Look An illuminating sparkle An irresistible smell ( These phrases caught your attention asking yourself who or what are we talking about) Today, we won’t ask the questions or situate the discussion from the negative standpoint rather the positive. *Imagine a relationship where the thought just the mere thought of each other is ENOUGH to make wonna do, stop, want to to fight, not give up *Imagine a relationship where your (godly) conviction of what you see in him, the Grace and Light upon his/her life, what his/her future portends , what you have practically witnessed from your intimate talk sessions make you w...
