ON THIS MORNING (OTM)

  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 And so 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 succeeded in doing. It has exposed our truest and our unstoppable  quest for anything ‘glory’ all 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 & show it to the world, you’d need a  traditional media then which was duty bound to sift through. Today, with your p...

 On Verses and Versions today is John 17:4 which will be our digest later tonight  King James Bible I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. New King James Version I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do *We Pray Lord that- Let these be our words  also when it is all set and done LORD🙏

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. Exodus 40:35 (v.35-38) *Hearts are Touched ...

 Are you seeing these known verses in a different light,? On VERSES AND VERSIONS today, is the popular  Isaiah 60:1 Legacy Standard Bible “Arise, shine, for your light has come, And the glory of Yahweh has risen upon you. Amplified Bible “Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the LORD]; for your light has come, And the glory and brilliance of the LORD has risen upon you.❣️ We Do Digest on different verse tomorrow.

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 wrapping #*GloryVAL #VALinGlory #GloriousRelationship on our #Glory Theme; we simply ask the above. With all that Glory represents and  wanting to have a Glorious Relationship;  take your time, in fact have time to have a careful look at your #ship…. *Truly, is it one to be proud of?* One that as you reflect on, you’re  filled with extreme awe and pride …In fact, you can hit your chest so hard and say  ~I am,~ in fact,  we are…. _( with almost litany of then❣️)_ *Is it Exemplary?.. Is it one that makes people want to desire to enter into one.  One that you’d say people  can  gladly look at and follow or model theirs after. If need be, you can open that lid on yours and the aromatic smell do all the talking. *Lastly, Is it Worth Pursuing… You’re are prepared to fight for any day, work it out any day and live for any other day because you know WHO & what’s in it and where it is going obviously. 1  Chron. 16.24-Declare his glory among the...

 On Verses and Versions for a Brief Digest today is 1John 3.18 NET Bible Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue but in deed and truth International Standard Version Little children, we must stop expressing love merely by our words and manner of speech; we must love also in action and in truth DIGEST Yes, You are the the Little Children🤣( in your Father’s eyes)… Just a brief on this, you know you get to a point where your parents call you brother/Sister although you’re  their son/daughter. Same here, at different times and seasons, God chooses to call us his children, his friend, his bride, co-heir and more. So Back to the Love subject, For us here at OTM , we say in GOD, WORDS= ACTION *What are all the Words you say if not backed with Actions* *And our Actions need legs to stand on in order to have proper meaning and those legs are our Words*  #Otuosquotes In Focus: *GloryVAL #VALinGlory* #GloriousRelationship*  #*Glory #2026Theme*  #Glorious...

  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. (Heb 1:3) Psalm 96:6: “Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 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...

Why Are you still ‘forming’ a Relationship  that is so honourable, dignifying and really really going somewhere… It is Purposeless and you know it deep within.  A #GloriousRelationship, IT IS  NOT!!! Leading to our #GloryVAL topic tonite  on Is There Purpose in your Relationship? …, #CatchYou

The Glory of God doesn’t operate in a vacuum. It is not given just for the sake of it. It is definitely for a Purpose. As treated few weeks ago, the Purpose of God’s Glory is to show who he is, clear any doubt whatsoever,  live  fully in his glory as man and ultimately draw Peeple to saving knowledge .(_Isaiah 43:7, 1Cor.10:31, Psalm 19:1 &more)_ I love a place called Forward….(Who doesn’t….) Not only do People change Relationships when they belief it’s not aligning with their ultimate goal. There are job change too. Career Advancement, Better Salary Offer and the Pride and Prestige are some of the chief reasons. There’s a Purpose to and  for every Relationship. There was what she first imagined when she saw you. There’s a Reason why she chose you and not the other suitable candidates. There’s a future he imagined as Life with you when he mustered that courage to approach you. There was something new, different and refreshing when he accepted to  be with you. The...

 On Verses & Versions…1Corinthians 13:2❣️ WORD® Translation I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don't have love, I am nothing. Good News Translation I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains--but if I have no love, I am nothing.

*That ‘Relationship’ is seriously draining you on all fronts.* You continue to block those questions that continually  pop up saying… ‘Why Am I the only one who feel Squeezed, Used and Dried up in this Relationship that we continue to sing  to the World as ‘Glorious’ #Otuosquotes

 The Glory of God is an All Rounder. It shines through every area of our lives. Drawing from these two verses in 3 John 1 and 1Peter 4.11  _That in all things we will prosper and do well…..in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. We learnt about the Weight of God’s Glory and how although heavy when it comes on us and in our situations, our burdens and yoke are ~made lighter~  lifted because a heavy price has been paid. ”Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matt.‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬, ‭30‬. There is a Weight to every Relationship. There is a Price to pay for and on every Relationship we get into. The Relationship if properly  grounded in Christ simply means we pay the price together, share the burdens  together, together we lift the loads that weigh us down so we will be free. And so why does it look like a one-s...

  New International Version Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law . Thinking about it: How can I owe you Your Faith, Belief, Trust, Hope, Wealth, Confidence,Beauty…[Help me mention more…. ] -Your Faith?…I don’t give it….He does.( Roman 12:3- …Each according to the measure of faith God gives.. -Your Belief?….I don’t determine that….He does…making one wonder because our setting can determine our beliefs.(John 16:33) -Your Beauty/Looks?- Can I be very abrupt- “Menbɔ Nipa oo”   to wit ‘I don’t create human being oo’ so how do i know. Our best option is beauty enhancements/make-ups. -Your Wealth?….I need Some myself oo ….”But Remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth..”(Deut 8.18) -Same can be said for Hope,Confidence et al… The best way in all of these is to HELP you there, LEAD you there, POINT you there…. And that is what LOVE is all about. To ...

Is one seeking all the  #Glory in that Relationship Instead of ~showing~ proving the Love?… *Is it more of the Recognition,Fame, Praises and Grand Gestures(That #GLORY) instead of the Sacrifice, Commitment, Servitude and Selflessness that #LOVE requires* Is that one too A Glorious Relationship???…🤷‍♂️

Some of the things that come to mind when #Glory is mentioned are #Honour, #Respect  and #Dignity. Together they make a #Glorious Relationship with God, with one another and with  that Siginificant Other. A look in the mirror never deceives. (James 1:23-25) For everyone  of us, we know where we stand with a lot of people in our lives.  Those who Respect us, Look down on us, Hold us in very high esteem, those who are lukewarm towards us and those who we are not so sure of because…. Beloved, whatever will make you not to be sure about how someone values you in any serious (committed) relationship is enough red flag 🚩 on its own. *Do your Views matter?….Are they carefully  considered?….Are you made to feel and believe that they do?…Is it a regular pattern in the relationship??? *Is he always the domineering force  who wants to take charge & exert control all in the name of masculinity?…….or Is she one who fakes submission outside but a totally different b...

  Out of our pursuit of a wholesome Relationship with one another based on God’s LOVE for us; his #Glory is displayed in varied forms for all to see and be drawn to him. ~Otuosquotes

  On Verses and Versions, we Slide into the Love zone. Romans 13:8.A Beautiful verse that if only we will behold. New International Version Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The New International Version (NIV) Bible originated from a desire to have a modern English translation that was both accurate and readable, departing from the 17th-century language of the King James Version (KJV). The project was initiated in 1955 by Howard Long, an engineer from Seattle who struggled to share the Bible with others in contemporary English Berean Literal Bible Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one loving the other has fulfilled the Law. TheDigest as you know is twice a week. SomeLoveVerseDigest on Tuesday and Friday. The Berean Bible project, published by Bible Hub, consists of a multi-tiered system designed for both deep study and readable, accurate, modern English, with all t...

 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...

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 DO...
